I paid to use EVERY dating app in Japan for 1 month

This is my brutally honest review of trying online dating in Japan. After filming, I kinda hesitated whether or not I should upload this, but figured it would be a waste not to share my experience. How have dating apps been for y'all? Hopefully better than me...

More videos coming soon!

I was in the suburbs of Tokyo and told a pretty girl her dog was cute and that got a conversation going. Even something like that is better than dating apps.

dating apps are cancer. even if you manage to meet with someone in person the vibe check rarely works out.

like you say - better to just randomly meet people in your social circle and/or doing things you enjoy.

My experience:
Tinder (premium): bots and few matches
Bumble (premium): lots of matches (with professional pics taken) but girls were only interested in casual hookups

Brutha, you seem like a nice guy and genuine to boot. So please don’t take this the wrong way ok……..GO There’s literally more bars and all night Izakayas than you can count!!! Go be personal, work on your social skills and PURSUE them a little bit but not in a creepy way. There’s literally droves of women there looking to be pursued just a little bit by guys but Japanese dudes aren’t giving that to them. Go out and practice your game a little, because GAME has no language barrier. It’s just a bit of confidence/charisma . If you can speak a bit of Japanese and you have a fairly good sense of confidence/humor you can SLAY out there as a westerner! And if your bedroom game is locked down you’ll even have the gaijin hunters blowing up your phone after what you thought was a one night stand. Then YOU can decide who you want to be with instead of waiting for someone to choose you like you’re doing on those apps. Go outside and make a decision for yourself

Great video bro! About the whole ''dating game'' dont give up bro, its all about having confidence in who you are. be truly yourself and remember you dont need another person to make you happy. Thats the key main step to raise your confidence.

In Japan, you don’t need an app. You just need to mingle and have fun.

Good on ya for having the confidence to share your experiences. You definitely ain't alone in the phenomena you're experiencing. It's become very difficult for "nice", socially polite guys to find something of value in the modern dating space. It can happen, I've seen it, it's heartening when it does, but it's not the norm. The culture has immensely changed from our parent's time even.

The loneliness can be depressing but you've gotta learn to be happy with your own company and other good friends. Self improvement is good but don't do it strictly for other people. Don't pay money for these apps, it's a complete waste - don't get in your head too much, dwelling on rejection ain't the way to go. Stay healthy, don't watch porn, relentlessly pursue a skill and keep good company. Things will improve from there.

Stay strong bro, im feeling you and wish you the best, some day we will found the one, until then keep progress by improving your skills, intellect, income, look, close relationships with friends and family focus on what is really important and your life going to be much better, i am wishing you the best!

Glad you did the paid version and hey, at least you TRIED. No one gets anywhere w/o taking the shot. I have taken many shots in my life and missed a bunch ... but also landed a good number as well.

[annefagit]

Worth adding: outside of the major metropolitan areas in Japan most dating apps die an absolute death because (as best I can tell) the girls don't feel anonymous enough to use them without feeling "exposed".
I cycled through a range of paid apps in Shizuoka (most of the ones in this video actually) and the results were poor to dire - especially Tinder, the population of users is so low that as long as you can spot bots you don't even need to pay because you'll be lucky to find 10 legit possible matches per day

[DeusaRem]

Cheers from Brazil, brother! Much love!

[honeybro]

Ur eyes look dead man 😭😭😭😭😭You ok man?

[messagekl]

Dating apps are always a waste of time and money, just go outside socialize or cold approach

[kent.anagor]

aye brother, jsut wanted to say thnaks fo the vid man, I watch it all the way through, i def undertnad the feeling of being alone, and wanitn to change that, just wanted to say its good you have been putting yourself out there even though it's never easy, and ill also be cheering you on man, keep on

[DanielBlak]

Looks like bro has to go to Indonesia/Philippines judging from his global matches

[mizore]

Actually with Bumble it's way easier to get a date in Japan than in Europe... still difficult for an average guy, but at least doable.

[KizombaFusion]

In a very unfortunate way for you mate, this video was actually quite funny. Keep going buddy!

[World_of_VI]

Why do Japanese girls ghost every conversation?? It happens a lot on dating apps

[bluasterisk]

Yep dating apps are like 3-7 with the guys being the majority, take that into account if you are in the population of Tokyo as well. One thing I notice on Japanese apps is that girls are more so expecting other Japanese, but are even more inclined if you have money and you're also tall. I gotta say I do like that Japanese apps have everything more laid out and you don't go swiping endlessly, but you can keep scrolling instead. What is nice is that if you like games and anime, its very likely thats normal and common to Japanese women too. Though don't be too surprised if they block you instead of telling you they aren't feeling it.
