    Martin;

    I'm only half qualified to respond to your question, not being Japanese, but it seems to me that the main issue is why any of us agree to burden ourselves with any of you, regardless of nationality or phallus to palm ratio.

    Your nasty bathroom habits, your hair in weird places, your noises, odors and bodily emissions, your unreasonably large laundry items...why do we choose to bind ourselves, physically emotionally and financially, at least until we can afford a good divorce lawyer?

    And from this union we can expect to gain some alien that takes over our bodies for nearly ten months, then screams to have its needs met, not unlike yourselves, about whom you will grunt like neaderthals if it be male, over whom you make spineless toadying idiots of yourselves if it be female, to whom we will be enslaved for the next twenty or thirty years, assuming we live that long.

    And I'm one of the happy ones.

    Granting that attraction is a biochemical reaction designed to ensure the survival of the species, I still contend that love is a verb.

    And should I ever find myself in the marriage market again, I will certainly cast my gaze in the direction of a certain overly elvated obnoxious sullen mime with a pathological fear of relationship.

    xox, C.

        Dear Martin,

        I know it is hard for you to lead the life you do ... alone, silent, ten feet in the air. In and of itself, your life is infinitely more difficult and I feel you deserve more from me than just a flippant response.

        It is important for you to remember that as my lovely Asian wife, Kumi, grows older it becomes harder for her to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as she did when she was younger. When I first noticed this, I tried not to yell.

        Let me relate to you how to best handle this situation.

        When I quit street performing and took an early retirement, it became necessary for her to become a full-time flight attendant. Simply put, we needed the extra income and health insurance benefits. She was already a trained flight attendant when we met 15 years ago and because of her perfect attendance record, they eagerly hired her full time.

        It was shortly after she started working longer hours and flying erratic schedules that I noticed that she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from the bar about the same time she gets home from the airport. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says that she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner. I try not to yell at her when this happens. Instead, I tell her to take her time. I understand that she is not as young as she used to be. I just tell her to wake me when she finally does get supper on the table.

        She used to wash and dry the dishes as soon as we finished eating. It is now not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours. I do what I can by reminding her several times each evening that they aren't cleaning themselves. I know she appreciates this, and it seems to give her some incentive to get them done before she goes to bed.

        Several years ago, when our washer and dryer broke down, I thought we could save some money if she simply carried everything to the nearby laundromat. Well, she used to be able to sling that bag over her shoulder and walk those 6 or 7 blocks without even a huff or a puff. Now that she is older she seems to get tired so much more quickly. Sometimes she says she just can't make another trip. I don't make a big issue of this. As long as she had eveything dried and folded by the next evening I am willing to overlook it.

        Not only that, but unless I need something ironed to wear to Thursday night’s juggling get together or to Wednesday night poker or to the strip club on the weekends, then I tell her to go ahead and wait to do the ironing. This gives her a little more time to do some of those odds and ends around the house like vacuuming, dusting or waxing the car.

        Also, if I score some particularly nice bud, it allows her to remove the stems and seeds at a more leisurely pace. Sometimes she complains a little, but not often, mind you, but just enough for me to notice.

        For example, she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her breaks on the plane. In spite of her complaining, I continue to try to offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three trips. That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing a food break completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any, if you know what I mean.

        Even the simplest jobs seem to require more rest periods than before.

        A couple of weeks ago she said she had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I overlook comments like these because I realize it's just age talking. In fact, I try to not embarrass her when she needs the little extra time. I tell her to fix herself a nice cup of green tea and just sit for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well go get me a beer and take her break by the hammock so she can swing me gently until I fall asleep.

        I could go on and on, but I think you know where I'm coming from. I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Kumi on a daily basis!

        I'm not saying that the ability to show this much consideration is
        easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some might find it impossible. No one knows better than I do how frustrating women can become as they get older.

        My purpose in writing this is simply to suggest that you make the effort.I realize that achieving the exemplary level of showing consideration I have attained is out of reach for the average man. However, even if you just yell at your diminutive Asian mate a little less often, I will consider it was all a worthwhile venture.

          Those asians are so damn subtle. You probably have no idea how henpecked you are . Sure you get your meals and housework and financial security from a woman who lives in a land of lumbering giants when she's not pandering to cellulite with a brainstem at 40 000 ft, but if you ask her to merely spend a few days installing mirrors throughout the house I do think you'll find SHE"S PULLING FACES BEHIND YOUR BACK.

            Martin, I'll take a stab at this one.....
            I believe Japanese women
            -age much more slowly,
            -get some of their self definition from doing work for a man for free.
            -generally have a much higher proportion of great asses than any other country Ive been to (except Holland)

            -are generally a pre-feminist breed.

            -are socialized to see white men as movie stars.

            These qualities make Japanese women rather amazing wives for old-fashioned men, or any man who wants to live with his mom again and also nail her. Raise your hands, all of you.

            They want to get the hell out of here, and we wanna take em home.

                A case could be made that Japan produces superior cars and wives.
