    Dear Sally Struthers: I'm looking into adopting a young woman from Tokyo who is being denied a rich foreign banker. For just thousands a day I can ensure that my young woman has the ready cash for highlights, manicures and a bikini wax. My thousands will provide a luxury hotel suite, the finest champagne, and a steady stream of designer jewelry and clothing to this disadvantaged young woman. Please, won't you help, too?

    If you have a Rolex does it mean that you will get to have sex with her right leg?

    I always love reading an article which helps to perpetuate the stereotype of women being whiny gold diggers and then men who hate/love them. it is like the BS on every prime time show where some female characters declares how since she was a little girl, she dreamed of getting married. Personally, I would like to kick all these people in the ass. Thin the herd my friends.

    This story actually made me feel kinda sad for everyone involved: the women who must on some level feel they don't have any real options for independence, and the men who must on some level feel pretty alienated by their lives (seems to me living abroad ought to be a fulfilling experience, not a soulless routine of overwork and picking up gold-diggers at boring bars).

    Poor things, they're suffering must be so huge right now. They need a support group, "Women who have lost their boytoys: and how to cope with boytoys lost bonus."

    Oh god the expat scene in Japan is just rife with all these sleazy Americans and their sleezy gold digging hanger-ons. It is very disturbing.


    And, what? Japan has been in a shitty recession for more than a decade now! I guess it took a global financial crisis to wean some off their brand-name fetishes. This is like Real Housewives of Roppongi.

    The desire to be a kept woman when you have other options is mystifying to me. An insecure guy who goes into investment banking to buy pussy instead of relying on his personality, looks, wit is something I can wrap my head around a little easier.


    I currently have the hots for a bike mechanic and a special ed high school teacher so this really isn't my area of expertise.

    @veej: No offense to any investment bankers, I'm sure jezebankers are awesome, but I've found that people who go into investment banking are kind of lacking in the wits and personality department.

    Yeah, you gotta watch out for those polyester-wearing IT guys. We cotton-wearing IT guys are much better and our jobs are usually better-paying.

    Not my Bulgari earrings! Not my Sretsis dress! The Hindenburg is destroyed! Oh, the humanity of it all!


    I guess from now on they have to wait for the Nordstrom semi annual sale like the rest of us.

    @BabyJane: I think we could do enough for some knock-offs, but "these chicks are smart" so I think they'd know. It's heartbreaking, isn't it? To be able to identify the problem, yet offer not real solutions. It will haunt me...

    Fight the export of gold digging!!! NAFTA sent gold diggers south of the border and now it's getting outsourced to Asia. What's next? Will I go to a bar at a conference and have an obviously Indian woman who tells me she's "Barbara from Omaha" say that she's only in town for a little bit and that she's looking for someone to show her the city?

    @British Benzene, asleep at the wheel: I'd love to hear what Thomas Friedman has to say about this one.


    The Lexxus and the Gold-Plated Olive Branch perhaps?

    So you mean that these girls might actually be forced to.. (gasp!) date men for their looks and personality? And they'll have to stop thinking of their boyfriends as giant wallets on legs?
