What men discuss openly on forums is much more tame compared to what women gossip about in private. Having worked in industries dominated by women most of my life and overhearing what is said about men over lunch breaks, it is indeed frightening.
I'm currently working with only men (I'm the only girl), I've seen that gossip level between the two sexs is very equal. ^^
Yes, but you are French Tongue


Just Kidding!!! :O

Japan is too expensive for having a girlfriend. I advise you to look into the girlfriend business of Thailand and neighboring countries.

Does said person even have a high enough credit rating to get a girlfriend in Japan? What about the downpayment? We don't want to see a girlfriend market crash like in the USA where people were getting girlfriends they couldn't afford. Now so many girlfriends are underwater and worth a lot less than they were before. Those people will just have to wait until the market goes back up. Think twice before you get a girlfriend!

別々 all day! There are too many women in Japan for me to pay for all of them to eat and drink. Price of coffee sure why not but seriously I thought it was common at least in America and Japan to each pay for themselves. I'm not stingy with it if it's like a shabushabu or I ate more I round up my side of the bill . " I ate more so 2000 yen is fine" etc.

If you pay for them the first date you as a leader set precedent for you to always pay for her and she is just respecting your wishes. Don't do this women aren't worth it on the first date she isn't invested in you and you're not investe in her.

Paying all the time also makes it less meaning on an anniversary (if you get that far ) or anytime when you take her somewhere nice and pay.

Be classy not a walking mat and she will love you for it.

Also I wouldn't necromance (kinda) post without adding anything of value.

Ow! Nathan seems like an honest guy. I wonder which hand held the blooded baseball bat?

Sorry, sick joke. I watched like 90%. Why would he be in detention 24/7? Anyway, I know a few dads who have the same problem and Japan really is behind the times when it comes to this sort of thing.

One thing I really honestly believe about Japan is that you need to be careful when it comes to having children in Japan. As a foreigner male you have no rights - that's quite important if everything goes sour. Best to give it at least 5-6 years before even considering having children and then be damn sure you and her are super happy, otherwise you are in for a world of hurt post-divorce.

Then again, a lot of people probably jump ship on hearing the baby bell. You gotta be careful in this day and age - an unwanted baby with some random is a financial prison with a mean right hook. Better to stay protected and stay safe.

Pretty much all males both Japanese and foreign lose custody of children in divorce. It isn't a foreigner discrimination thing.

isn't it the same in the states? I rarely hear of men getting the kids. But I also don't know of all the families i know with single parents how many of the men actually wanted the babies and I'm sure there's more variables. Forget I said anything. I live with my mom.

Forgot something. In Japan, fathers don't even get visitation rights which is where the controversy stems from.

Herbivorous man make the job really easy. And they are not only in Japan. They are everywhere. Even here in Brazil. It is very rare to find unmarried attractive girls who are not single. Just by walking to a group of women and saying hello gives you a lot of respect.

Btw, if nanpa is number pickup, I don't know why one should be ashamed of it. Just avoid lonely women. Women in groups at first seem scarier, but they are much socially healthiear than lonely ones. Everybody likes pretty girls. Even girls. So if a pretty girl is lonely, there must be a problem with her.

Walking from your home to the bakery you'll find plenty of girls you'd like to meet.

Yea, I have heard fathers are supposed to just disappear from the child's life in the even of a divorce in Japan. As far as Nathan's daughter goes, she will most likely carry a deep anger towards her mother when she finds out the circumstances around why she could not see her father.

#Wink# I was talking about in any situation. (I'm just kidding right now, but above... yeah probably you're right. I guess it is because once your visa's gone, your gone. Hard luck, sort of. At least with the Japanese guys they can't get the flick to another country - that really is something when you think about it.)
