After everything else Japan has produced, you'd think nothing could surprise (for the record, they have the opposite, where a bunch of dudes will treat a woman like a princess. Literally. They'll actully say stuff like "What does my Princess desire?" Just in Japanese). |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4160 Joined: 6 Sep 2008   | Maid Cafe's/Hostess bars are completly innocent and really, a ripoff for the pervert. It's not like these women are prostitutes- your not allowed to touch them or be vulgur. You PAY just so they pretend to be interested in you for a night. Just like a real date. |

But more aware. I don't think I would ever pay a Japanese girl to dress up like a maid and play games with me as tempting as it sounds. It's like: 'Buy A Friend'. Friends aren't bought... they're earned (saying through teary eyes with a clutched fist). |
