Why are (some ... er, many) women always trying to "read" men? And then the one time out of ten they get it right they take it as proof of their psychic powers. And when they don't get it right they still insist that they're right but the guy is lying about his true feelings.
A conversation I've had way too many times:
Her: You're angry with me.
Me: No I'm not.
(In truth, I am not ... have no idea WTF she's talking about).
Her: Yes you are! I can tell!
Me: No! I am not! If I say I am not, then I am not!
Her: Yes you are! You're just trying to avoid an argument!
Me: I AM NOT FUCKING ANGRY WITH YOU!!!
Her: See! I knew it!
Sheesh ... never again ...

I don't exactly understand your logic here.
And don't exactly care enough to try...

Use Japan's very well developed train systemWage Slave wrote:what are you going to do when you get old is a good question.
Wage Slave wrote:In my case I rationalised it away as a tax dodge - which it was at the time. And yeah, what are you going to do when you get old is a good question. Some people say that there isn't a problem - the money not spent on kids will pay for carers, care home and so on. True, but that still leaves the issue of power of attorney/someone defending your best interests and all that jazz. No guarantees either way but kids are likely a better bet.
If university was more affordable or there was a system of student loans here, I'd feel a lot more comfortable than I am. You are looking down the barrel of at least 5 million Yen per child. We'll do it and I don't resent it, but it's a lot of money.

5 million Yen per child is a gross underestimate, even when your child goes through public education only.
But yeah, money is a big reason why many young people do not reproduce.
