Dating Tips #6 The Survey Says…
Hi there everyone, Chris here as always. Â Christmas is getting closer and closer…so I am going to Hawaii! Â Just going for a few days on business, but I should be back in a few days. Â Japan has a strange love of all things Hawaii. Â There are a surprising amount of Japanese men who are interested in the ukelele and it is very likely you know someone who knows someone learning hula dance. Â And Japanese kids are obsessed with Stitch of Lilo and Stitch fame (which is odd because where I am from it is a rather forgettable movie). Â Like I said, I am going to there for work, but I am hoping for a little beach time and a chance to visit Pearl Harbor. Â Here is another free tip – if you have any sense, don’t use Pearl Harbor as a way to start up conversation.
Anyway, down to brass tacks. Â My friend forwarded me a survey on “The Habits that Make a Guy Look Like a Loser” that I found kind of interesting. Â It is pretty self explanatory, but it is basically a survey of women who were asked about what they find unpopular about men.

If don’t recommend reading the comments…they are a little…..crude.
But anyway, the article does shed light on some interesting points. Â Basically the big strikes are gaming, drinking, anime and idol worship. Â A lot of people come to Japan as “otaku”. Â And hey, if you are an otaku, you are an otaku. Â You’ll still have more luck than a Japanese guy simply because you look foreign and the idea of a foreigner who likes Japanese things is appealing as long as you don’t go overboard.
No woman, especially a Japanese woman, is interested in a guy who seems to spend all of his free time in his apartment watching tv or playing games. Â Simply put, if you want to get a Japanese girlfriend you have to be interesting – for some people being foreign is enough. Â For others, like me, you have to have some kind of interesting hobby to make you look like you have some kind of an interest in living. Â So even if it is not something you ever thought you would be interested in, join a club, take up an outdoor hobby, develop a talent. Â Don’t just rely on being foreign because, well if a girl is dating you on the sole basis of you being foreign, do you really want to date her?
That’s all for now.
