Does Facebook Dating Work In Japan

[Yahaira Petrov]

Ifthe guy is so ashamed to tell his family that he is dating a gaijin, drop him. His small penis will not give you any pleasure anyway. It is not like they are filthy rich like some of the Chinese people are, so their small wiener size cannot be made up with earning money since most Japanese men do not necessarily earn per hour what people do in the west. Are you aware that most Japanese men have experiences paying for sex? Unless you are comfortable dating men who have been with prostitutes, which is a deal breaker for most people, I would not touch these perverted men. You will see that most Japanese women know how much of a pig Japanese men are being misogynistic and all prefer to date white men.

For a Japanese boy to introduce his girl friend to his mother is an indication to his parents that he is going to marry with her. It has nothing to do with gaijin/Japanese thing, and purely a cultural difference.

wow! a very interesting read. sometimes i think it would be nice to have a japanese boyfriend, but then i think i only think so because i like toma. haha. probably would not work out if i actually tried finding one. xD

As a gay man that has been seeing a Japanese guy for a couple of months, it would have been nice to know whether the situations I find myself to be in are more likely to be down to cultural differences or whether it is more likely a difference in personalities.

Hi, thank you for all that interesting information! I am also a German married to a Japanese guy, living in Japan. The thing with a lack of showing physical contact in public is new to me, my husband kisses me in public and if I do not watch out he will start grabbing my butt when I stand in front of him on the crowded escalator (he ruins my good reputation, hahaha :-) ) It might be because we had lived together in Germany for 2 years before we moved to Japan, so he has adopted German manners.

Also I have a very good friendship with his mom, but I was told people from Osaka are more open-minded than other Japanese, no idea if that is true.

However the communication problem is familiar to me as well, we mostly use German but sometimes he misunderstands what I say. Not because of lack of vocabulary or grammar, but some German ways of saying something seem to be impolite to him, while they are very normal for a German native speaker. So I try to do my best to quickly identify a misunderstanding and explain to him.

Is it just me, or does this sound like a series of additional hurdles for these poor souls to have to go through? The commenters in the article were absolutely correct- surely there are better measures to help this kind of thing?

Typical Japanese way to overcomplicate things and then wonder why it hasn't succeeded. Why would people willingly give up so much personal info and be pressured to get married? So what's next, you get kicked out of the app if you've met 3 people and still haven't picked a mating partner?

Hahaha... I laughed a lot when I read this. Knowing it'll be a government app it won't work, for starters. Then they'll ask you to hook it up to your MyNumber card if they ever get it off the ground.... I mean, if you're able to input your information, switching between zenkakumoji and hankaku, plus entering a bunch of PINs sent to addresses that need verifying by checking the app, which you can't submit to without the PIN. And we all know how great the government is with private information, too. The only reasons I didn't laugh harder at this was, a) they are using our taxes for this, b) they are doing this instead of taking actual measures to increase the desire to find a partner and possibly create a family. Reinstitute tax breaks for families? Nah... let's make a government dating app!

Users will be required to submit paperwork that they are single and looking to get married... if you're not laughing then you should join these politicians. Typical Japanese political disassociation with reality. I'd run for PM in Japan but I'm not Japanese. Japanese women just don't want the BS role that many men expect them to act out now a days. With all the social media and advanced communications women are not communicating. I think Japan may need to close its borders again for 200 years. Go back to a Feudal system and live off of what can be produced domestically. Women were pretty tough back in the day... as much as you might think men ruled them, I believe women had power too... but behind the scenes. That is how women rule... they work together with unwritten rules that rule men. So pick your century.... this one is all screwed up.

I literally was looking at the picture of the two Pikachu's on the top page and reading the title of this article and automatically thinking they were related, and expected to see the smiling Pikachu's when I clicked the article.

Willing to get married (only if they can find the right partner), that doesn't mean anyone can force them to marry and have babies. Some people they just choose to live together. JGovt solution always have dissociation with reality.

I've never used dating apps and am clueless about them. Is "I want to get married and have babies" much of a thing on them? I presume that is the theme of this one, not "I looking for fun" or "look at how attractive I am".

If it guarantees that the other person is single and has the salary they claim they do, this app could be more reassuring for women. As a man, my fear with a commercial dating app would be it wasting my time and screwing money out of me by charging me for chats with an AI "woman". Ashley Madison had a tiny number of actual women users, so this is not a baseless fear.

The demographic change is coming and it CANNOT be stopped. The good news is, it is going to affect all modern developed countries and Japan can get a head start on it before China, Russia, Italy, and the others! What they need to be doing is not hosing money at trying to avoid the demographic collapse, but invest the funds in things that will be beneficial after the collapse. Maybe Japan will have to allow very limited amounts of immigration to soften the blow whilst also investing in more automation.

I actually am of the opinion that Japan's resilient survivalist mentality will once again manifest itself at the right time and they will get through it. Sadly right now the Oyajis are in the way and will make the process more difficult/expensive. They need to get young people running the show both in business and politics. Stop all the endless cultural welfare for the elderly and start prepping for the future.

Tanaka: Great. We'll do app then. I saw a survey somewhere showing that most people want their kids to get a job in the civil service, so they must trust us. Naturally, a dating app designed by the government couldn't possibly fail.

Honda: We'll get the re-employed retirees to design it, ensuring all the text is crammed onto the front page so users won't have to navigate to other pages. And we'll need a mascot. Throw in a fax number for good measure.

Kawasaki: What'll really hook 'em is a neat feature where they need to submit a whole lot of paperwork to register and provide their personal information, which I can leak by leaving a USB stick at a snack in exchange for a bit of extra service.

Boy, the ability of these guys to observe and analyse the situation is worse than I thought it was. Dating apps are not going to solve the problem of rampant inflation, stagnant wages and crippling taxes. The reason people are not having babies is simply because they cannot afford to.

Have they ever tried to analyze why people don't have kids anymore? The same bureaucrat doesn't even know that half of the job contracts in Japan are not permanent but mostly baito level with minimum wages. Then comes the other 20 or so reasons that no one in the government will ever pay attention to.

Yes! The answer to declining population is bureaucracy! Kids these days just love signing forms and getting them registered and approved, and then gathering other forms for the govt to approve, reject, or send back with corrections.

Reduce the tax burden. Decrease working hours...or at least adjust them to match the countries you do business with. Abandon the company is your guardian. Allow people to go home when their tasks are completed. Regulate working hours and conditions. Sit back and Chill as Japanese people start procreating again.

Yes, of course, because the low birth rate is related to not have an app that requires to provide extensive personal information. No, the issue is not the struggling economy, the lack of housing, the extra long working hours that don't left time and energy to socialize, and of course the culture that demands that the women left everything to become just house wives, dropping years of study and experience.

Japan has so many strange human-renting services, like offering you the ability to rent a boyfriend or girlfriend for a night (no special extras involved), to rent a family to come to your graduation, to rent a homeless person, and, among others, to rent an ossan (a middle aged man) for whatever reason one might want to do that for.

What is NEET, you ask? It is an acronym for "N\ot in E\ducation, E\mployment, or T\raining." The term originated in the UK and has spread to other countries, like Japan. At first, it was just used for young people who were not employed, not engaged in housework, not enrolled in school or any work-related training, but eventually it even came to include "not seeking work." Some politicians these days say it's a problem, but that's how it always is with kids and their avocado toasts these days.

So if someone calls you NEET, it usually carries a negative connotation, like being called a mooch. Harsh! Hey, them's fighting acronyms! But seriously, who would actually want to rent a mooch for a day? Turns out that's us, I suppose.

With the decision made, we began our NEET rental research. Apparently there was a company made up of many NEETs who seek to become employed by starting new businesses. It's called NEET 株式会社 (NEET Inc.) and it was established in January, 2013.
