My simple guide on how to meet a girl on Tinder.

> The purpose of this guide is to get her on the phone so when you plan the meetup she feels much more comfortable and is less likely to flake. I don't think this guide is anything special but it clearly shows that texting is not optimal for building a ton of comfort.
>
> Your biggest enemy on Tinder is our attention spans. I've talked to many attractive girls on Tinder but their attention spans are razor thin and can easily be swept away by someone else. I'm guilty of doing this to girls as well. Your second biggest enemy as a male is your neediness. Seeming too thirsty or too impatient can be an immediate rejection. I believe showing patience shows insane abundance mentality. So anyway here's how I go about it.
>
> 1. Talk to your match, have fun
> I usually complement something I like about them and joke around. After some banter ask a question or two to see what they're like.
> 2. Get her number So after you've messaged back and forth and she seems cool I'll usually drop this line which is true for me in my case. " Hey! Let's swap numbers, I don't turn on push notifications on Tinder. Text me @ 75X-XXX-3333 " So this is my first checkpoint to see if she's on Tinder for validation or looking to hang. It's a yes or no answer and if she texts you, she's investing and you're coming off with the "Buyer's mentality."
> 3. CALL HER This is the most Key part! After she texts you, you need to figure out what is a good time to call this girl? I usually go with afternoons and late evenings. If she asks you a question or the conversation is in a place where it's your turn to reply. I will not text her back till the evening when I'm ready to call her. If she replies within an hour. I just straight up call her. Even if they're busy and can't talk they will end up calling you back. If you moved too fast she might reschedule the talk and say we should talk later, just reply back quickly with just, "Ok" to show that you're not too worried about it. Whenever I've done that they usually call me to say goodnight.
>
> Calling her allows you to show your off your voice that you are a guy. You could text each other for 3 weeks and not know as much about each other as 2 hours on the phone. And you'll know before the meetup if you guys are going to click really well or not. Every single time I've done this they've always thanked me for calling them and every single time I've done this they were the ones asking me out at the end of the night. I think it's fucking cool to call someone straight up. I get that rush of adrenaline and my heart races every time I'm about to call a girl for the first time which makes this part of the process for me really fun. Hope this helps someone

>>My problem with Tinder is that I get no matches at all... :|
> > > /u/Tttkkkkhhh:

>>>Location, pictures and culture can have a huge impact on matches.
>>>
>>>In Melbourne I got quite a few, in Japan less so, in Taiwan I'm swimming in matches.
>>>
>>>One girl in Taichung saw me at a night market, knew I would be on tinder so matched, met at a bar and chatted before I said "okay let's go". We jump on her scooter back to my hotel room.
> > > > /u/Gustav_Sirvah:

>>>>Heh... I wish have like that... :|
> > > > > /u/Tttkkkkhhh:

>>>>>You can. Anything is possible.
>>>>>
>>>>>If you saw the toothless, unfashionable, slob I used to be you'd be in awe. Everyone can change.
> > > > > > /u/Gustav_Sirvah:

>>>>>>I don't know how to make myself change. I know I should have no bad feelings and don't care about time and effort, but "just do". Why I'm thinking that I'm man of instant gratification? Why I can't be persistent in stuff that seems hard for me? I know I should do so many things to fix my life but I do nothing about that - feeling even worse. I know that I'm now complain. Heh, next thing to change. My whole life needs complete repair.
> > > > > > > /u/Tttkkkkhhh:

>>>>>>>Mine too mate. Most people are like us.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>Change is never one big step, it's a thousand little ones. One day you will realise how much you have changed.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>I recommend reading The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook. This book helped me realise things that I could fix, especially in my thinking.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>You can message me anytime if you need help.
> > > > > > > > /u/Gustav_Sirvah:

>>>>>>>>I need to look it less legal way (money, you know). I read some books but they just make me more sure that there's too much stuff to fix in my life...

Here is a study on a collection of anecdotes/surveys given by Japanese women who are into westerners, basically they viewed those men as a liberation from oppressive corporate and family structures. I only have the chance to read reviews from other scholars, and it's like what you said, some find certain aspects of life at home to be better.

Yes, they can be detained for 23 day periods, which can be renewed relatively easily if there is an ongoing investigation. I've read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Way-Justice-Prosecuting-Studies/dp/019511986X

It talks about the Japanese justice system (comparing it to the US) and pros and cons.

I read it and it think very highly of what the Japanese justice system accomplishes, it's a very different approach than the US and I think the US could learn a lot from that system. At the same time, there are a lot of US culture virtues that'd really get in the way of implementation of some key features.

Refusal to acknowledge Ainu/Okinawan culture... not entirely sure I understand what you are talking about, but also pretty sure I don't care. Most conflict between the main gov't and Okinawa has centered on the US's poor manners as guests on the island and/or the forced occupation of the island under US law for quite a while. It's really not a whole lot different than what I understand of the US forcing it's way into control of Hawaii. Ultimately, from what I have followed of the matter, I get the impression that the main Japanese gov't does make an Ernest effort to rectify the situation, but the US is an ass and doesn't make a genuine effort to move.

Discrimination against Zainichi Koreans... this is a can of worms, but at the same time if the Koreans don't naturalize then I blame them for not naturalizing. If you embrace the culture and demonstrate genuine interest in their way of doing things most welcome you. Zainichi Koreans refusal to naturalize is kind of a big 'fuck you' in that regard.

Excellent choice.

If you are a Brit you may balk at this, but this is my favorite tartar from a local chain in and around Seattle. Good shit.

How, you ask? The guy has the answer!

> Oi vey. The well-documented and well-recorded analysis about hokkaido culture being half-western and half-japanese in the sense that you have SOME Individuality but not complete individuality. the collectivity is in check over there but not to the point where its not present. many people who have analyzed the culture of hokkaido claim this is true, are you refuting that research?

On and his research consists of this book which he claims to have read and shown him the truth. He's never actually been to Hokkaido.

Got to admit, that even though you posted the answer as the first reply, immediately after posting the question, the riddle was quite challenging.

Or by "find", did you mean "find a copy"? In which case, this.

THIS truly is the JCJ BIBLE.

Or the true Roppongi bible: Asian MILF Hunting: Seducing Older Married Asian Women (The Definitive Guide to Asian Girls Book 3)

I'm taking a class on linguistic imperialism at a Japanese university right now. If you're legitimately interested in the topic, there's a good book called Resisting Linguistic Imperialism in English Teaching.

Of course, not all English teachers are actively trying to shove Western culture down their students' throats or promote the superiority of their language over others. That's taking the point to Tumblr levels of silliness. But it's also silly to claim that language teaching is a totally apolitical act with no connection to the centuries of Western imperialism that made the world what it is today. There are a lot of reasons why English is being taught all over the world, not all of them pure, not all of them sinister.

I don't think there's any grand conspiracy to promote English education in order to trample other languages, but it's hard to deny that the current status of English benefits the core English speaking countries.

Please note, if you cannot afford this book, try Nanpa: A Beginner's Guide to the Japanese Art of Girl-Hunting, How to Meet and Date Japanese Women: Megabook (Japanese Interracial Dating Series 3), or How to Get a Japanese Girlfriend!

Someone should recommend this book to her.

I want people to see what I'm reading: She comes first!

I see he read this...self defense manual
