The Mystery of Men, Solved

Japanese toy maker Bandai is making a little device that helps women test, and presumably enhance, how appealing they are to men. The "Onna-Dameshi" (roughly, "Woman Test") looks like a makeup compact and and retails for JPY 2,499 (approx $27 USD at today's exchange rate).

There are 4 modes of play (translations my own, with artistic liberties taken)
(1) measuring your "sex appeal quotient," in which you answer questions such as "What hairstyle do guys find the most desirable?" (A: "Semi-long.")
(2) "Fishing game," in which you try to catch 36 different types of guy; a well-timed button press catches a man and yields a question you must answer about his type.
(3) "Queen of the Hill," in which two to four ladies are pitted against each other in a quiz tournament.
(4) "Test it Out," in which you give your Onna-Dameshi over to a guy in whom you are interested. He answers 10 questions designed to diagnose which one of the 36 types of guy he is. Then you answer 5 questions yourself to see how well you know him.

  1. As soon as we can get 'science' involved, we'll figure out this mating game.
