Boing Boing (4173) permalink
The Times Online reports on a company on Japan that uses professional seducers to help unhappy wives build a case for divorcing their husbands. 3.30pm.

- Nomadic Me said: LOL.. the actual figures that i got wereShouldnt: 776,000Should :9,300,000haha... food for thought!
- Alegrya said: make that 10,235 results
- Dana said: My numbers came out slightly different. Overall, 1149 shouldn't, 10150 should.For kissing "him", 309 shouldn't and 2120 should which is about 12.7% for shouldn't have kissed him.For kissing "her", 840 shouldn't and 8030 should which is about 9.5%% for shouldn't have kissed her.What have we learnt from this? People like to talk about kissing her more than they like talking about kissing him and a larger proportion of people regret kissing him. But on average, if you kiss them, there's only 10.2% chance you'll regret it. Haha.
- Swaroop said: yikes :)
- nybble said: In real life, of course, google shows 7,610 for I should have vs. 778 for I shouldn't have. (and still nothing for I'm glad I saw epic movie - except for refs to this comic :)
- Santosh said: Laughing My Ass Off!
- Ashe said: just do it and dontget yourself top worked up about it. With numbers like these the person you didn't kiss was wanting to kiss you too.
- Linda said: what about the results for "I _____ have slept with him" (or her)? Methinks it's probably the inverse...
- Apollo L said: If in doubt, kiss her (or him).
- purplesque said: I bet you'd similar results for a lot of other scenarios.
- Bram said: resharetell me 'bout it ...
- nigeldgreen said: Very poignant
- Ricky said: XKCD never fails to impress me.
- Yusuf said: "I should have kissed her" gets 8000 some hits while "I should have kissed him" gets only 73. Male regret for wanting to kiss and not doing it is about 100 times more than female regret. In terms of shouldn't, you get 73 "shouldn't him" and 28 "shouldn't her". Females regret for the kiss that happened is ~3 times more than males.Advice to females: He is thinking about kissing you. That is all he is thinking about.Advice to males: Just do it. There is 1/3 chance that you will regret it more than she does!
