Feel like anybody telling you it will be easier to date in a foreign country where there will be a language and cultural gap should immediately come across to you as a bullshit artist.

People have shown their dating app matches, dudes were literally incels in America but getting woman-levels of attention in some poor asian country.

The privilege is real.

Dating. Not escorts or people seeking green cards or money.

talking about relationships, not one nigh stands, girls looking for tourists to rob/kidnap, Funyarinpa, or girls looking for a green card .

The gold digger concerns are massively overblown.

If some cute Japanese girl brought me home to parents I would have stayed tbh

Going into some stranger's home after some drinks sounds like human trafficking.

If you're white? Highly doubt. Black? Makes sense.

My friend got non-stop action in Japan. But, he's also tall, rich and attractive. If you're none of those things you'll be just as forever alone in Japan as you are here.

nah it was the morning after. i sincerely doubt she was into anything shady tho. she was shy af. i saw her eyeing me for like an hour before her friend came up and told me "my friend wants to tell you you're cute but she's nervous", and she got all red faced and hid in the corner lol

Why was your passport on you? I'd keep it in a hotel room

Japanese law apparently requires foreigners to carry their passport at all times, or at least used to. Not that I ever got pinged for not doing so while I was there.

you have to befriend their family

Pssh, I ain't doing that shit. I'll just be like "oh sorry, I'm just a bakka gaijin american tourist that is ignorant to that law. Please forgive me >_>" and the cop will be like "Arigato Neon-sama. Enjoy your stay in glorious Nipponland and may many beautiful Japanese titties find their way to you!" and then we bow to each other and go our separate ways on this journey we call life.

And then I still won't carry it and hope the same cop doesn't stop me again <_<

Iirc you could carry a copy of your passport with you

Maybe in a different country but unlikely in Japan. Japan is mostly safe. I dont think even the Yakuza really wants to mess with harming foreigners. It would bring unwanted attention from the law. I dont think Japan is very dangerous for kidnappings

See now I feel even more bad. Maybe she was just excited to tell her parents she met a man

i'm surprised Japanese universities aren't more prestigious?

What about black people? Should I visit I want to know what I, a 60 black guy should expect knowing 0 Japanese.

than Pick Up Artists want you to believe. You can't just to be a tall fit attractive white guy that speaks Japanese and expect to easily get a girlfriend.

Know the language and respect the customs and you are halfway there.

Japanese girls are more serious with relationships. If you get to complete date 3 they start asking if you are in a relationship.

I cant speak definitively for Japan on that front but I can tell you that generally speaking, living in Asia as a black person isnt always a picnic, and the Japanese are considered more closed-minded than most on that front. I wouldnt expect good things.

The Yakuza used to leave westerners alone but they do target them more than they used to. However, its mostly low level extortion, such as a pretty girl brings you into a bar via a lift, you have a drink or two and then scary men present you with a crazy bill and the lift isnt operational until you pay. Kidnappings are still not common, but the younger Yakuza dont see foreigners as off limits in the same way that the old guard did.
