Guys guys guys. Lets make a trip. Everybody get to LAX and we'll share a plane to Tokyo and then comfort the crying masses of girls who just can't compete.
Dude, I'm so in. Do you think not being able to speak a word of Japanese would count too much against me?

But what about procreation!? The Japanese as a race will die out, then who's culture will we steal?! D:
Well thats easy, theyll simply create some sort of organic life form cloning container which you insert your DNA into by "certain means" and cover it with a flesh like layer which can take the form of their virtue love, then they simply download the personality and bingo. See, easy, for the Japanese anyway. Theyll all be clones after a few decades but it will make remembering faces easier.

I realize this is tragic, seeing as how there are certain.."benefits" that a real woman would have over a virtual counterpart...But would it be wrong for me to go to Japan and take advantage of the insecure Japanese women?


Im a terrible person, and I should feel bad.

Only in Japan. I just cannot grasp the appeal in these titles. Must be a cultural thing. I know some women can feel inferior when looking at airbrushed models but virtual girlfriends? Really?
Because in our culture, men have NEVER felt somehow incapable of competing with various sex toys like vibrators?

Although it's a pretty stupid thing to be concerned with, in my opinion. There's only this much a virtual person with no real intelligence can be, same thing for sex toys. If you're interested in just things they provide, that's cool and you probably aren't looking for a relationship in the first place. If you're interested in human relationship, they will not be enough.

I hope they only mean if the characters were real people with those conveniently written personality traits.

If not, cross the pacific, we will appreciate you.

The key line to take away is this "Responding to a question as to whether they were confident could win over their dating game playing boyfriend from virtual girl in a dating game, 53 percent said they were not confident they could. The remaining 47 percent said they were confident they could.". The question was do these girls think they have a better personality then one that is programed by a team of computer programmers, not 53% can't get a date because all the boys are playing dating simulators. These woman are still getting dates but its becoming harder for people in general to date other people. This more a story about impossible standards and how computers are making it harder for people to see and accept the faults in other people. Also, don't think this doesn't happen in the states I know for a fact a female friend of mine has blown off dates before so she could have virtual dates with the same person in the Sims. This is more universal then people want to believe. The better we get at mimicking real human emotion and interaction the more we want from real life interaction with people.

Also all you people who think the cure is to fly over and whoo yourself a hot asian girl. Keep on dreaming. If you have a hard time getting a girlfriend here you're still going to have a hard time getting a girl anywhere else. Your personality, employment status and looks factor into the decision on if a girls going to date you or not. A girl doesn't go "damn, all the Japanese boys have computer girlfriends I guess I'll go date that clammy looking white guy who I don't understand at all and who's only here to pick up on desperate chicks". Btw easier and cheaper way to find desperate girls it's called a bar at around 1:30 in the morning. Don't kid yourself saying you're going to pick up girls with damaged self esteem makes you the same kinda asshole you all hated in highschool. You know the jerk who had the hot girlfriend and always talked down to her. Taking advantage of a girl with damaged self esteem is an asshole move no mater who you are or what the reason.

In the end can we all grow up and see this is a sad issue not just in Japan but all around. So remember this article next time you wanna give a girl grief about not being perfect.

Who says? This is a chart of births vs. deaths
This isn't counting immigrants but 98.5% of Japan is Japanese so therefore they are starting to get negative population growth.
I honestly don't understand where you're going with that. If anything, doesn't this support the opinion that Japan is fucked up...?
I was trying to say Japan is fucked

Ah, yet another article written to further the illusion that Japan is some morally messed up country. The propaganda machine didn't switch off in the forties I see. You could take these comments from the women and apply them to a survey about general women's views on pornstars, models, or women in Western comic books. The article here as has put words in these women's mouths. They aren't threatened or fearful, nor are they feeling inferior. They are simply commenting on the lack of realism found in that game's portrayal of women, and relationships.

Why is that a countries like the USA can have moronic eating contests, people getting married in computer games, all kinds of crazy stuff and stupid popculture, YET there's never a single condescending article. You take anything out of context (usually intentionally) and ANYTHING looks strange and unsual. Half the rubbish that is reported on here is blown out of proportion. For example, some geeks personal love for a character leads him to 'marry' her, and it becomes apparently indicative of the morals of the nation! It was reported on here in Japan too! POeple here thought it was messed up! And the wedding wasn't even LEGAL or OFFICIAL. It was just for fun, something that the article here intentionally failed to mention.

I assure you that that is not the case. Japanese women are some of the most strong willed around. This article is painting a false picture, shifting the context from the simple - "What do you think of the female stereotypes seen in this game?", which is clearly what the survey was about.

I think a lot of these women are talking from the perspective of emotion and appearance, not the total ratio of awesomeness between a woman and a videogame.

In essence, these women have perfect emotions and physical appearances.

?Their personalities are nice and they have no flaws. Complete perfection.?

?There?s no way I can beat that level of cuteness.?

I don't think they believe the videogame can actually outdo them when everything is taken into account.

?The girl in a game can?t offer the human warmth a real woman can.?
But don't you know? Video Games > Sex!

Haven't you ever heard of the "Shiny Pidgey [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/shiny-pidgey]" meme?

Uber i totally agree. Their are messed up people every and the people here tonight want to sit high and mighty and judge while misreading the question. It's not like the US has its sects of really out there people like polygamist marring off 14 year old girls.
