[balki1867]

Never been to Japan, but if they look anything like their soccer team... I don't blame the dudes... Or maybe it was dudes on the soccer team... hmmmm

 

I'll put it this way.  I've never had the Asian obsession that some dudes have, but the two times I went to Tokyo for work: WOW.

[Destino]

uhm yup.... there are absolutely no pretty women in Japan.

It's up to us to go over to Japan and start slanging ****

Someone set up the GoFundMe

And don't tell my girl

I was stationed there from 2002-2005 and have been back a few times since.  I always did my part.  And then some.

I believe we need pics of Japanese hotties at this point. For research purposes of course.

the statute of limitations on my memory is somewhere between 5 and 10 years.  If it happened earlier than that, then it is all inferred innuendo, as far as my mind is concerned

Meet the Lonely Japanese Men in Love With Virtual Girlfriends

 

Some Japanese men are wooing girlfriends who don’t exist. While they can only interact with their partner through a pre-written script, these virtual beauties — Rinko, Manaka or Nene — offer a kind of instant emotional connection at the tap of a stylus. The girls can kiss, “hold” a player’s hand, exchange flirtatious text messages and even snap out in anger if the player leaves a conversation. It’s one of Japan’s biggest gaming phenomenons called Love Plus – available on the Nintendo portable consoles and the iPhone.

 

“There is no friction in these relationships, obviously,” says Loulou d’Aki, a Swedish photographer who documented a number of Japanese players earlier this year. “The girls behave very sweetly with the guys in what they say, how they respond to them, and with big eyes and heart-shaped faces—who wouldn’t want that?”

 

D’Aki teamed up with Swiss science writer Roland Fischer and together, they sought to go beyond the existing online conversation. “When you Google ‘Japan’ and ‘love’, you find all these articles about lonely people who never get married,” she says. “I didn’t want to reduce it to that. I wanted to show the human aspect, the individual stories behind those who use these applications.”

 

Her images reveal the secret lives of thirty-somethings who have accepted living alone instead of looking for love. They share a common yearning for connection and found it on a touch screen. Many see it as just a game and can easily distinguish between the computerized and reality, while others are perpetually stuck in a love loop, desperately waiting for the next update of the game.

 

One player holds a picture of him and his virtual girlfriend, Manaka, at a resort town called Atami, which caters to players on a weekend retreat programmed into the game. Another 48-year-old player spends one of many nights alone in his one-bedroom apartment with his console, chatting with Manaka, his e-girlfriend of five years.

Like the movie "Her."

[Bang]

That's pathetic.

How can that many people be so socially awkward?

I think people have always been socially awkward, but now with today's social media, more people are able to express how socially awkward they really are.

Lonely Men Buying Curry Because It Comes With A Fake Girlfriend

 

The name of the item says it all: Men’s Delusion Curry. This is the latest product offered by Village Vanguard, a novelty book shop, located in Tokyo. A 2014 study of Japanese single men concluded that, more than anything, they sought a girlfriend who would cook for them. The food item at the top of that list was curry. With market research like that, one doesn’t need to be a rocket scientist to come up with the idea for a way to scratch two itches at once. Hence, the birth of an orange-flavored instant curry that just so happens to come with a DVD of a sexy Japanese model who will pretend to be your girlfriend.

 

 

The featured actress is this DVD is Mao Harada, nicknamed Haradan, a 27-year-old gravure model. If you’re unfamiliar with gravure, it is basically softcore porn, showing beautiful women running around in bikinis. In the case of Haradan, part of her fame is, no doubt, associated with the t-shirts she sells, which feature her breasts and cleavage being exposed. But with Delusion Curry, she’s found a whole new audience.
