I heard this point of view somewhere...

What H&E boards think of it? There's any true on it?

Btw, i disagree... but i'm a boy so!

-- Begin of EDIT

Well... i'm not english natural speaker, so, some of my posts may seem rubish.

That said, attending Sakura Blossoms, i'll complement.

Girls like SasuSaku pairing, while Boys like NaruSaku pairing. Does it make any sense to you?

[Sakura Blossoms]

I'm not sure what you're asking here at all

[Smiter]

Completely untrue generalisation.

There are plenty of ladies around on the H&E boards, and some of them are the most fanatical fans I have ever known. XD

I don't think you can really pigeon-hole the followers of a pairing. It would be easy to say that, say, Sasuke fans all like SasuSaku, but I know of some that love Sasuke - yet don't follow SasuSaku (usually because it doesn't fit Sasuke's character).

It probably just depends on your perception of what makes a loving relationship, what your idea of romance is. I don't know if I can generalise the pairings this much, but it feels like NaruSaku offers love borne from friendship and trust, a more realistic love where you accept each other's flaws as well as strengths. Whereas I usually see SasuSaku portrayed as some sort of angsty Romeo & Juliet story, the idea of instant romance with slatherings of tragedy. Your usual soap-opera romance, if you will.

[True]

I think I somewhat understand what you are trying to say.

NaruSaku

Boys - (and me personally) like it because they want Naruto to get what he wants
Girls - like it because they admire Sakura's personality and character

NaruHina

Boys - like her personality and character
Girls - like it because they can relate to liking a guy from a distance

SasuSaku

Boys - no idea in hell.........
Girls - they want Sakura to get the guy she wants or at least thats what they think she wants

A stupid generalization and absolute speculation, but I think it holds some value to the least

[Asuma&TheCigarrete]

SasuSaku

Boys - no idea in hell.........

Yeah, i know what you mean here :thumbs:

Yeah, I totally agree with you^^
People mostly decide what pairing to support by looking at the kind of relationship the two have.

[Vyse]

For some reason I read this thread as
Boys=NaruSaku
Girls=NaruSasu

I have no idea why, but I prepared this huge assed flame for you right here before I saw what it was you wrote in the first place... lol

Oh well, I say the pairings in itself is based upon your own likes and dislikes. When you ask NaruHina fans why they like that pairing, you mostly get answers like "They look so kewt together."
A NaruSaku fan is more of the traditional shonen jump fan I guess, since we flock around the pairing where the main character gets the girl he wants, and not the shy girl who rarely say anything to him. Omg, the silent treatment... so kewt </sarcasm>

Me? I like crackpairings better, but I ship NaruSaku as canon because I want Naruto to get the one he's been after since day one (and before!).

I agree with salvation on this.

[Pite]

It does not make sense at all mate. I know more girls that like NS than SS.

Krisk does not count as 12 people evethought she acts like 12.

[marinka18]

SasuSaku

Boys - no idea in hell.........

Maybeee they like it because they think Sakura is hot or Sasuke is cool. (I know a boy that thinks Sasuke is kool XP)

[Chidori Mistress]

LOL, my guy friends who like SasuSaku admitted that they want the Uchiha Clan revived.
But who knows. I'm sure they don't all think like that.


Anyway, yeah I'm a girl who loves NS.

[Mik3]

Most girls Ive talked to support Naru/Saku, im guessing it just depends on who you ask.

[Migz]

actually, in my case more girls lake the paring SASUNARU the paring i most hate because of yaoi.

all the girls i asked sasunaru for life. People like this need to watch Naruto abridged and see wat happends to yaoi fans.

SasuNaru is the most popular pairing, but SasuSaku is the most popular het pairing based on google and fanfiction.

Though for some reason I don't see many of them around unlike the rabid NaruHina fans

I guess they aren't as militaristic because of all the angst in the relationship

Nah, there are a lot of SasuSaku fans that are just as rabid/militaristic.

My guess is that their clamor has died down somewhat because canon SasuSaku material is on a 200+ chapter long drought.

NaruHina built it's fandom on next to no canon material at all, so something like that doesn't bother them much, I guess.

Wow, I've been gone for quite a while. Good to be back, everyone.

[Wilson]

Hmm, not really, i mean here, we have loads of gals that like NS.

THat generalization is wrong.

[Manda]

Um, I have to agree with Smiter.

I'm a girl and I also happen to be an avid NaruSaku supporter. Gender has nothing to do with whom supports/ships what pairing. Its just about what sparks your intrest.

[True]

Does anybody know of any boys who like SasuSaku? and why? I've never seen one ever O_O

[Heavens Wrath]

I think I somewhat understand what you are trying to say.

NaruSaku

Boys - (and me personally) like it because they want Naruto to get what he wants
Girls - like it because they admire Sakura's personality and character

NaruHina

Boys - like her personality and character
Girls - like it because they can relate to liking a guy from a distance

SasuSaku

Boys - no idea in hell.........
Girls - they want Sakura to get the guy she wants or at least thats what they think she wants

A stupid generalization and absolute speculation, but I think it holds some value to the least

And that about sums up how I feel.

I though, am a guy that likes NaruSaku.

In general, it's a generalization, and like all generalizations, holds no absolute truth.

You took the words right out of my mouth.
