Yellow fever and Western Dreams

Friday, Metropolis day. I read it while I was having a yummy dish of brown rice, autumn steamed veggies and tofu mini burgers at the pantry. Always thought that Natural Lawson is the best convenience store, where else do you get organic bento and natural cosmetics?

Anyway, last part of the magazine, personal classifieds: a naughty laugh on how the East meets the West.

Men for Women

The sneaky male:
Married gentleman, early 40s, white, slim, attractive and polite, in Tokyo, seeks Japanese married or attached lady for sensual friendship and staying warm. Secret.

The rethoric guru:
Am I crazy? Maybe I am because I am looking for a serious relationship and no games! Is it possible? Maybe we can try... and see what happens.

The desperate male (not for love though):
I love Japan. I want to stay. You: SJF, 20s, cute and smart, looking for a SWM for marriage. I work hard, and will love you deeply.

The modest male looking for a modest lady:

The guy that thinks he is a girl:

Daddyo:

There's really no need to consider too many classifieds in the section 'Women for Men'. This one sums them all up with few exceptions:

The undemanding, easy to please lady:
