Since time immemorial, at the dawn of the Neolithic period, when humans began to leave caves and create the first settlements, humans began to record their imagination, a reflection of their inner universe; for the first time, man began to connect with himself.
It is believed that the statuettes of female forms called “Venuses” date back to this period, and that they were the idealization of beauty, or artistic representations that portrayed the women of the time. However, once humans began to seek to understand the world around them, to connect with themselves through their imagination, a question arises: could these statuettes of female silhouettes not be a way of representing their waifu?
In Greek mythology, we know the myth of Pygmalion, a sculptor who fell in love with his own sculpture, but before that he certainly idealized his waifu, not only in the aesthetic field, but also in all of her qualities.
Even Da Vinci's Mona Lisa was most likely a representation of the artist's inner waifu. There is a theory that Leonardo used his own facial proportions to create her.
When a man looks at a woman and creates a whole fanfic, imagining her personality, tastes, qualities, for example. In fact, he is connecting with his inner waifu. Since that image in his head is not the person he sees but a being that is in his imagination, and through this lived experience, even though it is not in the real world, it exists in the metaphysical field.
