"Kyoko-chan, you're trying to seduce me." An interesting article from Times Online http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/relationships/article4619389.ece . Are you cut out to be a professional seducer? "In Japan, if you have the money you can sort out virtually any problem in your love life. If you want to get rid of an unwanted spouse, retrieve a straying one, get back with an ex or even get together with someone you’ve seen but don’t yet know, there are companies that will help you" "Case 1: Mr A and Kyoko 3.30pm. Mr A is outside a bank in a busy part of Ikebukuro, a faintly seedy area of Tokyo, waiting for his date. He beams as she teeters across the road on high heels. Kyoko, 20, is half his age. She has a mane of black hair, sloe eyes, a fetching smile and a cute giggle. Her blouse is open to reveal her cleavage and she has on a short skirt and sheer black tights. Mr A is a bald 40-year-old salesman in a crumpled grey suit and glasses. Mr A met Kyoko by chance in the street; the first time she asked him for directions, then they bumped into each other again, and since then they have been exchanging flirtatious texts. They stop off at a cigarette machine, then go to a cheap basement restaurant for spaghetti. He has bought her moisturiser and cleanser. She giggles coyly: “Next time, why don’t you give me a ring?” At 4.30 they’re outside a pawnbroker’s, looking at rings. Their shoulders touch, then they reach for each other’s hands. They head for north Ikebukuro, an area of love hotels with velvet-covered walls, mirrored ceilings and sexy videos that rent rooms for two-hour periods. At 4.45 they go into one. They take a picture of the two of them on her mobile. At 6.07 they leave. At the station Mr A gives Kyoko a furtive goodbye kiss. Next time, he says, he’ll take her somewhere nice – a hot-spring resort maybe, or Tokyo Disneyland. Then he goes back to the office and, later, home to his wife. Mr A doesn’t know that a team of private investigators is recording his every move."

I don't think any official business like this can survive in the States. Keep in mind I said Official, I am sure some companies do this already.

Wow... just like 'Cheaters' (a great show) and the 'Maury Show' (because of the agent/decoy). It's not all bad for the target, he got to have smex with the hawt agent, and technically his wife paid for it! That's pretty f***ed up for Kyoko's boyfriend, he has no idea of all the men she's slept with. How funny would it be if he got an agent to the same thing to her?

Amazing, I think I've seen the spying done in a movie... I think it was called, Shall we Dance(japanese ver). Oh and the picture of the leg, I'm not too sure of this, but isn't that a guy's leg?
(ID #287646) Posted on 2008/09/02 10:38
The leg belongs to Anne Bancroft. It is a scene from “The Graduate.”
(ID #287663) Posted on 2008/09/02 11:02
And the guy looking at the leg is Dustin Hoffman.

lol, subliminal imaging?
(ID #287865) Posted on 2008/09/02 14:21
This makes me so sad. I think it's the greatest shame and humiliation of a woman to be cheated on by her spouse, and also the most painful betrayal especially if the woman is still in love with her husband.
