Heh, do not worry, there's plenty of Rem to go around. She is best and deserves to be celebrated by all. Thanks for the welcome

I will be young at heart for quite a long time, I just appreciate production value and art, and anime provides that along with a good story; depending on the writer. I hope to get my kids into "good taste" as well.

I mean, I do get a little freaked out when they crawl somewhere I can't see. But I'm pretty alright with them if I can see them, as I think they're too cool to kill.

Didn't read every page but I gotta disagree with the sentiment of "you can't change it so mine as well go with it cuz ur a man etc." In this day and age with the demanding life of the modern day individual, it's simply not worth the effort for a man to randomly approach women in hopes of finding a partner. Far too many double standards and risks involved. I would have to agree with Neet on this. Western women have a much greater sense of entitlement. The amount of characteristics you have to fulfill to even be eligible for a single date is absurd with minimal effort from the female counterpart. And the whole "can't generalize blah blah blah" generalizations exist for a reason. Doesn't mean they involve direct causation but there is certainly a correlation. Foreign women may certainly still have a strong sense of entitlement but because of their cultural upbringing at least they may be more inclined to appreciate your efforts as a man, not all of course, but some. Men simply have far too much too lose, no other way to look at it. It's also ironic that women mention they want a confident man, yet they lack a large degree of confidence themselves. If you don't even have the guts to at least approach a guy you like to say high or are stubborn it shows that you don't value them enough. Standing around waiting for a partner to fall out of the sky isn't gonna happen, so i think women could at least put in a little more effort but that will be the day when pigs fly. The dating world is irrational with pretty much every odd against men. Just gotta find yourself someone who's not into petty games. Smiling or giving "the look" is not taking risks, women hardly take risks and that's a fact lol otherwise men wouldn't be desperately approaching left and right.
