Can I Get Girls In Japan If I Can't Speak Japanese?

By Kaku Nanashi


Japanese communication skill is not absolutely vital to score yourself a Japanese girl. I am acquainted with more than a few lotharios in Tokyo who can scarcely decipher the menu at a Japanese restaurant, but take home women with astonishing frequency. Anyone would be startled at precisely how far a couple of phrases in addition to a ton of gestures and grabby-handing can go.

However, if you think you can get away with speaking only English, think again. The fact of the matter is that most of the beautiful girls you see out in Tokyo can't English their way out of a paper bag. If conversing with you is too difficult, they typically won't be sticking around long enough for you to work your magic.

Japanese-English speaking proficiency will give you the opportunity to game pretty much any girl you see in Japan, native or non. And since most foreigners here can't speak much Japanese, you will differentiate yourself from the pack of come-and-go English teachers and foreign exchange students who didn't bother to pick up a copy of "Japanese for Busy People". In the world of dating, even and especially in conformist societies like Japan, standing out from the crowd in a positive way is always beneficial.

Also consider that the majority Japanese girls will be most comfortable speaking in their mother tongue. Speaking in an acquired language is a mentally demanding activity, and, sadly, young Japanese girls are not known for their intellectual vigor. If you want a girl to stick around for more than a few nights, you need at least some nihongo skills.

For those of you who still aren't motivated to learn Japanese, consider the following. If you don't speak Japanese, you will need to find girls who speak English. These girls congregate in certain foreigner-heavy areas (e.g., Roppongi) and tend to be a bit...wilder than their non-English speaking counterparts. They are also in high demand because most foreigners don't speak much Japanese. A scarce resource in high demand means fierce competition.

A caveat for the language geeks: Japanese girls will not go home with you simply because you're bilingual. You could have a doctorate in Japanese language studies, but if you look more like a chump than a champ, you'll be going home alone.

In closing, you don't need to understand Japanese in order to get girls in Japan, but being able to will make the progression much simpler. If you intend on being in Japan for longer than several weeks, you should consider hitting your local language center.

Don't forget, "Come help me study" is really a terrific excuse to bring a girl to your place.
