[00:03] Ryou     What?! Iyashi-san is sizing up the competition?! SIGN    Episode 18     "Subconscious Patterns of     People Likely to Suffer     from Mental Disorders" [00:05] Asuna     Oh, it's not like at a sumo match, though. SIGN    Face each other! [00:08] Ryou     I know that! [00:10] Himeru     Don't say such mean things, Asuna. [00:11] Himeru     It's the kind of meeting     where two people assess SIGN    Looks SIGN    Age [00:13] Himeru     each other's looks, age, and income, SIGN    Income SIGN    Personality [00:14] Himeru     as well as whether the other has     a personality they can control, SIGN    I guess that's about it... [00:16] Himeru     and determine what they'd be willing     to compromise if they lived together. [00:18] Ryou     Right, the kind of meeting where     they find what to compromise on... [00:20] Ryou     Wait, what you're saying is even meaner! [00:22] Asuna     Oh, right... SIGN    I did not feel a connection this time. I wish you the best in the future. [00:23] Asuna     You mean the kind where she finds things     to compromise on, and he refuses? [00:26] Ryou     Why do you assume he'll refuse... [00:28] Ryou     Er, huh? SIGN    ※We apologize for the distorted audio and video in the previous section. [00:29] Asuna     Today will actually be     Onee-chan's 108th meeting. SIGN    108th... [00:33] Ryou     What, like the New Year's bell?! [00:34] [SONG] Text     Let's go snoop!     It'll be hilarious! [00:34] Asuna     Doctor, I'm worried. Could we sneak     over and keep an eye on her? SIGN    It's not because of any sort of "special circumstances"! [00:37] Ryou     Uh, I think your real intentions     are written all over your face... SIGN    It's really not... um... If you just can't accept that, visit the mental clinic! [00:41] Asuna     By the way, the place they're meeting in     is kind of informal, so don't be surprised. [00:45] Asuna     Oh, here it is. SIGN    Moemimi Café [00:48] Maid     Welcome ho-meow, Master! SIGN    Nozoki/Kangoshi Marriage Meeting Site [00:51] Ryou     You can only take "informal" so far! [00:53] Ryou     Who has a marriage meeting in a maid café?! [00:55] Asuna     Onee-chan's in there. [00:56] Ryou     That's beyond eccentric! [00:57] Maid     What'll you have, meow? [00:57] Ryou     That nice kimono just looks     like some fanatical cosplay! [00:59] Guy     I'll have the Special Meow-Meow Drink. [01:00] Asuna     She's been turned down     in so many normal places, [01:02] Maid     Got it, meow! [01:02] Asuna     she thought maybe it'd work out     in a place that was less typical. [01:05] Ryou     This is even worse! [01:06] Ryou     So where's the guy? [01:07] Asuna     It's that guy in the Japanese clothing. [01:09] Ryou     Japanese? I don't see... SIGN    Japan [01:11] Ryou     You don't call that "Japanese clothing"! [01:13] Ryou     And that's the voyeur guy we saw before! [01:16] Asuna     When you've done this 108 times,     guys like him are all that's left. [01:19] Himeru     B-But you know, despite his looks,     he might be a nice person. [01:23] Iyashi     S-So, what type of women do you like? SIGN    Middle school girls. SIGN    Middle school girls♥ [01:28] Ryou     How is that supposed to lead     into a marriage meeting?! [01:30] Iyashi     Wh-What's your favorite food? [01:31] Guy     Rice balls made by middle school girls. [01:34] Ryou     That has nothing to do with     appetite! That's just lust! [01:36] Iyashi     Wh-What's your dream for the future? [01:38] Guy     To marry into a middle school girl's family. [01:41] Ryou     Why'd you even come here?! SIGN    Tremble [01:42] Ryou     Worst of all, that's not legally possible! [01:45] Iyashi     H-How wonderful! You're so consistent     and honest about who you are! [01:49] Ryou     What?! How did you interpret     that so favorably?! [01:51] Guy     But are you okay with this? [01:53] Guy     Doesn't just meeting me like this     cause you all kinds of trouble? [01:56] Ryou     What an awful thing to say! [01:57] Ryou     And I can't tell if you're being     sarcastic or just masochistic! [01:59] Ryou     Why are you turning red? [02:01] Himeru     Sometimes, when Onee-chan     is insulted, she turns red. [02:05] Himeru     Is it psychologically possible to fall     for someone because they insulted you? SIGN    Cognitive Consistency Theory [02:10] Ryou     Then, today, let's discuss the [02:12] Ryou     "cognitive consistency theory" of     psychologists Deutsch and Solomon. [02:15] Ryou     Put simply, people with     high opinions of themselves SIGN    High [02:16] [SONG] Text     People with high opinions of themselves     like people who think highly of them SIGN    You're     really     great. [02:18] Ryou     like people who think highly of them. SIGN    Low [02:19] [SONG] Text     People with low opinions of themselves     like people who think poorly of them SIGN    You're     no     good. [02:20] Ryou     And people with low opinions of themselves     like people who think poorly of them. [02:24] Himeru     Really? [02:25] Ryou     Yes, in other words, since what he     says matches her own self-image... SIGN    "He understands me..." SIGN    "He understands me..." [02:29] Ryou     ...is what she'll think. [02:30] Ryou     But if someone says the opposite... SIGN    You're no good. SIGN    What's with him? Jerk... SIGN    You're really great. SIGN    Giving me cheap compliments when he doesn't even know me... [02:35] Ryou     It ends up this way. [02:37] Himeru     Oh, I think I underst— [02:38] Grandpa     I understand! [02:39] Grandpa     It burns me up when clerks in     department stores offer me an S! SIGN    You're an S, correct? SIGN    Vice versa! I'm a total M! SIGN    I'm a total M! [02:45] Ryou     Don't lump clothing sizes and     sexual fetishes together! [02:48] Maid     See you again-meow, Master! [02:49] Ryou     So, those who like people with high     opinions of them are confident people. [02:51] Girl     You're really great. [02:53] Guy     All right! Now I'm even more confident! [02:54] Ryou     Because of that, they can     accept compliments happily. [02:56] Asuna     I see! [02:57] Ryou     But those who like people who think     poorly of them may lack confidence. [03:01] Ryou     So when someone insults them, they     think the person understands them, SIGN    You're no good♥ [03:03] Ryou     and end up trusting them. [03:05] Asuna     So is that why tsundere girls in anime     have such deeply rooted popularity? SIGN    Are you stupid?     I'm not doing this for you or anything! [03:09] Ryou     It's possible that, for people     with low confidence, SIGN    Ooooh! [03:11] Ryou     being treated coldly inspires     a feeling of trust. [03:14] Ryou     So if you like people who think highly     of you, that's a very good thing. [03:19] Ryou     But if you tend to like people     who think poorly of you, [03:22] Ryou     try accepting compliments     gratefully now and then. [03:25] Ryou     No matter how small, if you can accept     yourself and those around you positively, [03:29] Ryou     that's where everything will begin. [03:31] Himeru     Got it! [03:32] Asuna     Does that mean Iyashi-oneechan [03:34] Asuna     has lost confidence after failing     in so many marriage meetings? [03:37] Himeru     You're saying that might be why she     falls for people who reject her? [03:42] Ryou     S-So it would seem... [03:44] Guy     Wait, you don't even have     a boyfriend yet, do you? [03:47] Guy     You're not a middle school girl     anymore, so shouldn't you hurry? [03:50] Iyashi     Y-Yes... [03:50] Ryou     She doesn't want to hear that from you! [03:52] Guy     Well, if you asked me to marry you,     I might be willing to think about it. [03:57] Guy     Of course, middle school girls are best, SIGN    Tremble [03:59] Guy     but I actually have a broad strike zone. [04:01] Ryou     That's the worst expression     of affection ever! [04:03] Guy     We'll have our wedding at the     local girls' middle school! [04:05] Iyashi     U-Um... [04:06] Ryou     Your face is redder than ever! [04:08] Ryou     D-D-Don't tell me... [04:10] Iyashi     This is my answer. [04:11] Ryou     Wait! You're really giving the OK?! [04:20] Voice     KO! SIGN    Bam [04:23] Ryou     It was "KO"! [04:25] ---     You win! [04:29] Iyashi     That's 108 wins out of 108 battles. [04:32] Asuna     By the way, all the other     guys were KO'ed, too. [04:35] Ryou     Would you call those "wins"? SIGN    If you thought you were winning, but have a     feeling you're losing, visit the mental clinic! SIGN    This program is a work of fiction.
