Kwaabish: I'm pretty sure John Candy is a Canuck. Anyway, he wouldn't have been as funny if he had been slim. Very disappointed that he died though.

It seems that young women are growing up much faster these days. Isn't the onset of first menses about 1-2 years sooner than, say, 30-40 years ago? It's still a shocking crime, but not as shocking as it used to be, I'd say.

Another reason why Japanese women are crazy about foreigners.
Probably she needed the foreplay initially. After they trust you, they don't mind being "taken". I wouldn't do that regularly. They still prefer the long slow foreplay, but the quickie can be exciting, too.

Just curious, but are you under or over 30? Wait until you hit 40 and your metabolism slows down. You'll swear nothing has changed, except you can't fit in your clothes suddenly.

They wait too long to execute. In China, it's 10 minutes and then a bullet to the head. A couple of appeals and 3-4 years to think about it is enough, isn't it?

Forget to mention: the Sienta price was 1,681,000 yen versus about 2,100,000 for the Freed.
I think it's because Freed is "new" (Sienta has been around since 2003, I think) and you know how much that means to some people.

My calculations show about 40 mpg.
I checked out the car. It has no spare tire, but comes with a spray can which inflates the tire. Good idea.
I also checked out the Sienta. It gets 18 km/liter. The rear seats go under the middle seats. In the Freed, the rear seats fold up so they're still kind of in the way.
I didn't like the Sienta looks so much at first, but I'm trying due to its fuel economy advantage.
Which car is better looking: the Sienta or the Freed?

The rich will figure out a way around any tax increase. Meanwhile, how many jobs will be lost by tax-and-spend liberals? Let's hear it from the angry left.

Me too. I was the guy running away. I saw the cops racing to the scene. I thought for sure they were going to catch me, but they just waved back.

My take is that if fuel prices rise, the fuel tax would rise. No sh##!

I keep cats away by sprinkling my own urine around my house. This was actually recommended by Men's Health magazine. It really works. No more cats digging up the garden.
Put the urine in a bottle in the privacy of your bathroom.

I think it's the fact that the women-only cars are even necessary which is the disgrace and shame that rjd jr is referring to.

Foreign men coming to Japan don't seek foreign women. Foreign men can't get foreign women in their own country, so they come to Japan. Simple as that. >
Wrong.
Beware simple answers.

I was a teacher in a remote area of Japan and had two female co-workers. I used to watch movies with one of them. One night we were walking home (we had to watch the movies at the school where we worked) and she announced that the moon was full and she wanted to "get laid." I was young and ignorant and suggested she ask a few of the male students at our school. It never occurred to me that she might be interested in rolling around with me as I am one of those guys who left the U.S. due to infrequent sexual relations. Anyway, this is one aspect of the problem - - some of us are so used to getting turned down in the past that we've completely given up on the girls who come to Japan from our home country. Has this already been mentioned? By the way, I did end up granting that girl her wish after her sobetsukai.

I think this is partially true, but now that some of these young men have gained some experience, should they return home, I think they would be much more successful with those attractive women you mentioned.
I hadn't thought about this much, but from the dozen or so Japanese women I've dated, they seem to have never experienced foreplay before. Good luck communicating that desire to your JBF who probably speaks stammering Tarzanese.
Personally, I've had a crush on only one foreign girl in the past ten years - Maria - a mixed Spanish-Brit. She was too fantastic for words. Overall, though, the Japanese girls are too good to be true.
One nice advantage of marrying a Japanese is the ease of finding housing and securing a home loan - via her papa. I mean, for those who love Japan, why not date or marry a native just so we can enjoy the culture that much more.
