"heyyyyyy, how are yo-...." "I have a boyfirend." LOL

so the conclusion is girls are complicate no matter where is she from

As someone who lived and worked in Japan for 4 years, this is all true 😂 Got many LINE IDs but you get left on read if she’s not interested. Also if a Japanese girl likes you, expect her to say she LOVES you. They don’t have the same concept of gradual progression of attraction like in US/Canada. Both of the girls I dated in Japan confessed to me that they loved me after the first date. It surprised me but I liked it. Also you know you’re dating a Japanese woman when: She brings you many gifts like Japanese snacks and candies, especially to bring to your family Also may cook things like Yakisoba for you. She can be very possessive. They don’t like “playboys” (and foreign guys have that stereotype) In public, Japanese people are not very touchy but in private, you are very close/have a lot of skin-ship. Don’t expect a lot of PDA, although the two I dated were exceptions. If she loves you, she is VERY loyal. She will be impressed if you like Japanese food and she might want to see your reaction to trying natto (なっと)🤮

Man: Wanna get married? Japanese Woman: Uh, sure... 1 year anniversary: Is this a bad time to tell him I'm not interested???

I dated a Japanese girl for 6 years... she was fkn nuts.. she still is nuts

I'm a Japanese woman and this video is accurate! Please make a video, you know when you are dating a Japanese woman when...

I’m a Japanese woman. I’ve never be like that. I am pretty straight forward. And try to be honest :)

Marina you and Yui NAILED this! I say this from experience: Western men have to become mind readers, learning to watch very small, subtle, indirect signals from Japanese women in order to win them over. In my experience they literally want you to guess accurately what they are thinking or feeling. Which is very VERY difficult since Japanese are not only trained to be polite, they are also trained to not show very much emotion around people they don't know well...particularly ANY kind of negative emotion, and especially in public. Additionally, that point about making a first date a "group date" where several friends go do something together...is often a way for a Japanese woman to feel more comfortable evaluating the foreign man. Japanese people place a lot of importance on doing things as a bonded group of people. The best way for a foreign guy to get an opening into a Japanese woman's heart is for him to build warm relationships with her "group". Whatever group. Friends. Co-workers. Family. etc., etc., etc. Also, it takes Japanese people much, much longer to fully evaluate a person and decide if they want to slowly inch toward a one-on-one relationship. Reason: Japanese people are trained from birth to be extremely meticulous, extremely careful, and to take everything into account before making a decision about certain things. Finally: That part about asking her dad (and mom) for permission to date his daughter with the goal of MARRIAGE...Marina and Yui aren't kidding. One will literally have to ask her father for her hand. OH...one last thing. Sometimes the eldest son (the girls older brother) will need to be asked permission, too. And you will NEED to get nice gifts, properly wrapped, for the Dad and the brother, of EQUAL value...better yet, the VERY SAME ITEM. Giving the dad something better than the brother...will totally insult the brother. GREAT JOB on this video! Very VERY accurate.

Watching this makes me appreciate my German wife even more. No double talk, everything is always transparent, just the way I like it.

that’s probably the reason why Japan’s birth rate is so atrociously low

As a Japanese woman, this video is exactly why I do not get along with most Japanese women and ran away to a different society... if it seems crazy and demanding and guessing-game enough just from one video, but living among this every single day, and even as a woman among other Japanese women..... no thanks.

Never ask a fish how to fish

Please can you make a video on you know you are dating a Japanese woman when...

As a Westerner, the whole guessing game thing sounds like a huge hassle. Because for us that's being dishonest. For example, if he hadn't given her the scarf, he would have lost points with her, even though he DID show concern for her comfort by repeatedly asking about it. It's not his fault she literally lied, so that's not fair to him. I understand it's a cultural thing, it just might be hard for Western guys to adjust.

1. Be attractive 2. Have lots of money 3. Don't be unattractive.

I must confess that, i have many funny stories with my japanese ex-girlfriend she is a great woman, I am from Honduras our cultural differences, made our relationship something unique! although i like my life as a bachelor, it's hard for me to stop thinking about it, but I'll always wish her the best, this video is so accurate but they can say no! hahah thanks!

Crongratulations for your channel Marina. I can see you put a Lot of effort to provide a good content.

I LOVE this topics of yours! I hope you continue this! hehe BTW, may I request for Tips on Attracting a FINNISH WOMAN? thanks!

"The Julien Blanc approching" I DIED XD

The presenter is so geogous,better than all the other woman.She transmits warmpth,intelligence,understanding,comes across so natural.

I always enjoy your videos, Marina 😘

As a person who has lived in Japan, I think people are taking this "guessing game" the wrong way. Japanese people tend to avoid direct statements, especially with rejection or negative answers. To circumvent this, they try to drop hints so you can get their meaning. They also do this to help you save face since a rejection could look bad for the person who was rejected. For example: A Japanese person may say something like "You must be tired after this long day" to insinuate you should go to bed. I also want to mention that they don't do this to play games like many women do in the west. The intent for these "Guessing games" is to help you save face and not be rude. It can be difficult to tell sometimes but I assure you, it is done with good intentions.

This was great! Funny and informative. :)

haha no body contact...which is why Latin men and Japanese girls dont mix :)

I think when 2 strangers dates together, they have to adapt to each other culture. But I guess it depends in what country you date. Dating a Japanese woman in Japan means adapt to the Japanese codes. But dating a Japanese woman outside will be pretty different: she will have to adapt to the country's code where she is otherwise her dating life will be pretty tough.

Merry Xmas to the Dating Beyond Borders team/family. lmao...I like this comedy video concept. Kinda reminded me of Smoking gun presents... in a way. The Japanese culture is definitely a unique one. I can tell from this video relationships may not be so common like those in the western culture but are definitely more serious involving commitments from both parties. I just hope communication isn't a problem with Japanese ladies constantly expecting their men to guess what they want or need.

I dated a wonderful Japanese woman. She explained the concept of "aimai" which sort of translates to "ambiguity." She said, "Yes, we like that." It's not dishonesty. It's polite to be indirect. Another Japanese friend explained that the culture considers it refined to be able to discern what another is meaning by their actions or words. But my girlfriend also explained that with other nihonjin, she often doesn't really know what is going on in a conversation in terms of the person's intention. Complicated.

Bloody loved this video so hilarious and informative 😂😂😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Dominant guys = what Japanese women love. We (like 90% of us) are submissive so a lot of girls love dominant guys... and a lot of Japanese girls like foreigners so if you are a non-Japanese person living in Japan that’s like a bonus lmao

Hey Yui! Great video!

I like the fact that you talk about many different countries! :)

Such good production in these tips vids, really funny too, more please. Brazil tips?

subtitles in Portuguese please! I love this channel ❤

" The Julien Blanc" approaching had me laughing so hard that I cried 😂😂😂😂

i love this video.. i want more videos like that

You are so excellent Marina. I watch all kinds of your videos. They are so good-natured and funny.

I about fell out on the floor laughing with the Julien Blanc approach. Love me some Julien but yeah I can see him doing that.

As a single guy, I just spent time laughing at the vid more than picking up tips, its funny as hell! xD

Best comment in the whole video at the end " is there and app to tell me what she is thinking" I want one of those for all women! Cheers

This is pretty much true since I do live in Japan. But of course different places in Japan vary. For example, in Okinawa because it’s very U.S. Military populated, the women really think differently. Like almost opposite from mainland. They tend to think more westernized and because A LOT of military men go after them, they actually have to be a bit more aggressive then most Japanese women.

The thing that I keep seeing over and over again in countless dating videos and no matter how I try not to is this. Every other culture besides America and especially Los Angeles has some sort of quality that allows progress and potential in dating, even when there is not.

I think this video is great, you should show more of this of other women countries too.

I am recommending this to my friend who love Nippon girls and he is from Romania

So what does this all have to do with Poland?

That “back up” bit had me Rolmfao 😂😂😂

I can tell that the Japanese girl is feeling even the girl sitting next to her right now is too close Her body is tilting the other side😂😂😂

The guessing where she wants to eat is pretty universal. My GF doesn't know where she wants to eat, she only knows where she doesn't want to eat. So it just ends with me suggesting places until she agrees to one of them.

I have been with a Japanese woman before and honestly the best way to approach them is simply being polite, considerate and have the ability to read air (atmosphere, mood, setting). Polite can be small things like returning the question she asked you. Keep the conversation open ended and listen intently what she is saying and make a conversation out of it. Considerate can be little things too like opening the door for her, walking on the car side of the sidewalk, pulling her chair out. Want to take it further? Offer her some of your food if you're out to lunch or dinner. That is a huge bonus. Reading air is important too because it ties to being considerate. She isn't talkative today? Ask what's wrong. She seems tense, worried, etc. Tell her that you're there to listen and if need be, give help. Guys, I have to say Japanese women (and any women) just want to be treated with kindness and respect. Bonus tip: Keep your talents a secret and surprise her about them. For example, good at cooking? Suggest that you will cook lunch instead of eating out. Good at sports? Suggest doing an activity that shows off your skills. Play an instrument? Show her.

When you got to the part that said "The Date" before that, how the heck do you get to that part if you can't even be in the same neighborhood with her it looks like..

Marina, thank you for the video and this is something new for me to learn on Japanese 🇯🇵 women if I were to ever date one. I do find the Japanese 🇯🇵 women very beautiful and I would love to visit the country of Japan 🇯🇵 if I ever get travel over there. Happy Holidays to you Marina and your family 🎅🏻🤶🏻🌲🕎. Looking beautiful in red as the song "Lady in red" came to my mind during the video 😂😍.

I feel bad for Japanese men....

You are always wonderful!

Yui, you are so nice and sweet, thank you for sharing your culture with us😊

Best strategy = don’t think about it, just be yourself and enjoy whatever you’re doing and they will come to you. This has been my experience anyway.

I got to meet my husband on JapanCupid

Like your videos. Please do dating a Norwegian woman. I would be leaving for Norway in the next two years

This video helped me. I'm dating a Filipina-Japanese right now, and she's showing some behaviours that seems very alien to my side.

This is really awosem and can you post more vidoe about Japan

Interesting and fun as always, Marina. Great,lighthearted enjoyable channel. Keep up the good work! All the best from England.

When will you do a you know you're dating a Japanese woman video

It is so accurate!!! It is exactly what happened to me :O

Thanks Marina! Great video! I think I might be part Japanese. Lol😉

This is a great video. That japanese woman is real cute too. I been to okinawa once and it was real nice. I would go back if I had the chance.

Your partner there looks like Mulan. O.o The guessing game is one more reason why I prefer the outspoken, easygoing Irish women, though. :P

OH MY GOD. you so nailed my exact experience. never rejected flat out. also i could tell by their eyes and reaction if they were interested or just being nice. am i wrong? the ones that were interested had smiles so big, i thought their face was going to break. and they were saying something to their girlfriends in a very excited way.

5:21 this scene really called me and my (Japanese) girlfriend out🙈 She indeed rather insists that I make the plans for us

This makes me happy to see that Japanese women are not that much less stressful than Chinese women.

From a JAPANESE GUY: just be yourselves. If you have to follow someone else's cultural customs then it's inevitably going to end because it will just get old- just like her.

Anyone no the title of the beat Minute 5:33

Great video. However, I am not sure if I date a Japanese girl. 🤔🙂😀

I'm Portuguese American and I think shy japanese girls are the best. Their eyes and pronunciation are so かわいい。 ❤

I’m a girl, but watching for fun 😂

Can you do on what women from other countries

Gotcha this western approaching so truth lol i just a bit weird with that super open mind but i would said isn’t only japan but all of asian women 😂 and a super huge guessing game !! Hahah

Can you do one on arab an european women pls?

Julien Blanc huh ? Maybe you could learn a thing or 2 about dating from him. Still love the humor from the videos

I actualy like this guessing game

I’ve lived in Japan for two years and I haven’t went on one date. Plus, it probably didn’t help that I have ADHD and came off as off putting

Maybe I’m looking at this wrong, is this for foreigners who already live in Japan?

this is the funniest ..with all innuendos kkkkkk

Yes, from experience, quite a few of these are true. The guesswork and lack of straightforwardness is somewhat exasperating at times. They can be very nice and show intentions clearly but it doesn’t necessarily mean they want a relationship. Japanese women are somewhat of a mystery and one very few can crack. Good luck.

Cool thanks

I couldn't do the guessing game, that would get old and frustrating real fast. I'm a straight shooter and it's nice to have that in return. It's very interesting learning about other cultures...

I don't get the body contact part

Can you do on western and arab women? Pls

As someone who has dated women I can say that regardless of her Nationality there is a lot of body language. If a woman wants you around or she wants you gone you should pick up on that quick.

Can you do same for Russian

still waiting on ' you know when u are dating Japanese women ' would love to see one as i have dated one '' was unusual experience ' so please

Japanese women for me is one of the most beautiful faces I've ever seen.Their faces is so innocent and cute.

0:18 music bgm?

That's nice

I'm Spanish, can you make a video on tips about dating Spanish women? 3:15 lmao

Dating Beyond Borders should make their own dating site.

What if she is Bu-Shin?

Spent a year and a half there way back in the day , it helps if you have friend from Japan to act as a wing man if not good luck with that p.s. learn some Japanese

Be white be rich be tall

Much respect

I dont like people to touch me either neither come to me flirting randomly. I think that's gross. So i like to take the first step. Great video!!

Hey Stiffler... She said no touchy touchy!

I love the content. But as usual with DBB videos they make it completely impossible to read the text bc of extreme speed. Views could go up 500% if they learned to slow down
