Dating women of affluent suburban communities has lead me to several observations, these are general ideas that I find hold throughout many suburbs built after World War 2, what I will call the mass production suburb.
Gadgetry
Your average suburban home is not complete without multiple televisions with viewing angles that rival some fifth graders for size. The average suburban father prides himself on the dominance of his hobby. For example an extensive model train set.
But enough about peres, on my last visit to the lower garden state i was introduced to a revived friend of ma petite amie. This fellow lives in his mother's home, works at an auto repair shop and attends a community college. Entering his room was like walking into videogame, manga, and a Samurai temple .
Every wall was covered with a manga poster or a bookshelf full of magna and video games. A corner desk lurked spanning the two windows with a flat screen monitor and elaborate computer setup, to the left a large television with every videogame system of the last six years sitting underneath it.
We then walked into his brother's smaller room to watch a Formula 1 race replay. This room was a little bit better lit but far more messy and equally littered with gamer/manga/ninja paraphernalia. Our host used a $100+ remote to control the tv and xbox 360 which were at most 3 ft away.
