Ultradude, as long as the man is rich enough, many women don't care what he looks like.

I went to the US last year and found the women there to be very attractive.
However, on my English teacher salary I'd be well pushed to keep one of them in Coke and Big Macs full-time. Sometimes basic economics rule and you just have to go with the flow.

Oh my God! They're going to work every day and trying to make money? The shock! Myself, I'm only working for the good of mankind and the betterment of my fellow man (and woman). And the social insurance coverage, of course.

Strangely, in 8 years in Japan I've never once heard politics mentioned in the office I work in. You wouldn't know it existed.
