My main demon is similar to number 1, the processor cycle stealing demon. I was going to say that I’ve also got a toilet paper eating demon and a liquid soap drinking demon but I realised that’s not a very nice way to talk about my wife. Read the rest of this entry »
To most (I hope…) Western men Ladies First and other chivalrous acts come as second nature, but in Japan what we take for granted is unusual or indeed embarassing behaviour for women to experience. This problematic chivalry was the subject of a recent survey by goo Ranking.

I’m not sure of the correct etiquette for retrieving a soggy hankie – perhaps one should offer to wash it, but in the modern world I don’t think that would be acceptable. Number two is a strange one – accompanying text suggested that the blowing noise (as opposed to the slurping noise?) would be unacceptable, but blowing on your food is a no-no. However, again I’m not sure of the correct action in that circumstances. Read the rest of this entry »

Not being an otaku (basically a geek or nerd) myself (honest!) I cannot really comment on this, but I can quite imagine that comic and animation freaks would get quite hot under the collar when they see people breaking the otaku code. Having said “otaku code”, I decided to search YouTube for the phrase, and this is what turned up:

What would impress me most would be people putting their phones away.
I haven’t a clue what number 20 is supposed to mean, and I would guess that the people answering didn’t know either. Thinking of answer number 1, I really should convert my own diagnostic sites, brainscanner and My Buddhist Name, into apps! Read the rest of this entry »

Looking at Google for a suitable image to illustrate number one, I did notice that the chin-grabbing kiss does seem to be the most popular move out there! Read the rest of this entry »

I suppose I could only manage numbers 3, 6 and 23, and since getting married only number 2 has improved…
I’d also rate number 26 as a minus, not a plus, and it’s interesting to note that what men rated as 21, women placed it higher at 13. Read the rest of this entry »

I haven’t the slightest idea what number seven is all about! I couldn’t really make sense of the Japanese; it must be some strange ritual?
For me, it would have been singing ditties by The Smiths all day.

For me, it has to be women with a quirky character, specifically an air of shrewdness, a combination of 21, the second 26 and 28, and number 2 is the icing on the cake. Wifey only manages 21, and 2 of course, but she doesn’t fall into the alluring but plain category, so I’ll forgive her! Read the rest of this entry »
