In a nutshell, no matter how good a christmas cake is, no one will eat it after december 25th. In the same way no matter how desirabe a woman may look or act, no one wants her if she's older than 25.
At least so the stereotype goes.
Yes the japanese cut-off for old maid is apparently 25 years old.
France had the same "tradition" incidentally (Catherinettes, 25-year-old single women), but it's gone the way of the dodo mostly... as a tradition anyway.
Is this what happened when people stopped being Mecha fans? I keep hearing about this stuff and it all seems so bizarre. I mean, I know relationships are often shallow and depressing, but these pillows and mouse pad seem like overkill. There's an anime con coming to my college in April and I've been considering cosplaying as fucking Doomguy with a custom Duke Nukem pillow just to sort of invert the complete insanity of it all, but I feel like maybe no one will even get the joke.
Jon St. John is going to be there, so maybe he'd get it.
Why is it called the Vic Viper/Warp Rattler? Because the Options trail behind it in a serpent-like fashion, and the iconic front fins are designed to invoke the image of a snake's fangs.

DO IT!
Although Doom Guy is 19 years old now (1993), and Duke is 21 (1991). For extra wrongness, maybe pair him up with someone underage. Master Chief is still a preteen.

That's kind of strange, or maybe I'm just strange. I actually find young girls quite unattractive lol, but I think it's the immaturity in them that probably influences that.
My problem is that I just can't seem to find anyone worthwhile to date. I've met so many physically attractive young people that are entirely self-centered and have no morals, ambition, or intelligence to speak of.
I became quite depressed to learn that several of the "high school graduates" at my work do not even understand basic division (this in a retail scenario where they are responsible for handling money!) They were stunned when I used basic math skills to determine the best price per ounce on soda from our current sales. I'm getting depressed again just thinking about this.

In the end it doesn't matter since they barely have time to spend the money. And most of them will eventually suffer from liver failure..
The host/hostess industry does have some high paid people, but $600k USD a year sounds a bit much. Even if that was true which I suppose it could be for some (a bit over $1000 USD per day, maybe $1500 a shift?), there is a legion of bottom feeders that barely make $10 per hour.
And, they won't suffer liver failure at all if they know how to do the job. It's just like when you buy "drinks" for a stripper. They are usually water down, if not simply tea, to give the illusion.
