Question: Do Japanese men still pee for accuracy?

Fifty years ago, the Japanese were some of the most ferocious warriers in the world. In many battles in World War II, the American military had to annihilate them almost to the last man to achieve victory.

And now the Japanese male has come to this? Shaving his legs, buying lotion, and shying away from women? Holy Jesus, that just ain't right. Somebody pump some testosterone into their water supply, stat!

I don't know, Monty. I'm sort of comfortable with the pussification of the Japanese and the Germans.

Well I guess this explains their declining birth rates.
More hot asians for the rest of us!

I'm thinking there must have been some serious problems with the Japanese translation of Lysistrata.

And to think, they used to be only interested in loving you long time.

Declining birthrates don't mean more hot asians for us. Pussified asian males means more hot asians for us. And more CK models.

Does anyone have information on cheap airline tickets to Tokyo?

I don't know about you, but Japan is pretty firmly in the "ally" category, so I wouldn't mind seeing Japanese men be tougher. They'd come in handy if China gets to be a serious problem.

I don't know how manly China will be with an upcoming 3:1 ratio of men to women. Either extremely tough or there will be a lot of Brokeback ... , oh I dunno, someone help me out there.

I sent this link to Karol, too, and she thought the surplus of Chinese men were the perfect solution to the problem.

I blame the tentacle-rape manga.

There's a solution to this: Oyster Sushi.

Credit Card - Check
Suitcase - Check
Plane ticket - Check
Inseminating the Japanese population - Priceless

Maybe a global strike is called for.

Women are a hassle. I mean come on.

If "No means no" why can't "I'm fine" mean "I'm fine" or "Do what you want" actually mean it is ok for me to go to the bar with my friends on our anniversary?

From my knowledge of Japan, the women seem too wrapped up in themselves and purse-sized dogs, while the men like cartoons and working. I'm not sure either sex knows how to fix the problem.

Dear Japanese Women,

I am an American KKKonservative Man. I like guns, beer, trucks and poontang. Please feel free to visit me in my trailer. Although please learn to speak Engrish first. I am unafraid to commit, ask my last 4 wives. I hope I see you soon.

P.S. Is it true your cootchies are sideways? That's just weird.

I wouldn't mind a Japanese woman pouring her heart out to me. I wouldn't catch a fuckin' word of it. As long as she finished the conversation with "mnph...slurp...mnph".

Wasn't there some noise earlier about the Japanese developing fembots? Perhaps this is an indication of how well that research is progressing. Once fembots are sufficiently advanced, men will need women like fish need fin rot. Of course, that doesn't explain the leg-shaving and skin lotion.

Love stinks.

yeah, yeah.

Once fembots are sufficiently advanced, men will need women like fish need fin rot.

Why do you think I'm so excited about the Singularity?

Only fifteen more years!

Apparently the Singularity is already in Japan:

Michiyo did an informal survey among the single men in her department, and reports that six out of eight replied that the reason they choose to avoid ren'ai altogether is because they cannot see any merit in being with women.
(Girls are a hassle, they expect me to call, I have to buy them gifts and that would cost money)" was one 34-year-old male's sum-up.

So, I've been reading that book, The Singularity Is Near. There are many interesting ideas, he's almost certainly right about a fair amount of stuff, and he's on crack about other stuff. But the book is horribly written. He has these fake dialogues between him and some girl and her future self and her future boyfriend or something that are just painful to read. Really really painful. It's worth the pain for the interesting technology stuff, but come on, man. Good book, criminally bad writing.

Come on Sandy, you're just mad all the pages don't fit in your pants.

I need to start wearing loose baggy socks.

Hey, did anyone else find it odd this article completely fails to mention Japanese porn as the substitute for women? I understand it is so common you can see businessmen reading really graphic stuff on the subway.

I think it probably has to do with the unrealistic expectations set by Japanse porn, and Japan's proximity to the Philippines and Thailand.

TallDave, you're scaring me.

I've heard that too, TallDave: a couple of my friends in the Army did a tour in Japan, and they talked about guys reading porn - violent rape/BDSM manga comics seem to be all the rage over there - right on the subways. And freely groping unaccompanied women in the crowded subway cars, the women blushing in shame, trying to get away from the gropers, while a car full of passengers looked the other way.

Personally, IMHO, a little metrosexualization/pussification seems to be in order for a culture devoted to rape comic books. Or maybe they're so addicted to pornographic fantasy women that they can't handle the real thing anymore.

...And while, as a libertarian, I have nothing against pornography itself (behind closed doors, anyway) , the aggressive mainstreaming of porn in our society makes me wonder if we're not heading down the same path as the Japanese, and will be in the same boat as they are in the next couple of decades. For example, those of you with young daughters know how hard it is to find clothing in the stores that doesn't look like something a stripper would wear. And I haven't heard of thong underwear being marketed to grade school-age girls in Japan, as has happened here in this country.

I read the article, but all I saw was "Men who dig chicks desperately needed in Japan."

The call has been issued, single men. Will you answer?

The vulcans have a thing called PON FARR with means they must find a mate or die just like what happens with the eelbirds of rigal 5 who must return to the caves where they were hatched or die in the trying

"And I haven't heard of thong underwear being marketed to grade school-age girls in Japan, as has happened here in this country."

That might be just a matter of anatomy.

Just a day or two ago, Spirit Fingers posted a picture of someone wearing Daisy Duke shorts in Hong Kong. Let's just say that there's probably a pretty good reason why thongs came out of Brazil and not out of anywhere in Asia.

We need the Japs to stay tough to balance out the Chinese. This ain't helping.
