Damen's Walker

Wow! Look at this: very mysterious "Stunning pictures of animals in the womb".

an official site of the animation movie Paprika was completed. You can check the trailers here.

Is there any woman around you who has to date a** holes? In many cases, she is really smart and independent, almost perfect at her job. But in private, she is run by her a** hole boyfriend. Her life is unstable and troublesome because of him. She regrets having such a bad guy, but next time, she chooses the same type, just another stupid jerk, as if she had a keen nose for a** holes. Is it impossible to understand her? I can very well. Actually, I feel there are two types of women: ones who always trap good guys and ones who always traps bad guys. And it does not relate to her intelligence at all.

"Damen's walker" is a coined terms. dame・means bad and no good in Japanese, so it stands for "bad men walker." "Damen's walker" is the title of a manga written by Mayumi Kurata which is a series of stories based on women's real, sad, but funny experiences with a** holes. So many Damen's walkers read and sympathize masochistically with stories like Narcissist man, Domestic violence man, Dutch account man (share everything), Mother complex man, Dreaming man, Question man (ask why why why always), "On the scrounge" man, pimp man, dirty man, etc.

Anyway, this Autumn, "Damen's walker" was made into TV drama. Norika Fujiwara is a starring actress. Recently it became a big topic that she would marry the comedian Tomonori Jinnai. Not only her, many beautiful actresses choose comedians as their husbands: Yumi Adachi and her husband, Emiri Henmi and her husband, Misako Tanaka and her husband, Kazuko Kato and and her ex husband. Comedian guys are very popular and they are envied by other guys. Well, relationships are always difficult to understand.

"Well, relationships are always difficult to understand."
mm, yes, i couldn`t agree more :)... but i find the notion of "a^^hole" being very relative - someone can torture a woman but be "ruled" :) with no problems by another. It`s all, i guess, a matter of how much a woman trust herself and deal with her own problems... and yes, she can be perfect at her job, smart and beautiful, but the real "mirror" is the boyfriend & his attitude towards her...

handsome is also relative... but ugly is sometimes universal true :))

I prefer a funny guy than a handsome guy. Funny guys are more mature actually, and they are more understanding. When someone looks for a life partner, one would look for a quality that last a long time. Looks will fade, fame will disappear with time and wealth can either bring good things or bad things as time passes you by. But the things you possess internally will only sharpen with time. Your mind, your principles, your sense of humour...

Therefore sense of humour I think is one of the coolest thing that a guy can possess. I'd rather marry a guy who can make me laugh then marry a guy who after 2-3 years of marriage makes me bored looking at his face!

Hi There
Marcel, you are right. They are charming and they are bring out women's motherly instinct. And Becca yesh it's true, girls can't leave them, want to do something for a** hole. This type of women is a kind of love addiction, I read. They want to a** hole because so that they can help him. They want to do something always to him.

I think some girls go after assholes because they think they can change them into being good boys. Otherwise...maybe the girls are masochistic?

Asshole-types of men have this irresistible charme, every girl likes that. I think it's natural.
