i have a couple DQ blobs i got for free but thats it. i have no interest in the stuff really just more crap to dust. the whole half naked anime girls thing screams never getting laid imo.
You're jumping the gun. It screams "I have zero social skills whatsoever." Getting laid is but a fantasy! There are some really, REALLY CREEPY people that frequent the shops that sell this stuff. What's worse is that a lot of them also sell porn, like doujinshi, so the real FREAKS will show up.
My wife and I were at a game shop a few months ago -they sell porn on the 2nd floor- I'm looking at some old Dreamcast games, and this creepy fuck comes running over to where I am, looking at games in the same area and breathing very heavily. Then as we're walking away, he darts behind my wife. I have my eyes locked on this guy; if I even see him so much as stare at her behind I'm going to do something that might get me deported.
But no, he doesn't do anything. He waits for her to get out of the way and then RUNS to the stairs and up to the second floor, still breathing HEAVILY the entire time. Fucking creepy.
That's actually another reason recycle shops are better- no freaks. It's usually normal people. Hell, there's plenty of times you see couples or girls looking at this stuff too. It's not like it is back home.
