lol..someone even managed to fit Obama into it in the comments..

I am sorry, I just can't seem to wrap my head around this one, why do guys dress like this? Is there some connection to the way guys wore clothing back during Edo period? Some sort of rebellion against having to wear uniforms throughout school? An In-your-face attitude to guys having to dress masculine? Maybe all of the above, maybe there is no reason behind it, but whatever the reason, there is something about it I just can't stand. But at least there is nothing keeping people from doing what they want, if this happened in America the guys would recieve no end of shit for looking like a girl, here, no one seems to care, which leads all sorts of crazy fashion and that's something I do like about Japan.

Because they are emasculated fools living in a fantasy world.

here, no one seems to care, which leads all sorts of crazy fashion and that's something I do like about Japan.

Agree 100% It's one reason why I love the Japanese so much.

[Neo-Rio]

No, not all Japanese men are girly men.

The 10% of the male population who will successfully breed are really the only men required in this country.

[hairygateau]

the more I think about it, the chicks really do rule the roost here. deep down, i think the j-girls don't dress up all 'kawaii' to impress/arouse the fellas, it's to impress their j-girl mates.

when raised with a solid p0rn diet of some poodle-haired yak kid pounding the pixilated patch of a squeaking, pre-teen lookalike, I'm not really suprised that they lose the appetite to procreate.

all that three-steps-behind/subservient housewifey stuff is all a cunning plan, i tell ye

I do find most the guys around my age (mid 30s, FYI) and younger to be pretty worthless though.

It took you how long to figure that out?
Welcome to Japan!!!

Why do you think that women want to give up shitty jobs pouring tea when they get married? So they can have some power and control in their lives - they grab it with both hands and sprint off down the road with their husbands' balls in their handbags.

deep down, i think the j-girls don't dress up all 'kawaii' to impress/arouse the fellas, it's to impress their j-girl mates.

Again - very observant of you.... did you assume it was all for the benefit of the blokes? It is a competition amongst the chicks.

[Takechanpoo]

Until 16 years old, I too was such a girly boy which had whiter-than-white skin, pure eyes and innocent heart.
But now I am becoming a filthy stinky oyaji day by day.

[Christoff]

Lets see how this effects japan's negative population growth.

[GomiGirl]

But now I am becoming a filthy stinky oyaji day by day.

No!! Stop it!!

You gotta find the happy medium between a pussy J-boy and a stinky oyaji.

I agree.

Isn't this pretty much a common, international, near universal view of males held by mid 30's and older males?....these kids today, with their rock and roll and hula hoops....HEY YOU KIDS, GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!:p

Yeah, but generally, young guys are (were) more obsessed with undressing rather than outdressing their female counterparts. Being gay isn't nearly as creepy as this - these totally sexless guys seem to have been victims of chemical castration.

Sheesh! I hope it doesn't spread...

Heh, are you really creeped out by teh gay, or was that just poor wording?

I do not really understand the driving force behind why heterosexual men would dress in what is normally considered fashion for females, but it probably does not have much to do with their sexuality and is simply a cultural phenomenon. Is this really any different than goth, garu, ganguro, punk or all the other superficial crap people adopt to seem different?

[Mike Oxlong]

Riiiiiight, the environmental estrogens have nothing to do with it.

[D chama]

-"This week, Mr Yamaguchi will launch his latest collection of skirts and lacy tops, some of them pink, and all aimed at men."

WTF??:confused:

I think someone may be pumping estrogen in the water around here.....

[Screwed-down Hairdo]

That's no so bad....At least they'd be pumping something.
Now, they don't even pump at all, even with their fists. Geez, they don't even pump their love dolls]cuddle them.[/URL]

Yeah, poor wording! - sorry about that.
Although it can be disconcerting that good-looking gay guys don't see us women as attractive, sexy, whatever, after all, we do have a lot in common, (boy-watching, etc.). But guys (or women, for that matter) who have no interest in any sex at all are like half-dead, aren't they?
And no, I don't think it's a fad - the primal procreation urge should be way stronger than the herd instinct, especially in young men.

Riiiiiight, the environmental estrogens have nothing to do with it.

Really! It HAS to be something in the food or water, that's fucking their testosterone levels up so badly. This J-male desexualization thing has been going for a while, too (ask any J-girl).

I think probably soy and soy protein is the main culprit - it's in almost every J-processed food now, from instant ramen to kamaboko to gyoza and shumai. And now it's in a lot of USA-processed food as well.

Perhaps it is all the edamame they eat..

Soybeans and Phytoestrogen - source Wikipedia

Men

Because of the phytoestrogen content, some studies have suggested that there is an inverse correlation between soybean ingestion and testosterone in men.[58] For this reason, they may protect against the development of prostate cancer.[59] A theoretical decrease in the risk of prostate cancer should, however, be weighed against the possible side-effects of decreased testosterone, which are still unclear. The popular fear that soybeans might cause reduced libido and even feminine characteristics in men has not been indicated by any study] Their interplay is very complicated and largely still unknown.[60]

A study published in April 2008 concluded that soy food intake has an inverse association with sperm concentration in fertility-deficient men. The same study found that soy intake does not affect sperm motility, morphology, or ejaculate volume.[61]

I am supposing they're pretty much everywhere in an industrial society...

More than 60 substances, including dioxin, DDT, PCB and solvents have been identified as environmental estrogens or endocrine disruptors as they are also known. They have been produced by industrial, agricultural, and chemical companies and introduced into the environment in the last 70 years. They are everywhere.

Shockingly, these hormone mimics can come from the food you eat and the personal care products that you use on your body. Common sources of these xenoestrogens are commercially raised beef, chicken and pork due to the hormones often given to the animals to produce rapid growth. They are also used to increase milk production in dairy cows.

They are in the pesticides sprayed on your non organic fruit and vegetables, in the plastic containers that are used for food and drinks including styrofoam, in household detergents and cleaners, artificial scents such as air fresheners, garden herbicides and pesticides, and paints and solvents.

Earlier this year researchers in warned that 2 food additives they studied are estrogenic and could alter hormones. Propyl gallate, is a preservative used to prevent fats and oils from spoiling is used in a range of foods including baked goods, shortening, dried meats, candy, fresh pork sausage, mayonnaise and dried milk. A second additive, 4-hexyl resorcinol, is
used to prevent shrimp, lobsters, and other shellfish from discoloring.

They are commonly found in cosmetics, nail polish and remover, glues, paints, varnishes, and other types of finishes, carpets, fiberboard, and other processed woods.

Researchers in Germany found traces of an unknown estrogenic substance leaching into mineral water stored in PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles, a commonly used plastic for storing foods and beverages.

There may be only minute amounts in each of these sources but they add up over time as they accumulate in your body as they are stored in the fat layers or the fatty acid membranes of your cells.

Reading that is scary....makes you wonder how the obesity epidemic could ever break out....

...still, on the other hand, if this keeps up it's good to know that there's still some hope of me of getting that soprano gig I missed out on because my voice broke.

[Mike Oxlong]

The obesity epidemic is acutally quite easy to explain. The food pyramid that purportedly teaches Americans how to eat properly is a sales tool to push argricultural products, and is a recipe to get fat, not stay healthy. Carbs from grains and starches are broken down into sugars in the body, and stored as fat, as the blood sugar level and insulin spike. Yet, you get hungry quickly, and crave more soon. The cycle continues, insulin resistance develops, and you're a fat slob.

A highly recommended documentary for those interested in the obesity issue:
