Wait, I'd have to pay $100, but a woman could get in for free?

Maybe they figure there wouldn't be enough women if they charged them? I curious what exactly "sympathetic to otaku" means? I don't think I'd be too happy if I was paired with a woman who was there because she felt sorry for me in some way. |

Sympathetic people who understand and accept the quirks of otaku (as opposed to having pity for otaku). |

Also, what's with the age range?
Men 18-40 Women 18-35 This whole thing is just weird. |

I guess I'd consider that part of the "tolerant of otaku" group, but whatever. Last edited by Greed1914 on Thu Oct 14, 2010 12:38 am; edited 1 time in total |

...Is it weird that I'd want to go?
Maybe it's just my warped mind set that'd love to date a hard core anime otaku... |

I wonder how many otaku will be disappointed to find out that the women there will be 18 at the youngest.

Yeah, that's the first thing that got me, but doesn't surprise me. Japanese men are still pretty shallow about the looks. |

Just because the shrine is based off Lucky Star makes me wanna go. But i'm paying 100 bucks to hook up with another Otaku.
*What am I saying?!* |

From what I can tell, it's extremely common, and almost expected, for women to marry older men in Japan, or at least it used to be? But I'm guessing that men also just don't want to date 40 year-old women. Heck the 'Christmas Cake' by 25 years old came from Japan as well, so I'm surprised the age for women made it up to 35. |

Can it get any more embarrassing living in this town? Just imagine your neighborhood being turned into some otaku tourist trap
 it's not even the GOOD kind of otaku, it's the creepy moetaku.

I've never been to a club, though I was fully aware of that, but still, it's not a 100 dollar difference. |
