Waifus are love. We are our waifus. Our waifus are a part of ourselves.

Most people are attracted to their waifus because of certain qualities they see in them. Of course, that would assume that you share many similarities with your waifu. But if you say that they are different from you, then I would still think opposite attraction complements yourself, as if it makes you and your waifu into a single unifying whole.

She could exhibit all the traits you don't have that you wish to have. So if you claim that you just like your waifu just because you happen to like her, just think of it this way, what exactly makes you and your waifu so different than those other people who share them?


Even though a waifu is a result of another person's creation and establishes her base concepts, it is up to you to decide who your waifu is to make her your very own. Your waifu is you. She is a part of yourself - your thoughts are what make her complete in your eyes. In essence, everything you like is a reflection or a shadow of yourself or what you want to be. It's a reflection of your taste, a reflection of your love for certain motifs - in this case, your waifu.

Now I'd say your waifu, in the concept of the self, serves roughly two functions: What you want to be and what you are. You want to be your waifu because she has those qualities that you admire but you lack. You are your waifu because you and your waifu resonate in many aspects.
