always the same with the men

[ultimatekj]

ladys...how can it be that every nice man that try to practise kendo ...(or do it)
has a wife or a girlfriend?????
i cant understand it...its soooo depressing :S
really it isnt so that i m searching a man that practise kendo but it will make a lot of things easier....so how can it be that there is no one free that looks not like quasimodo or like my grandfather ...hellooo that is soo invidious :(

[Ignatz]

I look like Quasimodo's grandfather but I'm sure you look like Esmeralda.

[Badger]

I thought this was going to be about the cut: men... O_o

[ultimatekj]

I look like Quasimodo's grandfather but I'm sure you look like Esmeralda.

i m not a sinti ^^ but really didnt look as bad as you maybe think....just regular ...:S but didnt make it easier

[Inner_Silence]

is this what you signed up in the forum for??????

[Badger]

is this what you signed up in the forum for??????

It is still Kendo related

[hobbit]

I've currently got a vacancy for a mistress . . .:laugh:

[Lloromannic]

I don't have a girlfriend!

[Luke]

as am i.......

but germany is a long way away. you could try moving :evil:

seriously, try a dating service there are plenty of potential stal....um suitors that might be up your ally.

if not then a bondage sight, if you can't get on to date get one to to keep in the basement.

[ne0r]

Haha, come to Nuernberg, we have some nice fellows here^^

But you could of course come for a practise, too.

[Raindrop]

Well that's what good men are: tied up. ;)

Can't have your men be all lose. You could get hurt!

thats a good one raindrop!!

well ultimatekj i used to think the same for the females in kendo too....

ahem...

(guess u've got quite a few PMs on this):ko:

[mingshi]

hmm we need a www.desperate-kendoka.com

[absenteekendoka]

Was looking for a gilr who was into Kendo a few years ago............hey and Im German too! LOL!

[Rularn]

hmm we need a www.desperate-kendoka.com (http://www.desperate-kendoka.com)

Umm... the link doesn't work. Can you give the addy again?

Lol... I know, it was fake. :confused2

[PlutoInLove]

Hahahah, I thought this was about the striking point, 'men,' as well before I read it.

Really, relax. The dojo isn't a singles' club. I think that if you let off a little bit, instead of trying so hard, just relax and let it happen... You'll be happier and boys are attracted to self-confidence more than almost anything else.

And who knows? You might meet the love of your life in the grocery store.

[Kiki]

Though this was about men strike... but was pleasetly surprized to see it's not. Tonight on the way home I was having a disucssion with my BF about internet dating. She's all for it - I am not so sure. I said "well maybe if there was a kendo singles site that would interest me." and low and behold....

So I don't practice kendo for meeting guys however I have meet a lot of nice people through this forum (clarify-just friends no dating). I don't think there is anything wrong with taking it a step further if there is an interest. I have a very nice pen pal realtionship with another KWF poster.:)
Hey German boys maybe you can do the same with Miss Ultimatekj.

IMHO: For all of you who judge dating kendo people as a bad thing, I disagree. My disclaimer is: Provided people are mature about things.

[sid]

"well maybe if there was a kendo singles site that would interest me."


a kendo singles site....sounds much better than desprate-kendoka anyways!!


Hmmm..come to think of it, I wud certainly prefer a girl who has an idea of kendo or a budo martial art or not have one at all...

most married/coupled people in kendo that i met had my-spouse-hates-it syndrome while heading for training...(i guess this topic needs a thread of it own) :laugh:

For some reason the best looking guys I see are always at the grocery store. I wouldn't mind that...

[ultimatekj]

ok ....maybe i have to explain something :)
i m really not so "despereted" and try to use this thread to get a kendo man...
its just so like going into a wood and there are no birds....i go to kendo and there are no free men....
just funny and i think about if it is just so in my dojo....or everywhere ^^
of course it makes my life easier when i have a kendoka but...neednt to be one :S
so dont understand me false :D

[ne0r]

Hm. That's a point. If you wanted, for example, to go to practise three times a week (I'm working on it^^) and your partner motivates you to go there to see him... That would be nice.

But on the other hand, Kendo reduces your libido, so going to practise is always a good idea xD (I mean if you do not have a partner...)

Sorry, the correct answer is...Girls are attracted to men with self-confidence, and men are attracted to any female that is still breathing.

By the way, girls(or women) that act too self-confident come off as bitchy, unattainable, or lesbian.

now just waiting for all the desperet single kendoka do beat a path to my door.......

[joekc6nlx]

Let's see: menstruation, menopause, mental sickness......see how women's problems all begin with "men"?

:ko:


It seems to me that all the nice looking girls in kendo are: 1) married or otherwise committed to a relationship 2) 'way-y-y-y too young for me 3) don't stay in kendo long enough to form a relationship.

Seriously, I don't look for romance in the dojo, I didn't start kendo to meet women, but rather, to improve myself. However, if that improvement leads to a relationship, then that's fine. I've seen a few people who met that way, they seem to be happy, so why not?

[satsumaruma]

If there are no available men for you have you considered women?

just a thought!

[PlutoInLove]

Does anyone else find it ironic "PlutoInLove" is giving advice on dojo / Grocery romance?:ditsy:

Ha ha ha. My name has just as much to do with the "Pluto" part as the "inLove" part. It has to do with mythology and astrology. I decided on the name while studying Pluto transits, when I was researching Plutonian/Hadean myths and came across the myth about a Babylonian goddess named Ereshkigal, who has a story that one can relate to the other... About being forced deeper and deeper into your own personal hell and darkness; the more you refuse to see the further down you go. Recognition and acceptance of your flaws and the errors in your path before you can be released. And all at that same time, I was experiencing the most profound love I'd felt in my (admittedly short) life-- trying to make that work while undergoing those most profound personal changes. ... and this is the shortest, most abbreviated response to this statement I could make! Then again, if I'd made it longer, maybe it'd make more sense. But this is about Kendo, not Pagan Philosophy! Don't get me started... seriously. I have a horrible, horrible inability to stop myself babbling once I get a good rhythm going. Like I said before, I bore even people who generally like me. :)

For some reason the best looking guys I see are always at the grocery store. I wouldn't mind that...

You ain't kidding! I'd do a lot more picking-up there, except that my flirtatious mood is almost instantly killed upon entering grocery stores. I friggety-fragging HATE grocery stores.

By the way, girls(or women) that act too self-confident come off as bitchy, unattainable, or lesbian.

Ahem. Guys are not attracted to a pulse. DESPERATE guys, as always, are another story.
There's a huge gulf between acting too self-confident, which is, by the way, NOT what I said, and being self-confident.
Pretending to be self-confident-- in fact, pretending to be anything you're not is inadvisable and immediately apparent to anyone with an iota of emotional intelligence. Being self-confident is extremely attractive (downright sexy) in BOTH sexes.
And, BY THE WAY, I may be new and I may not know anything about you, er... 'samurai80,' but you sure sound fairly young and even more inexperienced. Despite what you may have heard from stand-up comics, read on bathroom walls, or inferred from stereotypes, NOTHING about the statement "girls(or women) that act too self-confident come off as bitchy, unattainable, or lesbian" is automatically true. In fact, when it comes down to it, all of those labels (because that's what they are) are only placed by means of perspective. A self-confident woman should have no need to be catty or divaish, though one may be both self-confident AND ill-behaved. But a woman only becomes a 'bitch' once she's called one.
And what the hell, a self-confident woman can come off as 'unattainable'? This makes the least sense to me. I don't know if you've noticed, but-- it's the 21st century, and women are not solely defined by their status regarding a man. Their happiness, their confidence, their attitude, their behavior-- we are not the chattel we have been treated as for the past several thousand years. But again, if YOU think that a self-confident woman is unattainable, humph, then all the better for her; she won't have to deal with the emotionally-stunted knee-jerk misogynistic entreaties of by petty, insecure little you.
And this latter, that a self-confident women are all lesbians.... That's just so ridiculous I won't even bother responding. Of course homosexuals are plagued by the same problems with self-esteem that heterosexuals do. In fact, if I were to poll my gay friends (male and female), I'd wager that most would not at all describe themselves as 'self-confident,' and living in a society too-full of judgmental individuals like you is near the top of the list of reasons why.


It has occurred to me that, given the light-hearted nature of this thread, you might have been trying to be... funny. (God help us all if you actually thought you were going to be helpful in any way.) If this is the case, I don't apologize for what I said, but merely add that your sense of humor is awful. And neither do I apologize for reacting in a way so strongly-worded as this. You called ME out, you not only responded to what I had to say but quoted me by name specifically. I have every right to defend my opinions.
Hey, if you're a samurai after all, you can take it.

[Kiki]

another perspective: samurai80's comment made me laugh out loud...
:smiley:

[ne0r]

But I have to agree with one thing Samurai80 said:
"men are attracted to any female that is still breathing". Especially young men. I think what PlutoInLove said is right, that a man is highly probable to be attracted to a self-confident woman. But so he does if the woman is shy (as opposed to self-confident. I know, it doesn't fit exactly). I fear that a lot of young men are, in the end, very much attracted to women that just look very good.

By the way: I think that I don't know any women that are too self-confident. How do they usually act?

:laugh:reese witherspoon in legally blonde:laugh:

[samurai80]

Zzzzzzzzz...oh, Pluto...I was trying to read your post, but I fell asleep on the account of it being so boring.

Now let's take this one step at a time shall we? If the answer is no, too bad.

1. "Ahem. Guys are not attracted to a pulse. DESPERATE guys, as always, are another story." Wrong.(By the way, thanks for telling guys what we like) Guys are attracted to ass, and boobs. Sure, some guys will tell you they're attracted to intelligent, strong women. Know why? Because they are running game on a girl who thinks of herself as smart. Now take off those pants while we watch Lifetime and the History Channel.
2. "And, BY THE WAY, I may be new and I may not know anything about you, er... 'samurai80,' but you sure sound fairly young and even more inexperienced." Ummm, 27 is fairly young I guess, but Yulya attends my dojo, and can confirm I have no problems keeping a girlfriend. If I were inexperienced, I'd say crap like..."I love confident women. I want to marry them. I think I'll go to the grocery store to meet some."
3. "But a woman only becomes a 'bitch' once she's called one." They like to tell themselves that.
4. "And what the hell, a self-confident woman can come off as 'unattainable'?" Yep. The type I'm speaking of would be the ones who think they're so badass that you have to meet ridiculous criteria to even speak to them. Examples would be like, making a certain amount of money, driving a certain type of car, lifting enough weights, "Superman" chins, what sports team you play for.
5."she won't have to deal with the emotionally-stunted knee-jerk misogynistic entreaties of by petty, insecure little you." Are you trying to hit on me? You got me all turned on, baby. Now slap me!
6. "Of course homosexuals are plagued by the same problems with self-esteem that heterosexuals do. In fact, if I were to poll my gay friends (male and female), I'd wager that most would not at all describe themselves as 'self-confident,' and living in a society too-full of judgmental individuals like you is near the top of the list of reasons why." Oh my God, you know gay people?! That's so unique. You must automatically know what its like to be gay simply because you have gay friends. Tell me more about these magical gay creatures.
7. "You called ME out, you not only responded to what I had to say but quoted me by name specifically. I have every right to defend my opinions." I called you out? Wow, settle down little buddy. We talk junk to each other all the time on here. Most people get it, some people are just too "confident" to have a sense of humor. There are plenty of female kendoka on this forum that get along with me just fine, and we consider each other friends. They also seem to get my brand of comedy, but I guess you and the other Susan B. Anthony Club members were marching against penises and burning your bras, so you didn't have the time to develope senses of humor.
8. "Hey, if you're a samurai after all, you can take it." Nice attempt, but no points. Honestly you could have called me "poopy face" and I would have been more hurt.

P.S. Kiki, I'm glad you enjoyed the post.

[PlutoInLove]

Shucks, sorry I bored you. Are you told-off so much that your only response is ennui?
Great, you date a board member. If she's happy with you, more power to you both. But (obviously) I did not find your little comment amusing, and since it was my statement you were commenting on, damn right I'm gonna say so. I could have made a big banner that said, "I DON'T THINK WHAT YOU SAID WAS VERY FUNNY AND I HAVE SEVERAL REASONS WHY," and colored it in and everything, and then took a picture of it while standing in front of it, giving you the finger, uploaded it to my computer, found some webspace to host it on, and then posted on the board linking to my picture. But I was out of glitter paint and was too busy burning all of my underpants so I decided a snarky post would be better.
And I have a great sense of humor. I fell in love with my last boyfriend over a "Who Knows More 'Dead Baby' Jokes" contest (it was a couple of years ago, Dead Baby Jokes aren't so hip anymore, I admit. Which is kind of sad, few statements pack so much normalcy-alienating punch with such brevity as they do). I won.
I don't hate men, either. All of my friends are guys-- I'm more or less just like a brother to them. And it's from THEM that I get my ideas on what guys like. And it's from all of my fairy godfathers I had growing up at my mom's flower shop that I know what gay people are like. Take THAT. Poopy face.
And all I can say about what you said in number four, where you actually debated the point I was trying to make, is that it sure sounds like you've got some inferiority and/or rejection issues. Regardless, you still missed the point. Those women, while likely appearing confident, are probably deeply insecure and use those external markers of material success to make themselves feel better. The proper WORD then, for them, is self-involved.

Jeez. So that this doesn't continue. I'll just tell you what the point is. I'm not arguing with you as a person or as a man or as a kendoist. I'm arguing with your dumbass statement. This entire thing, for me at least, has been about SEMANTICS. I don't see there being anything more to say... but I've argued longer over even pettier wording squabbles than this.

Here, hang on. I'll make some popcorn. Do you take butter on your popcorn? Salt?

[ReKru]

ok ....maybe i have to explain something :)
i m really not so "despereted" and try to use this thread to get a kendo man...
its just so like going into a wood and there are no birds....i go to kendo and there are no free men....
just funny and i think about if it is just so in my dojo....or everywhere ^^
of course it makes my life easier when i have a kendoka but...neednt to be one :S
so dont understand me false :D

It's everywhere, of course. :p

Kendo guys -at least those who stick with it- are probably a lot better at dealing with long, painfull journeys that require a lot of work for little reward (and according to my great-grandmother - 75 years of marriage - the 'secret' to a lasting relationship is: hard work. Sounds familiar?) than your average disco gigolo.

So, kendo wives out there - you might hate our beloved hobby, but without it, we would most likely have dropped you YEARS ago, at the first sign of the relationship turning from all fun to mostly work (around the 1.5-2.5 year mark).

If you want one, you need to grab him right in the beginner's course. After that, doing Kendo will give him enough self esteem to get basically any chick he wants (my significant other's/bessere Haelfte favorite question: "Why the freck do you have so much self esteem" - answer is of course: "ignoring reality").
And once he got it, he'll probably stick with her for the rest of his life.

I don't hate men, either. All of my friends are guys-- I'm more or less just like a brother to them. And it's from THEM that I get my ideas on what guys like.

Aha .. there's the issue. :D :p

[samurai80]

I don't date Yulya, she knows my lady. As for the rest, I have no intention on having it out with you every time you post. If you were offended by my original post in this thread, a PM would've avoided the whole thing. I could've explained(without being a jerk) that there was no intention to "call you out", you made a post, and I quoted it. As for the comment itself, I thought everyone understood it was a joke. If it wasn't funny, ignoring it instead of a women's rights speech would have probably been more effective in shuting me up.

"Take THAT. Poopy face." See, there you go. Hitting on me again.

Theres beng a confident woman and theres also coming off as a bitch. Confidence is sexy , yes.....arrogance and bitchiness....not appealing. Really just awful. :) Not arguing, just making an opinion heard.

On to the orignal post topic...its hard to meet somewone whos interseted in Kendo...but theres a lot of people in other martial arts out there, and they at least get what we do.....sorta...LOL. But really, thats always another option ...if your looking for someone into Kendo....may be hard depending where you live...yet dont discount other arts as a platform for meeting someone.

Good luck all.

My woamns absolutely great about Kendo.....she wants me to tell her how class went...does basics with me......doesnt mind smelly bogu and hakama/gi hanging aroung......lets me oil my shinais in the living room....:) Before that my ex was a kickboxer ad she got the mindset of Kendo people........I was excited to hear about her training and she always had questions about what we did.

Please lighten up! Many topics on this forum are full of posts that may have nothing to do with the subject and are intended as jokes and lighthearted humor. That's what makes this forum an entertaining read! If you don't agree or don't find a joke funny, its not a reason to make enemies and conflicts, right? I am sure nobody intended to offend you or "call you out", so please don't feel that way.

Back on the original topic - it's true. Most good men ARE taken. Most men that do Kendo ARE good men. So most kendoka men = taken. As much as I would like to date another kendoka, I gave up before I started looking.
After all, Kendo is a budo, not a dating service.

think you are fighting a losing battle here. There are some people in life who take everything seriously and in some cases, too seriously. there are also those who, even though they acknowldege humour is being used decide to go on the offensive anyway just to be politically correct. Best thing to do is ignore them.

Does he wear a see-through hakama?

Or a really really short one?:)

[Anime12478]

I didn't realize that something like this is such a problem. I could see the benefits of having someone that does Kendo, namely the issues of the smell of the equipment along with the monetary and time expenditures in order to fully enjoy it. I do agree with absenteekendoka though. If I can't find a lady that does kendo, then the other alternative would be another martial art or at least something that requires a lot of dedication.

On that note, I will mention that I am totally single. Now that school is over, I should hopefully be able to put forth the dedication to find someone :).

[Winter516]

lol im sure theres some guys in my dojo that would be happy for some after hours tia-tare practice 0.o (sorry, but it had to be said)

As for Satsumaruma talking about a really short hakama, i just got a perfect image of a mini-skirt hakama, lol

So there's this guy. His name is Pablo Picasso. Well, he and his buddy are sitting around, drinking a few beers. They're way old friends; known each other since they were newborns. Pablo has never been with a woman for very long and always seems to go for younger women in his older age, but his friend has been with the same woman he knew in kindergarten and is still with her today.

So they're drinking, laughing, painting, etc. And then, invariably, they start talking about the women in their lives. Pablo stops at one point, and says to his buddy, "Ahh, but my friend, I have spent my life being with the same woman, but you've spent your life being with different women all the time!"

How true.

Actually, someone told me that story once as if it were fact from the real Picasso. Who knows; it's probably just a story (maybe it wasn't even Picasso), and I don't even remember the real version, but the point is the same. Think about what "Picasso" said...

That's something I think about (as someone else here already pointed out) when I watch the personality types that stick with kendo. When you love something enough to really stick it out through thick and thin and good and bad, that's when variety truly opens up. Often, I suspect that it's through the monogamy of one partner that we truly discover love and relationship and all the breadth of experience that it entails, and it's also through the monogamy of men over and over and over and over that we truly discover kendo and all the breadth it entails.

[satsumaruma]

:)lol im sure theres some guys in my dojo that would be happy for some after hours tia-tare practice 0.o (sorry, but it had to be said)

As for Satsumaruma talking about a really short hakama, i just got a perfect image of a mini-skirt hakama, lol


feel free to post pics when it's made.:)

Physical appearance vs attitude, i could cope if it's a one nighter, other than that i don't think so :ko:.

Blonde hair, brown eyes, fantastic figure, fetish heels, all the extras:wink:

This boy is so very very shallow:)

do u intend to write a book on this ? i have a title suggestion...

''kendo-no-monogami''

[ccheck5]

Hahahah, I thought this was about the striking point, 'men,' as well before I read it.

Really, relax. The dojo isn't a singles' club. I think that if you let off a little bit, instead of trying so hard, just relax and let it happen... You'll be happier and boys are attracted to self-confidence more than almost anything else.

And who knows? You might meet the love of your life in the grocery store.
i work at a grocery store and all the women i see are a bunch of moms, though they are very nice looking :D

I actually have a thing for crazy women. My ex-gf used to read me her pokemon slash (very disturbing) and by current girlfriend is a radical conservative (who doesn't mind telling me that I'm going to burn in hell).

I think that crazy people gives the relationship flavor and something to make fun of if things go wrong.

You know I was actually thinking that it would be nice to get some Kendoka and make a TV series in Episodic format, then release it over BitTorrent.

However, I lack what I need (I'm still a beginner in kendo, Camera isn't that good, no current script, etc)

after writing my book about McDreamy when I get back from Japan, I was thinking about writing a soap opera script :P

You mean a thriller script .:silly:

that would only happen IF...

I really do end up killing his gf.

:D:evil:

MUAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!~~~~

but even if I don't end up doing that, I'm still gonna write my book...:P

then the drama tee hee...

[samurai80]

and make this episode of KW soap opera end, .:smoker:

Cue soft piano music in the background.
"I...I can't let it end. Not now. I love her!"
Cue over-dramatic strings.

Next time on "Always the Same With the Men"...
Will Dragon Ninja murder the girl that stands in the way of her love? Will Ms. Scarlet, the grocery store MILF ever make a move on CCheck5, or is she using him to get revenge on her ex-husband? Will Charuzu find himself in a dangerous situation when his psychotic girlfriend traps him in the basement and forces him to wear a pokemon mask, or will detectives find him in time? Is samurai80 secretly attracted to the fiesty Pluto, or will the fighting continue?
Tune in for the next installment of "Always the Same With the Men".

[yoda-waza]

No, I'm changing channels, thank you.

[samurai80]

Go ahead, enjoy the writers' strike...pffft.

[ccheck5]

char: that is some freaky shit. i love pokemon but not like that lol. any who if you'll just leave me your ex's number. . . . dragon: can i direct and edit your production. i happened to be a little experienced at it and i need to quit my day job and the only other work i can get doing that is the porn industry. sam: i like your idea of that soap. we'll call it kendo days of our lives or general kendo. and if we make it you got a job narrating. i'm still waiting for miss scarlet to make a move on me cause if i do it she might take it as sexual harassment and then i lose my job :( yoda waza: shame on you, right when it was about to get good.

[PlutoInLove]

Oh, pfft, like it's any "secret."

I think a Kendo TV show is a good idea, but we have to be careful about the distribution. I've been doing Kendo for less than a year (not even, if you count the time off I had to take for medical reasons) and I'm ALREADY tired of the n00bs descending on the dojo with the Kill-Bill-boner.

PS-- my sensei has disappeared. No one knows where he is and he's not answering his phone; I'm'm'a start having to drive even farther to go to practice. I'm beginning to think that this IS some sort of Pluto Truman Show soap opera... Disappearing sensei! This is Kendo, not Ninjitsu!

[PlutoInLove]

Guys, you train in a beautiful activity called Kendo, you really should get together for a jigeiko and make this episode of KW soap opera end, especially that you're not that far from each other.:smoker:

It'd be a solid two-day drive, at least. And I'm not even in bogu yet. As soon as I am, though, I wouldn't mind taking a whack at it, pun fully intended.

... you don't think that we're seriously angry at one another, do you?

[samurai80]

And I'm not even in bogu yet. As soon as I am, though, I wouldn't mind taking a whack at it, pun fully intended.

I'm not sure which sentence I like more. Is it getting hot in here?

I think this is becoming my fav thread...much more fun than BOGU or WAZA. Can't wait for Samurai80's next script outline.

[PlutoInLove]

... oh, don't you have a girlfriend? I don't think she'd like you talking that way to me. ;)

So, is samurai80 going to have an illegitimate affair with Pluto? How will his girl react? Will there be a clifftop shinken shobu between the two female kendoka, locked in a primal struggle (((twixt man and whisk))) for samurai80's affection? Will ccheck5 actually come up with a GOOD title for the soap? Or will he completely forget about the whole thing the next time some OC Housewife with fresh silicone strolls by... Throw some popcorn in the microwave and wait for the next installment!

... she says, as she laughs her ass off.

[ccheck5]

whats kendo? i was busy looking at ms. scarlet. how about days of our shinai?

[Dragon Ninja]

dragon: can i direct and edit your production. i happened to be a little experienced at it and i need to quit my day job and the only other work i can get doing that is the porn industry.

Hahahah sure why not :P but we would need to co-work it--because everything will be based on first-and experience (especially the casting--like I HAVE to pick the dude who's got the hotness level somewhat close to McDreamy :P)

First I have to finish my book though...which should be done this summer when I get back from Japan :P want a copy?

sure i'll take a copy. as long as its not like all those other women written books with the picture of fabian on it. those are worse than porn. my ex had me read one once. and its not a teen mag till we start talking about the jonas brothers.

[samurai80]

Seriously though people, I can't write anything until something new happens. Someone get Dragon Ninja a gun, and let's get some dead girlfriends going here folks. CCheck5 needs to get it on in the back of some soccer mom's Dodge Caravan or something.

[samurai80]

You're a cat person? I bet your couch is shredded to bits.

[ccheck5]

lol i read the last post wrong. i made some guy almost shit himself in a tournament yesterday. can you write that in?

[samurai80]

Wow, is it obvious I was at home all day, or what? CCheck5, I would write it in, but I need more details, and the target group for this particular soap is women from 18-50, so if making someone crap themselves is appealing to women, fire away. By the way, I started with 18, because the subject matter deals with adult situations(i.e.-murder, scandal, sex, kendo-related sex, pokemon involved in coitus) and I ended it at 50, since 35-50 will be able to relate to going to the grocery store and having affairs with young men. I'd say younger, but college age,and younger doesn't really have "affairs" so to speak, not to mention a quick stop in the grocery store to pick up ramen noodles or crappy kids' beer doesn't count as going to the grocery store to me. In other words-if you drink Bud Light, or Mike's Hard Lemonade, this isn't for you. On the other end, if you take your teeth out when you drink, this soap aint for you either.

[Yulya]

A 50 year old woman having affairs with a young man? I think that's about as appealing as people crapping themselves!

[Kiki]

Sure thing kid, you just wait. Flip it around, say you meet some handsome guy who's 10+ years older than you and he also likes wine and kendo; has a real job, a decent car and maybe even a house - oh yes, he also treats you with respect and knows how to communicate better than a 25yr old going on 15 AND perhaps importantly has experience which he puts to good use....you would not even think about it? Be honest.

Episode 2/scene1

Isamu McDreamy answers door of the Hajime Mansion.
IM:"Yes?"
Postal worker:"Package for you sir. Please sign here."
IM:"Huh, that's strange. I wasn't expecting anything."
Postal worker: (Grins) "Well sir, it must be your lucky day."
IM:(puzzled look) "Yes...I guess it must be. Thank you."
Postal worker:(continues to grin) "No, thank YOU sir."(Postal worker walks away)
Isamu shuts door. He holds his ear close to the box and shakes package. No sound is heard. Isamu looks puzzled again. He begins to walk towards living room where the beautiful Ms. Kanojo is sitting on a couch, watching TV which is low, and muffled in the background.
MK: "Who was that baby?"
IM: "Just someone delivering this package. Did you order anything?"
MK:(Puzzled expression) "No." (Smiles) "Well open it. Let's see what it is!"
Isamu McDreamy sits next to Ms. Kanojo on the couch. They briefly exchange looks and grin as Isamu begins to open the box. He begins to pull out something clear and plastic.
MK:(Strange look) "What is it? A shower curtain?"
IM:(Chuckles) "I don't...know."
Isamu pulls the object entirely out of the box and holds it in front of the two.
MK:(Covers mouth with hand and smiles) "Its...its a see-through hakama."
The pair laugh. Ms. Kanojo snatches up the box to examine where it might have come from.
MK: "Who the hell sent this? This is weird."
IM: "C'mon, you sent this didn't you?" (Smiles hesitantly)
MK:"No. Are you serious?"
IM: "It must've been one of the guys from my team. They're probably laughing their asses off."
Ms. Kanojo laughs and continues to study the packaging. Camera cuts to shameless close-up of Isamu, who looks on with a blank expression. Cue dramatic strings. Camera cuts to window at the back of the house where a figure can be seen. Camera cuts to Dragon Ninja who is sitting outside of window. She has a devious grin upon her face.

Cue crescendo in dramatic strings. End scene.

AHAHAHAHA!!!!

This will DEF. be a part of my book :D

Btw...this thread will be mentioned in the book..so I guess everyone here has now turned into a character :P

Maybe this scene will be like a 'daydream' part or something har har har.

----

but speaking of the kanojo...

fuck.

She is pretty.

and...

not a bad person.

I can't hate her.

Apparently I met her before--at the all japan college women's championships--I had this weird feeling that it was her..but I couldn't pinpoint as to what it was. Bah.

The bitch has teh skinniest fucken thighs ever...ew...no joke, they're like the size of my forearms.

apparently she did kendo before she started working, and was strong...bah.

more of a reason to go kick her ass :D at least I have a chance to meet her on the shiai court.

how about adding this scene:

After killing the kanojo...

<Dragon Ninja walks in>

Me: Ah! Isamu sempai!
Motorcycle Guy: Oh! Ro-shi!
Me: genki?...
Motorcycle guy: mm...kanojo got killed...I dunno what happened
Me: yeah..I'm not sor--I mean I'm sorry to hear..
Motorcycle guy: it's okay...time will heal
Me: Well...that's a nice shinai you have there...
Motorcycle guy: Oh? thanks! Do you wanna practice some tsuki waza?

BANKACHICKAWANGWANG!

:laugh:

[samurai80]

God you're a pervert. Hilarious. I should mention that Isamu Hajime will be refered to as Isamu McDreamy throughout the soap. Motorcycle Guy isn't good enough to turn into a soap opera name(no offense). I'd come up with dramatic soap names for you and everyone else, but I don't know anyone's real names on here. For instance, I really don't want to call you Dragon Ninja, or CCheck5 well...CCheck5. The names have to be comic book meets Beverly Hills.

P.S. Don't spoil your story for everyone else. Now I'm going to have to decide wether I can even kill off Ms. Kanojo.

Keep it here for scene 2-Sammy Lovejones gets too drunk and talks smack to Pluto Ereshkigal. She proves a worthy opponent, but are the two more than opponents? Don't watch re-runs with Yoda-waza, cuz scene three will fog up your screens, when a strapping young Orange County grocer, has a sexy encounter with Ms. Scarlet, the recently divorced red head with plenty of cash, plenty of ass, and drama to match!

well before my match i psyche myself up. don't ask how. and my eyes feel funny then i get all focused. during the match after i had got a good feel of the guy and lost a point to him i decided to take him out. time was working against me . being the first time i encountered an cckf kenshi i was too cautious in making any radical move against him. knowing the every tick of the clock was a step away from victory i put my heart completely into my strikes without fear or hesitation. my eyes locked onto his, and i guess i had shocked him with my look and kiai. after making the men i knew he would step up his game to win another point. this time, after a rally of strikes between him and i, i once again looked at him but not like before i Pierced him him and paralyzed him with fear. time slowed down, his eyes widened, i had cut him and made the point before even raised my shinai. my strike was good and he didn't even try to dodge or block it. he just stood there but he knew it was over. . . . sam i have t teach you to write a proper script. will it help your story if i tell you my name? dragon you are awesome there needs to be more perverted girls. i have a hard time finding any over here. and forgive me for this but i must ask, do you like to play with size thirty nine shinai?

[Yulya]

God you're a pervert. Hilarious. I should mention that Isamu Hajime will be refered to as Isamu McDreamy throughout the soap. Motorcycle Guy isn't good enough to turn into a soap opera name(no offense). I'd come up with dramatic soap names for you and everyone else, but I don't know anyone's real names on here. For instance, I really don't want to call you Dragon Ninja, or CCheck5 well...CCheck5. The names have to be comic book meets Beverly Hills.

P.S. Don't spoil your story for everyone else. Now I'm going to have to decide wether I can even kill off Ms. Kanojo.

Keep it here for scene 2-Sammy Lovejones gets too drunk and talks smack to Pluto Ereshkigal. She proves a worthy opponent, but are the two more than opponents? Don't watch re-runs with Yoda-waza, cuz scene three will fog up your screens, when a strapping young Orange County grocer, has a sexy encounter with Ms. Scarlet, the recently divorced red head with plenty of cash, plenty of ass, and drama to match!

What, I don't make a character?! You know my name :P

[Dragon Ninja]

Motorcycle Guy isn't good enough to turn into a soap opera name(no offense).

the title of the soap is going to the be the same as the title of my book:

"Motorcycle Guy: Memoirs of a Stalker"

and yes I'm a perv...kyakyakya,

I mean girls are worse anyway..:P

[ShinKenshi]

<Dragon Ninja walks in>

Me: Ah! Isamu sempai!
Motorcycle Guy: Oh! Ro-shi!
Me: genki?...
Motorcycle guy: mm...kanojo got killed...I dunno what happened
Me: yeah..I'm not sor--I mean I'm sorry to hear..
Motorcycle guy: it's okay...time will heal
Me: Well...that's a nice shinai you have there...
Motorcycle guy: Oh? thanks! Do you wanna practice some tsuki waza?

BANKACHICKAWANGWANG!

:laugh:Wow, you are seriously the craziest girl kendoka out here. Almost like Miyamiya's dual personality (Bamboo Blade), Kirino's craziness, the stalking abilities of the girl that harasses Miyamiya, and I'd imagine Tamaki's insane kendo!

Yes, I'm a closet otaku...

[ccheck5]

no one is more Perverted than me . but lets keep that a secret for now

[samurai80]

What, I don't make a character?! You know my name :P

Sure, but it might take a minute. There's a lot of people posting in this thread, some have some pretty complicated story lines too.

Dragon Ninja- As this is your guy(well, not yet), I will back down, and call the soap "Motorcycle Guy: Memoirs of a Stalker"

[Yulya]

There is a certain guy in our dojo that joined the class because of a crush on me. Not going to name any names, I think you can figure that one out!
I feel stalked a lot....lol.

There, that should make it very easy for you to write that in!

Btw, you better go to Florida with me and Craig.

[samurai80]

Oh God...really? Really? Wow.

Yeh, I'm pretty sure I'm going. Can't give you a positive answer 'till Friday.

[Yulya]

Hahahaha....you didn't know this whole time?! You mean...it isn't obvious? lol

Sweet, one more and we can make a team.

[samurai80]

Don't you mean two more? And honestly, we need another yudansha player.

[Yulya]

Don't you mean two more? And honestly, we need another yudansha player.

Yea, we do. We can probably fill the team there.

[ccheck5]

here's something you can write in. i'm sitting here at a hamburger place and my ex just walked in. . . .now i feel all akward. can you write a way for of to get out of thiS situation

[Kapplow]

Seduce her.

[ccheck5]

Seduce her.

i'd rather not. things didn't end so nicely last time i saw her.

[samurai80]

Break battle. Its the only way.

[ccheck5]

i ended up using my ninjer skills to sneak out of the restaurant without being seen. but maybe she probaly did see me cause she sent me a message via MySpace. just a few hours ago. but if things get hairy again i wil keep break dance fighting in mind. bring it like i was on the 360

[Winter516]

fight like a spartan ccheck5, a spartan from 'meet the spartans' that is, break dance like theirs no tomorrow...

[ccheck5]

i didn't see that movie. it was to ugly

[samurai80]

You couldn't pay me to watch that hot mess.

[Yulya]

So how about All Florida Taikai, samurai80? We could split gas 3 ways! That would make it...affordable lol

[Kapplow]

Yo 80. If you come down you'll finally get a chance to do some Atarashii Naginata.

[samurai80]

It'll probably be weird at first. Guess I should fight in gedan, to protect my shins. I would definitely look foward to it, though. You got an extra pair of sune?

[Yulya]

Hey, I want to try!

[Kapplow]

I could get a extra pair of sune for you to wear. I was actually thinking about just showing you a few things to see if you like it. But I'd be down for isshu jiai too.

[Kapplow]

Hey, I want to try!


When you come to the house, I'll make sure I have some extra Naginata.

[samurai80]

Oh yeh, of course I want to give it a go, but isshu jiai sounded fun too.

[Yulya]

Registration is due today by the way! (Late registration fee is like $20 or $25)

80, (if you're not in class tomorrow) gimme a call and let me know if you're going so we can figure out a car pool. Bryan has kindly offered to let me stay at his place Fri. night and I think we should be able to split a hotel room Sat. night. There's a fairly inexpensive hotel there, and split between 3-5 people it would cost like 15-20 bucks.

[samurai80]

I'll be leaving Saturday, as soon as the competition is over. I might stick around for a little bit to try out naginata.

[Yulya]

I'll be leaving Saturday, as soon as the competition is over. I might stick around for a little bit to try out naginata.

Are you going on your own or do you still want to car pool? I was planning on staying Sunday as long as I can for keiko, but I can change plans for the sake of being able to get there at all, lol.

[Dragon Ninja]

Oh yeh, of course I want to give it a go, but isshu jiai sounded fun too.

the kendo side has to be at least 3dan in order to do isshujiai...

and shiet, I'm s0o upset that the writer's strike is still going on!! I need my GREY'S!!!!!

It's my love doctor..hahha..in how to handle the McDreamy/Wicked Witch of the East situation

[PlutoInLove]

Damn you two. I was supposed to tag along to the Taikai to watch, but since I haven't heard from my disappeared-sensei, I'm not. I'm disappointed. Tallahassee is too far for me to travel just for kicks (no pun intended). I think the group from the more-cohesive Tampa group is going, I'm not sure. I don't know anyone from there, anyhow; I just now met a user online here from up there. Don't know them personally, obviously.
I started out wanting to do naginata the most; I still do. I sort of 'settled' for kendo because it was what was available-- not that I'm disappointed, heheh. So I bide my time; it's not like I'm only allowed to practice one martial art. Heh, is it a sign of impending kendo-lunacy (the sort of symptoms that have lead more than one martial artist I know to divorce: "It's kendo (for example), or me!" "We'll talk about this when I get back from the dojo, I'm late...") that I'm actually crossing off potential colleges from my list because there's no dojo nearby? (Yeah I'm a little off-track, time-wise, I have my reasons).
Also. Who the hell are these people, Mc Dreamy and whatever? STOP TALKING OVER THE N00B! SHE DOESNT LIKE IT, DAMMIT! Don't MAKE me get feisty with you people!!!
And lastly. ccheck5, you are THE LAST person I would EVER recommend as a potential writing-instructor. Seriously. Even if one would ignore the lack of punctuation and proper construction (even mere capitalization), there still remains the simple fact that your writing is hackneyed bullshit beyond anything seen in even the lowest community college level ENG1101. I seriously hope you were joking about the 'proper script' bit. Three seconds and Google can turn you up screenwriting/playwriting formatting software; the rest is just your ideas.

... everywhere I go... idiots to be schooled... I get no rest.

[PlutoInLove]

OH MAN my entries keep getting erased. Damn it, I'm getting frustrated.

Does anyone watch Shin-Chan on [adult swim]? I usually catch it while waiting for GitSSAC to come on. Am I right, was Penny beating Maso with a SHINAI??? I mean after the bit with the baseball bat.

[ccheck5]

uh just because i don't watch everything i write or check my punctuation does not mean i can't write. it just means i'm lazy. i have been studying film since freshman year in high school. many of the formats given online aren't the correct format and the programs don't teach you how to use it correctly. i have written many scripts and actually have one going to be shown in a local film festival on the recommendation of my film editing instructor. so before you go making assumptions about people make sure you actually know something about them. body if you don't have nothing nice to say, well then don't say it.

[Dragon Ninja]

Also. Who the hell are these people, Mc Dreamy and whatever? STOP TALKING OVER THE N00B! SHE DOESNT LIKE IT, DAMMIT! Don't MAKE me get feisty with you people!!!.

maybe if you had read page 4 of this thread, you would know who McDreamy is.

and I agree with ccheck5, don't post crap up if you're not going to be nice about it.

[samurai80]

Pluto-Yes, Shin Chan is the shit. Yes, it was a shinai, and there are actually like, three or four episodes that are about Shin Chan on a kendo team.( I'm actually not into most anime, but Shin Chan is hilarious.)

Dragon Ninja- I thought it was something like that, 2nd or 3rd dan, but if a sensei is present, isn't it okay then? Maybe I'm wrong.

[Kapplow]

For underranked isshu jiai, I use the "just for fun" loophole.

[samurai80]

Underground isshu jiai fight club.

[Dragon Ninja]

Underground isshu jiai fight club.

hell yea I'm in.

well my sensei said that the kendo side has to be at least 3dan for "safety reasons" even with sensei present

[samurai80]

See, that's why its underground. Now we can injure each other at will.

[Kapplow]

I've been nailed so hard with the oak part of the Naginata that I've seen stars. So you really do need to be careful.

[samurai80]

I'm worried about my feet. I've seen some nasty war wounds to the tops of people's feet from isshu jiai.

[Dragon Ninja]

I've done isshujiai when I was lower ranked (I was maybe shodan or ikyu at the time? on the naginata side though)...

kendo side was 3kyu, I had the NASTIEST welt on my back..so yeah...I really don't recommend it unless you're higher ranked (there's things like tenouchi, mawai, etc...)

You also probably wouldn't get much out of it unless you're higher ranked and play against higher ranked people anyway...

[samurai80]

How did you get hit on the back?

[Dragon Ninja]

that's what I'm still wondering too...

apparently it's a common injury among the naginata side when doing isshujiai, I think he was trying to strike dou, but failed, and since the naginata kamae is to the side anyway, that part probably got whacked instead

[a.hong]

I've never had any problems with isshujiai on the naginata side. The lowest rank that I've practiced with was ikkyu, with no problems whatsoever. Actually, it was the sandan who gave me a welt on my thigh from an attempted sune.

War wounds on the feet happen in naginata v. naginata, not just isshujiai. It's kinda up to the individuals.

[ShinKenshi]

Did isshyujiai with a naginiata yondan once when I was still ikkyu. I don't think she really had much to worry about since by the time I was half way to hitting her men she already had hit my sune. I think at the time I was aware that if I wasn't careful I could've given her a nice welt across her back so I didn't attempt to hit do at all. I agree with Hi No Bushi in that it it depends on the people involved.

[Dragon Ninja]

I think though that because of the reputation for high risks of injuries, that's why that 'sandan' rule has been enforced...
