Love Plus can serve as good practice for having a real girlfriend, says someone with no girlfriend.
Quoth Asahi:
One 21-year-old Tokyo salaryman was buying goods at a seaside fireworks show. It was his third time there, he said: “It’s fun experiencing the game world together with the real one.”
He has a girlfriend in the game now, but no real one. “I think this might be good practice for when I can get a real girlfriend” he says. He intends to spend more time at a hotel next month with another Love Plus player.
Whilst it has often been called an “alternative” to real women, this is perhaps the first time it has been called mere practice for one.
Just whether any of this practice at doting over a DS is any use in securing a real mate is quite another question.

Japanese women know how to please a man because they practice on the Nintedo Wii system not on the Nintedo DS also Sony Move coming soon I am sure Japanese women will buy that system also because the controller looks like a vibrator with a blue ball on it.
Practice for a real girlfriend? So I guess the game has the option of turning your girlfriend into cash vampire.
Practice for 2d wife .. wait 3ds is coming. Then 3D desu
I feel really sorry for the losers who take their DS on fucking dates and shit.
that man is a bachelor for life
(he just doesn't know it yet,lol)
He should try the elementary schools. They don't know you're supposed to spend money on them first.
(Yeah, Agnes. This is sarcasm. Not a real suggestion).
"with another player" so that means he bi sexual!!!!!!
Its like they say, "Luck with game, Unlucky with love"
Its really all the japanese bitches faults. Outside the extreme otaku basket cases who don't have a chance to begin with, the half of japan's male population who hold the lower paying jobs are shunned by women entirely. Konami doesn't have a problem with this, they're taking advantage of it and making profit. But its almost a sort of pity for the poor guys. The girls need to stop being so bitchy and picky about men. Laughing at people who "resort" to this Love Plus is like laughing at someone who masturbates because they can't get real sex (regardless of the reason). It's an alternative, that is all.
Not that I play love plus or have a girlfriend, but really, they asked for it, and they're seeing the results. Heaven help japan's next generation.
It's not a Japan specific problem, actually.
How many Japanese women have you actually met?
And I mean in real life, not ones you read about on tabloids like this one.
I went to tokyo last year, one of my friend is a jap woman. And you know, tokyo is so fucking crowded, india is better.
What next generation?
/trolling
japan is going to be nuked in 2012, bro. Then it will sink.
Well what can i say, we all know that, interacting with others differ from person to person and love is a difficult thing to obtain, so it understandable for a guy who hasn't have a girlfriend compare two different things, Love Plus + to otaku are like true love because lets be honest most of the women out there are only interested in status rather that the actual person and unless you a) in shape b) good looking c) in a good job d) a asshole e)got money f) can do something for them, your chances with a relationship are small.
i guess it's good practice for the real thing ^^
Oh dear...
Just admit that it's a substitute because you'll never get a real girlfriend. "Practice"... how deluded can you get? Disgusting!
Thank you for saying that. Amen. With all the beautiful, loving and wonderful girls out there, anyone who settles for a one-way, 2D, relationship is sad and pathetic. I pity them.
May they all find true happiness in the real world with a woman that can give them more than they'll ever find on a DS screen.
Lithium Ion Pwns You!
yep, i agree. if you have to hook up with your ds due to fail social skills, you can at least be honest and admit it.
Someone's celebrating Rinko's birthday again... her birthday is on August 17, iirc.
An article about that should show up any moment now.
Hahaha! I think it could actually work.
This is why it is nothing like practice:

Does the game account for monthly cycles? If not, it most certainly does not prep you for what women are really like.
I thought it would be opposite. Otakus probably view a real woman as practice for a love plus woman.
This is sad. =(
I know! Make a Love Plus For Women Edition! This way, all the other women in the same wavelength as these otaku can be attracted to each other, for playing the same game! This is gold, an untapped market expansion I say!
wouldn't work. many girls are touchy = like hugs and kisses. not what you'd usually get from a ds.
Lol if love plus was practice for real love then love plus wouldn't be necessary in the first place.
It's gonna hit this guy hard when he finds out 3D women are more complex than their 2D counterparts.
inb4 "3D Pig Disgusting"
Damn the artist can't draw hands.
Wow! Real life Kami-nii-sama! Is he trying to advertise a live action of "The World God Only Knows"?
Rinko is so hot in that pic. Screw practice, she's the real deal.
Good luck with that buddy, if you are already 21 and never had a girlfriend for a time then you can practice the rest of your life alone and thats all you'll be practicing at, being alone.
He should awake from his dreamworld.
You may say he's a dreamer but he's not the only one.
I hope some day he will join us, and the world will be as one!
Yume Miru Kusuri would teach you how to deal with bitches better
Yes...
By choking them, getting em high, impregnating them... and more choking.
Makes perfect sense. ^^
Women don't follow the sorts of scripts presented in dating simutions.
After everyone but you and Yumi have left the classroom, she nervously asks you to go to the library with her after school. You:
(a) Say, "I'm sorry, I have something I must do then."
(b) Say, "Sure."
(c) Put it in.
Real-world responses are:
to (a) - she slaps you and runs away, crying.
to (b) - she slaps you and runs away, crying.
to (c) - after having sex with you, she snaps a cellphone pic of you with your floppy, cum-oozing dick and your pants around your ankles, uploads it to her PC, Photoshops it in with a background of the football team, and posts it with your name onto the Internet.
Talk about your own experience?
@ Anon 04:07 :
Yeah, I hated that game. (That's also why I'm posting as Anonymous.)
So... hmm... You're at the beck and call of a machine that does nothing but want and need and have you do things for it, while never actually giving you any real pleasure, just wasting your day listening to its preprogrammed yammering and listlessly attempting to please it in a fruitless game?
...I find no flaws in this man's argument. It is a marriage simulator.
now this is what a hardcore gamer is
If so then I'm sad to say I'm not the hardcore gamer I thought I was. Wait, not sad. What's the word I'm looking for? Oh, relieved. That's the word. Relieved.
"He intends to spend more time at a hotel next month with another Love Plus player"
That doesn't sound gay at all.
He = 男
another Love Plus player= 男
hence, 男+男=ホモ
hurr I'm a durr

Hey gaiz, Gran Turismo is practice for my driving test!
SO mortal Kombat is good practice on how to finish a fight but wouldn't i get a longer jail sentence ?
It varies by what you do. Do a simple Fatality or go balls out with a Brutality?
*Note
You can do an Animality if take lots of drugs before the fight.
And Super Mario Bros is practice for jumping on turtles.
Kinda but not really. Super Mario was practice for taking drugs. The whole time your popping shrooms while jumping around doing crazy shit in a fantastical world trying to save a princess from a giant king turtle when your really just a simple plumber. That's not tripping balls?
Actually, when I was getting my drivers license, I used to practice on Gran Turismo 2. Got my license the first try.
I currently have a Class D license and probably could get a CDL if I didn't have to bother with drug tests.
and COD is practice for joining the military.
Oh wow. If that's the case, then I'm like a pro sniper, yo. D:
Hand me an assault rifle and I could probably wipe entire countries off the map. o.o
Nice.
There'd never be war again. :D
and rape eroge is practice for....oh wait...
oh shit then am a....................
Becareful, the feminists are ready with their Print Screen Button.. lol.
Try good old Carmageddon to know how to drive in cities, including chasing pedestrians.
Better yet, Twisted Metal so you can learn to customize your car/truck in the dire need to annihilate anything on the road, be it pedestrians or other vehicles. Plus it teaches you how to drive...i guess?
That's why I always stick with Grand Theft Auto. You got your Driving, Fire Fighter training, EMT training, Basic and Advanced Weapons, Pimping and Prostitution Ethics, Drugs, Police Evasion and Combat, Evidence Disposal, etc. It's like the Liberal Arts of the thug life.
PS. Personal favorite T.M. of the series was Twisted Metal Black.
Let's hope he gets a girlfriend in the near future, so the reputation of Love Plus increases a bit and the female population stops nagging about they have no chance against Nene & co. .
Good for mental health.
Really good.
What's more to say that's already been said..?
I will await the day this gets an international release...
*salutes Nene*
So will I!
Good for ensuring there's no next generation as well.
Awww.....
Those poor Jap girls....
all alone at night....
with their vibrators.....
"Practice" huh? I wonder if they'll ever be able to "apply" it -_-.
Love Plus: Apply directly to your girlfriend.
"so it's still a plus..."
Oh you.
Totally agree with you,Yoshi-kun.
My tea burst from my mouth after read your comment.lol
On (or perhaps in) the other hand is the guys penis.
Also if you need practice to understand how to treat a girlfriend then clearly they had no friends in the first place.
Hence, X_FANG, the invention of the Fleshlight.
thats the problem those dirty girls only choice rich and and hansoms guys look like they don't care about been cheat ???
No, the japanese girls are running after rich bastards who fuck and drop them.
still love plus doesn't provide sex content... it make the practice "unreal"... fufufufu... on the other hand it also doesn't provide the option for your waifu to cheat on you... so it's still a plus...
not a next generation of creepy otaku. we're fine. xD
you mean "The World Only God Knows" if so i do think it could be useful as practice but getting urself too consumed in it is bad. I think "The World Only God Knows" shows how playing date games is supposed to help men get girls not over fantasizing over 2D girls.
Anyone remember this song? (not that I was around when it came out x.x)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bP48M2BEs0
:3 Relevant
i don't take it to be sure...see Kami nomi zo shiru sekai for more understanding XD
It's like to call watching pr0n practice for real sex. You'll make some... expectations that maybe won't be met.
In general, yes. With regards to my girlfriend, no.
So that's not always true.
~"Just whether any of this practice at doting over a DS is any use in securing a real mate is quite another question."
Silly Sankaku. It's a five step system. He, like so many, have only just started.
Step One: Master the women of the DS.
(There are many. It's like Pokemon.)
Step Two: Master the female robots of Japan.
(They have robots you know.)
Step Three: Use everything learned in previous steps to fail in real life.
(Warning: Steps One & Two may have been stacked in your favor as women should not be treated the same as virtual women)
Step Four: Beg your DS to take you back.
(You should cry. And a poem! Your DS will love a good poem.)
Step Five: Live the rest of your life in obscurity.
(Repeat steps one through four until realizing this is your only viable option if you actually chose to do the first four steps in the first place.)
But you get the idea. Like where to put *it* and where *that* is.
But I couldn't find a black bar...
I see what you did there.
Women are really complex. Their genitals are little blocks that move all the time...
And when you touch the blocks, they scream and say "itai". Sometimes, there would also be water coming out of the blocks.
I've never understood why people smoked oregano either...
I've never understood why those pixels sprayed alfredo sauce all over those women...
@19:38 and 20:40
Both is fine too.
@denn: If you find a black bar it's a futa.
or a trap.
How can something better than the actual thing be called practice?
RL girlfriend is a practice for Love Plus.
They actually complement each other. Love Plus offers you the perfect relationship but no sex. Real girls can provide you with sex, but are annoying bitches only interested in your money.
Sex is overrated.
That's what all losers who CAN'T get laid even if they have to pay a whore says.
Yes DFC, I specifically meant you.
Overrated != bad. I think FF7 is overrated to hell and back, but that doesn't mean I think it's a bad game.
lrn2dictionary
this mentality is precisely why you cannot get laid.
Fapping ftw
How on earth would you want a "real" girlfriend when you already have a 2D one, even.
lol. It can't.
I mean, it's in our human nature to know how to appeal to girls I believe. That's not the hard part. The hard part is to not totally crumble and be silent and awkward in front of a girl. I think the only true practice if if you have a ton of girl friends and sisters and can interact with them casually all the time. People thought I was gay for always keeping girls at an arm's length, but at least I got the experience >.<
That's only if the rest of DS users would want a RL girlfriend.
Cause to some of us, Nene is all we ever need in our love life. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-qaMXZ_l70&feature=player_embedded]
Practice makes perfect... usually.
masturbation != going in a hole.
Thanks for reminding me of Zack and Miri, BlaqCat.
Miri: If you ask me nicely, I will Dutch Rudder you for the rest of our lives.
Zack: Good. I'm getting tired of fuckin' a fleshlight.
Miri: You fucked it?
Zack: Yeah.
Miri: What'd it feel like?
Zack: ...fucking a flashlight.
Say that to my Tenga Flip-Hole.
I think fleshlight owners might have something to say to you...
@DFC
Better than the real thing? Dude You're sick O.o
Tip: get out and get some sun. Lose a few pounds and start browsing dating sites, within a month you'll be able to get laid. Perhaps even less.
Dating sites? You do realise there are women outside, right? In fact, there's hundreds of them out there!
A good place to start is with older women, women in their mid-30's to late forties; cougars or neighbors or very friendly women shopping alone in supermarkets late in the evening, aimlessly browsing the aisles, buying nearly nothing. At least it is here in Taiwan and perhaps in the USA also. They were when I was in college 10 years ago in Seattle and perhaps still.
Older women are more pleasant to be around, a little more forgiving of beginners and fully functional, unlike older men. You'll find them very accepting and sure of themselves. Older women know what they want and they want it a lot!
Yeah, seriously. DO NOT WANT.
GTFO!
DFC, you're a sad pathetic loser. I sincerely am glad you're not gonna have descendants.
I feel sorry for your 'descendants', especially if you're the one who'll raise them...
Heh, at least I'll have descendants. And raising them to be not like you? It's a great service to humanity.
At least he sticks to his beliefs / conviction/ fetish. I don't see a loser in that. The word "loser" is very subjective and could mean a lot of things especially on different playing fields.
But one thing is for sure, calling people losers just to boost one's ego is no winner.
I don't need to call people losers just to boost my ego. Reading the pathetic replies from you people in SanCom regarding stuff like this is enough to make me glad I'm at least somewhat normal.
