Japanese hotel offers "crying rooms" for women.

"[T]hese special rooms at the Mitsui Garden Hotel Yotsuya in Tokyo are stocked with tissues, 'warm eye masks' and about a dozen sentimental movies, six of which are available in English and include Forrest Gump, The Intouchables, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, The Notebook, One Day and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape."

In case you would looking for an interesting insight DVD.; 6/2/15, 9:26 AM

SGT Ted said...: Proof that women have a need for negative emotional outbursts; "Drama", and will seek it out or even manufacture it to get their fix.

I think it is the root cause of the current campus fake rape cultural meme and, coupled with untreated mental illness, is what drives Mattress Girl and others like her.; 6/2/15, 9:39 AM

Kyzer SoSay said...: The wife agreed with me when I postulated that most women need at least an hours worth of "good crying" each month, and most men need at least a few hours worth of "anger/reckless" time each month. And it's all hormonal. She cries right before, or during, her menses. I usually am at my most reckless or chest-thumpy right around her fertile time. That's also when I get real cravings for spicy, dissolve your bowels type food.; 6/2/15, 12:11 PM
Kyzer SoSay said...: . . . and when she gets cravings for something else. Giggety.

Not involving her bowels though. I don't like breaking out the Lysol after sex, and butts are for pooping. Sorry Laslo.; 6/2/15, 12:17 PM

This is the first and great commandment of business, and the second is like unto it: "Be sure you get paid."; 6/2/15, 2:04 PM
