Some kind of genetic flaw, I'd guess.

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 ...

Hmm, this type of conversation sounds vaguely familiar...

[Grumpy Gramps]

Yeah, I know this stuff too, but then wifey is just a little ky at times, just like me

Apart from that, Aren't we all guilty of this? We say "good morning" but give a rodent's behind on what their mornings look like. White lies...

Female chauvinism with a healthy dose of delusional hubris. For the record, it's not that we men can't do it too it's simply that we can't be bothered. We're too busy not gving a shiite

Next topic.......................

1. I've never done this before.
2. I'm not that kind of girl.
3. Just this once.
4. He's just a friend
etc...

[kurogane]

Ooooh, very good.

5. I don't care how much you make
6. I don't care what kind of car you drive

You mean gays say that shiite too, or that there are men that date women that actually do care how much a woman makes and what kind of car she drives?

Gay is a gender !?

Yea, I'm thriving for acceptance, you know me well...

Not my fault if you guys are from third world shithole where wimin are silent, illiterate and stuck in the kitchin... In actual modern countries with egality of them sexes dem wimin got rich enough a plenty to allow for the emergence of gold diggers from both genders...

That is refreshingly emasculated. Bravo, mon petite herbivore.

I should learn to enjoy cloud watching....................and gold digging...............

[Samurai_Jerk]

I can't think of a reason to get married other than money.

[kurogane]

I'm can dig that sentiment, especially if you're once bitten, but it isn't quite the same in MYHOMO. Besides, you're not lying when you say that.

OTOH, I am seriously thinking that mendacity is the only fruitful route to root. The chicks within my age range I am meeting are shocking in their expectations, and they aren't bringing quite enough to the table to make me want to bother. Or to put it another way, far too many of them bring far too much of themselves to the table and spend far too much time at it eating far more than they should. But there is a ton of guys so desperate and emasculated they should do alright. Which is nice for them. I find it strangely edifying what a lot of very attractive men are willing to settle for. If only I weren't so shallow.

I'm about 40 and don't want kids. Settle down with someone? Sure. Get married if there's no financial incentive? ....

I don't exactly understand your logic here.

And don't exactly care enough to try...

Can we start with just a finger? I'm not sure I'm ready for a whole fist.

It's so lacking in any identifiable notion of proper masculinity it's quite refreshing and enjoyable. Not that I care to try it. But I have lots of FG friends that married richer Jpn girls and most are happy if frightfully lacking in testicular fortitude, except for the usual eternal adolescent variety of drinking and cheating and acting like a Perma-newbie English teacher. Which they are anyways.............

PS I mean intentional gold digging sackless men, not men that happen to marry women that happen to make more than they do. That's cool and edifying, but it isn't a girly man maneuver like gold digging is.

I used to think like that, then my now wife said I want to get married have kids and buy a house and I said "yeah OK" without thinking it through. I am now typing this while being attacked by a lego alligator.

The question you need to ask yourself is what are you going to do when you are old.

JT... Reading material for when you are stuck waiting on the loo...

where do you think i was when i found it?

[Grumpy Gramps]

Visa: I never wanted to marry either. But then immigration said, I'd have to marry her or she would be deported...

30 years on, I am still fine, though.

[Wage Slave]

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.

OK, ruin my day. What is a good estimate for the cost of a first degree at a public university?
