Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 but what youre basically saying is, according to the conversation you and Karnidge had is: "if I dont allow people under age 40, from 30-39 years old, into the oyaji bracket, then I would lose most of my buddies on this forum," right?

gamera 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Yep, the vague thing about auxiliary verbs for me is do we always need to put "WOULD" there if it's 仮定法？ If I put "will" there instead of "would", is it misunderstandable or just sounds strange? Maybe I mix the usage of WOULD for 仮定法 and just gramatical time reference ( pp, past, present, future ) Thanks for your lesson Yama. Coke and JackDanniel is enough for it when you visit me?

slow 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 By the way, I need your Oyajis advice. We met our ex-boss at bar last night. It was first time in two years. I got a mail from him this morning and he is asking me a dinner. Now he has his office in California and Tokyo. He is mid 40's, triathlete, architect. I don't want to call him "Oyaji" because he is an interesting guy. He has very nice career woman wife and cute daughter, too. But the problem is the reason why he quit our company. There was a rumor it was because of sexual harrassement. The victim was my friend. She never told us what happened. I'm wondering if I want to have dinner with him or not. Or should I take someone with me? He is clearly a body-conscious guy. His keitai mail address is... "triathlete-hisname.ingoodshape@------" Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 slow, dont go there with a 10ft pole. Id ask your girlfriend first what happened. If she wont talk about it, then it cant be good right? Besides, Im sure as sexy as you can find somebody younger than that!!! Link to post Share on other sites

I think you had better give a clear answer first. If you would like to go, you go. If you wouldn't, then you shouldn't, should you? We are all enough mature to judge this kind of stuff, right?

misorano 1 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Slow: Who says Oyaji's aren't interesting? I like your "...He has a nice career wife.. But the problem is...sexual harrassement". So the wife is not a problem, but the sexual harrassement is. Take someone with you (a real cutey), and make him take you to a really nice restaurant on the Tokyo waterfront. When he tries to hit on you, give your girlfriend a long kiss and tell him you're a lesbian. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Slow Don't go anywhere near him. He has a wife and daughter. If he wants to play, then let it be someone else's problem, and don't be part of it. Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Thank you for the advice. I didn't think it was bad idea if it's just dinner and conversation. But as long as there is a rumor like that and he has nice wife and daughter, I should keep away from him. When Oyajis ask a young lady for a dinner, do they usually expect something more? Yama, yeah I'm a kind of Oyaji friendly person but I'll try to attract young guys from now on! Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I'll go along with you slow..... I'll keep him in line if he tries anything on you.... ( assuming you're not interested in him of course.) Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I'd guess some expect more and some just want the alpha male thing, being seen with someone young and good looking. I'm probably not the person to answer, because I'm a one woman man. I avoid these sorts of complications. Link to post Share on other sites

I personally expect her to laugh at all my (bad) jokes. One thing Slow. True Oyaji's won't take you to a fancy French restaurant. Oyaji's are IZAKAYA men all the way, or maybe a good Nabe in Winter. Married Men who take you to a fancy restaurant don't qualify as Oyaji. There's another name for it. Sleezeball I think. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hardcore oyajis smoke Peace or Hope and eat yakitori under the train tracks with 300 yen dai-jockeys, but any bloke who hassles younger women at work is automatically an oyaji. Doesn't matter how many triathalons you run or hair care products you buy. I bet some married blokes project fake pride for their wife and kids to impress other women. I bet some women lap it up too.

Ocean11 0 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 slow, the question you need answered is, "Has he had a vasectomy?" (Now do I qualify as an oyaji...?) Link to post Share on other sites
