hello (:

ytd, my friend who just turned 20 told me: i think im a grass eater like those Japan guys :X or something along that line.. you probably think: what a way to start a convo, haha but yes thats what happens if youre friends with people who are equally as random as you.

anyways the 1st thing that came into my mind was: JX you're not a vegetarian. but apparently its not that, so since i cant find the article JX sent me, im quoting an article i found in Google.

Grass-eating boys aren’t big spenders and they don’t take flashy vacations. They are close to their mothers, prefer platonic relationships with female friends, are attentive to their appearance and have fewer career ambitions

Reports chart men’s spending on cosmetics and hair products and bemoan the symbolic castration that young men so eagerly embrace. Toilet-maker Matsushita Electric Works announced that more than 40 per cent of men in Japan sit on the toilet while urinating. WishRoom—a Tokyo company—has started selling men’s bras.

anyways #1 i am forever impressed by the fact that JX always seems to find interesting articles and videos and whatnots :D

and #2 hahahahaha. like Tropic Thunder said never go full retard. so i dont think hes there; full soushoku dansi. i mean if you look at this article there are actually terms to the statements in the article which i'll explain.

(a)aren’t big spenders: spend thrifts *which Ayah says i am* or cheapskates or plain broke

(b)close to their mothers: mommy's boy

(c)prefer platonic relationships with female friends: cos either the girls are dating or the girls are not interested in guys *you know what i mean* or hes not ready to be rejected by the girl yet or you know at 20, i think the single ladies think this too, guys cant afford FLASHY VACATIONS OR EXPENSIVE RESTAURANTS for us, its better for platonic relationships, wait until he's a bit older when he can splurge on us (: and from what i've seen some couples just make us gag, take for example: one person wants out of the r/s, and the other person turns into mush and says NONONO we can work this out aka Person Desperate to Make it Work! or the guy is interested in guys, he just doesnt know it yet. period.

(d) fewer career ambitions: hopeless

(e) spending on cosmetics and hair products : metrosexual, no? or gay. or a drag queen. or has really bad acne o his face + messed up hair!! or maybe just theyre celebs who cant bother to take their makeup off *even as a girl removing makeup is a chore*

(f) more than 40 per cent of men in Japan sit on the toilet while urinating: ok imagine: a unisex toilet. take for example: AEROPLANE TOILETS. pity the lady, dude! its like girls who dont flush after they pee kinda unhygenic.

(g) started selling men’s bras: support fer moobs. though i think this is pretty disturbing out of all the rest..

so you see, there's nothing to worry about. yet. lawl though i would like to add, to statement (c), its more fun to have a guy friend who has platonic girl friends *its not like as if he doesnt have guy friends too*.

at least he'll msn you some video about girls who looks really plain and not really pretty after they take out their many inches of makeup and make you feel that at least youre not that un-pretty after all HAHAHAH! and also you'll be happy to know that your eye size is STILL MUCH MUCH MORE bigger than she who wears those makes your iris look bigger contact lens (:

nuff said.
another day, another time (:
