Why Text Game Is A Waste Of Time In Japan

By Kaku Nanashi


I operate in person, not over text.

More often than not, attempting to get a Japanese girl interested in your man meat by texting with her is doomed to failure. Unless you've met her off a dating site where j-girls troll for sex, chances are no amount of wireless communication is going to get her moistened up for you if she isn't already. You will learn this when you ask her to meet you for drinks after a week of texting, only to find out that her great aunt once removed suffered a minor cardiac infarction and she can't make the date. Or the next one.

Eastern girls are glued to their phones much like every other first world female. Line, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram -- it's all just "Male Validation for iOS" to them if they're not serious about getting on your dong. They also do not have pastimes other than dieting and shopping, so I assume that they do not mind loading up their considerable idle time with text exchanges that go nowhere.

I understand that some lotharios like to stay in semi-constant contact with their stable of lovers, but that is a completely different situation from chatting with a girl whom you haven't slept with yet. Unless she's sending you nudes, what's the point? Chances are any girl who continues to chat with you despite always being "busy" when you ask her out is just milking you for validation. If you enjoy idle chit chat, then tap away at your iPhone to your heart's content. Just remember that the time you spend exchanging meaningless bits and bytes could be spent doing something more fulfilling.

If texting/emailing/LINE chatting is your only available means of connecting with a female, that is a different story. Nonetheless, I have yet to discover an on the internet dating scheme in Japan that does not extremely favor white/black people (I'm Asian), so I will not discuss such interaction. I will state that it's still possibly a great idea to obtain the woman off her phone and into an izakaya with you quicker as opposed to later on.
