On February 7, Bandai Japan is coming out with a new gadget [JP ]that will tell help women how well they understand men. The Onna Dameshi (Girl Tester) comes with a total of pre-installed 100 questions, such as “What phrase will make boys happy when said out of jealousy by their girlfriends?” or “What type of hair style do men usually prefer their girlfriends to have?”.
The monochrome LCD screen displays five questions and users can choose between four possible answers. Bandai, and this is no joke, surveyed 1,000 single men in Japan aged between 20 and 39 to get the best results possible.
If the user answers a lot of questions right, her moteQ (popularity meter) rises, meaning she gradually builds up knowledge in men. Yeah, right.
The Onna Dameshi features a few more games, such as a “love meter” and will be available in red, white and – of course – pink.
It’s unknown whether the gadget will ever find its way outside Japan (where it will be priced at $30). Bandai wants to sell 100,000 units by the end of 2009, mostly to Japanese women in their 20s and 30s.
A device who’s sole purpose is to turn females into better girlfriend material? These should be compulsory!
One of the screenshots puzzles me though. Do the Japanese not have a word for ‘Hit’?
The question is, can I get one of these for my wife?
And preferably someone to teach her Japanese…
I guarantee you that women will buy these in droves….this will be more popular than the IPhone…women love this kind fluff!
