A Third of the Gear On Board

[HENRY JONES JR.]

Whoops, served me for not look through the rest of the thread. Answered a post from the previous page that made no sense without a quote. Anyway, um, great thread. Love looking at hats and stuff from other members!

I took some more shots. I'll post 'em when I can Jeff! P.S. My camera Still sucks. lol

See, I took this picture today, and it doesn't look right. Perhaps it's the lense or something. Believe me, It looks right, just not in pictures with my crappy camera.

Is this the same hat as you have in your avatar? I can see what you mean about it not looking right. The top part almost looks slanted back or something. Perhaps it was the angle of the shot?

Nope, the one in the avatar is the smaller size hat that I shaped myself (with the hat stretcher to make it bigger). The other photo is of the factory HJ hat. It's perfectly shaped, but my G D camera makes it look weird, and it just doesn't look right.

I'll post more photos of my hat when I can (I took them already, just need to post it). Hopefully, the new photos will look better, as I'm wearing it.....I hope it looks better...

Yeah, a long term relationship is always possible if you're a decent person, fluent in Japanese, willing to bend some in regards to where you both live, and have no issue with the other cultural issues that come with "settling down" in Japan...

If you're relatively handsome, it's easier for sure...Obese men or those who don't take as much care of their clothing or body/face stand a lower chance of course, but in general I'd say yes...You have the "interesting" thing from the start, so that's already something that'll stand you in good stead..It'd just be up to you as a person to make it better or blow it I suspect?

Being wealthy (anywhere) tends to rule out the need to be in top shape or be attractive physically as much...So that's something separate I reckon....If you have the combo of wealth, decent condition, and interesting and a decent personality, yes, it'd be "easy" to find someone good to settle down with here I should think...

Basically...

That rule seems to fit just about anywhere I'm guessing. lol

Yup..Mostly it does...But women are women worldwide...Men are men.....A woman being Japanese means you have the "interest" factor as a Westener to her perhaps....Outside of that? Yeah....Women are women...No real change there at all....

I can't remember where I saw it, but I seem to remember a you tube video that interviewed asian women in the U.S., and they overwhelmingly said they prefer to date white men over asian men. I was amazed by their answers as to why. I'll bet the video is still on there!

take very good care if those hats, and post more pics of your Hero Hat.

Well, here is another attempt. This time in the mirror. Most photos are reversed due to the mirror. I flipped one photo, but not the rest. I have streaks on the glass, so it looks like it's on the hat. It's not. I guess it turned out better than the previous attempts. Not great, but better I suppose.

Hahaha...All those girls were American Asian......Hehe....

The same thing probably does apply here..But there's not quite the focus there is in that video..

I'd certainly agree that the "cool" men here in Japan are closer to "female" shape and styling...More feminine for sure...I can see that....The height thing perhaps? Yes...... I wouldn't say there's a "class" thing though....

And yes, Japanese are in general far more shy, so there is that as well..

Since I'm a teacher..This video is (officially) "accurate" for high school girls here for sure...LOL
