I think I speak for all men, and a good number of women as well, when I say we’d appreciate more direct communication in our romantic relationships.

No one really enjoys playing mind games in their quest for love. Especially, as some people in Japan are showing, action video games like Capcom’s Monster Hunter can be a much better way of finding your soul mate.
