"You don't look like someone who'd be into anime"

This is what I've been told from a few people when I tell them this. Has anyone else ever had this said to them as well? I find it funny as I've watched Genshiken (anime about otakus) and saw the same thing said to one of the characters in there (Kosaka) and he was regarded as the good looking guy.

So just what is the typical otaku look in the 21st century? If this was asked about 10 years ago then most people would think it'd be a fat person but I've seen one thing that made me come up with this question. David Jones (a big department store here in Aus) had some mannequins out in a display window in a busy mall street months ago and the surprising thing about them was that it was focused on anime, anime fashion that is.

They had the mannequins dressed in checkered shorts if I remember correctly with plain white t-shirts and a bandana around their neck plus a ridiculous mohawk-type of wig on their head. Behind them was a big picture of an anime character with part of a spaceship shown in the background on Mars. I guess that's what the general public perceives an otaku as now don't they? At least in Melbourne anyway XD. If only I had taken a photo that time to show you guys lol.
