My Girlfriend vs My Waifu

My girlfriend My Waifu Not being real

Two smiling anime girls are labeled “My girlfriend” and “My Waifu,” with the center caption saying “Not being real.” The joke contrasts a real girlfriend with an idealized fictional waifu, implying that neither relationship is real or that the waifu is the more desirable fantasy. It is used as a self-deprecating reaction about anime crushes, loneliness, or preferring fictional characters.
