At least you know they won't eat all your rations.

And they make handy tent-poles in case of emergency!

this thread is turning out to be quite comical at the least

lol i second the comment above on the hilarity of this thread...

if i was a dude in japan...who gives a **** what women want..
(this is in no way derogatory..sure respect them, treat them properly..etc)

but when it comes to yourself, why are you changing yourself to conform to what someone else might like, most people have no idea what they want.

but back to me being in japan, i'd just get ripped, and get a tan, and be a fuckin leader and not a sheep..... you don't like me..... go **** yourself mentality

adopt it

The benefit is a movement that makes females more masculine will be gone. How many of you straight guys are attracted to testosterone infested women? Anyways you forgot the best part in your survival game, when you put your life in the hands of landwhales that "play men".

I hope they do have some stuff I can wear with my 68kg@184cm :). Or will I have to lose weight for my time in Tokyo?

Japanese clothes fit me well, a large over there is long enough and slim enough through the arms. American clothes (even slim fit) often fit like a tent or if they are slim enough they are not long enough.

Coming from another Asian, don't be a ***** and give up. Just because you Asian doesn't mean you can't gain muscle. Lift heavier weights and eat properly; less rice more meats or substitute protein powder.

Back on track, skinny Japanese men wearing women's clothing to work = the gayest thing I've ever heard of but apparently (I just discussed this article with my friends since I could hardly believe it) it is not abnormal for these skinny Japanese guys to dress up in women's clothing. I asked if it was more than 1%, which would be 2 people in a room of 50 and he said it was probably slightly more than that, probably 3-4 per 50 people.

But you wouldn't be able to wear Dior Homme as it was intended to be worn.

Yeah, distance bikers are built like rock climbers, they're really fit thin guys, tightly wound muscle.

That man is solid muscle from head to toe with incredible indurance to boot. I may be a little gay for Lance actually.
