What's with the essay? I don't know what Yanagisawa's wife looks like but if she resembles anything of Ono's, then I'm sure they can be doing better. As a matter of fact, we could all be doing better. And if you don't think so, then I'd recommend a dermatologist, a plastic surgeon, a monthly subsrciption to a style/fashion magazine, and a pair of balls so you can use them, lol.
hehe, my apologies but that wasn't the point ( it sounded so much better in norwegian when we discussed it at a norwegian board^^). japanese girls SHOULD date whoever they want, and they certainly do that too. I was ranting on about my observations on some local otakus and their views on things ( which i find pretty horrid to say the least).
of course, we could all do better we could all find ourself a prettier, sexier, cuter gf/wife. and, if we want, we can look better too. some hours in the gym, a new haircut or some new fashion clothes can do wonders with everyone but why always search for "better"? Im perfectly happy with what I've got ( in fact I don't think I can find better ) and don't need anything else.
