Ten Things Never to Say to a Japanese Girlfriend

I'm a girl and I wouldn't want any of these things said to me, obviously, but I'd rather have a guy in touch with his feminine side and I would actually prefer it if he liked anime. It would give us more in common, even if on a rather superficial level. I wouldn't care if he played eroge, owned figurines and dakimakura, or watched hentai as long as he was a nice guy. Well, okay, I'd mind it if the hentai or eroge had dog-fucking in it or some crazy shit like that, but other than that it's fine.

Oh, and he'd have to let me snuggle with the dakimakura. Those things look awfully comfortable.

Things not to say to a Japanese Girlfriend:

12: I'm American.

Less talking, more punching.

i like the choices of picture. yomi is going extreme on her weight haha

So Japanese women can't handle the truth?

so... rape is like saying hello. haha!

Humorless? Eh heheh...

Cheeseburgers taste better hot, than cold.

If a woman doesn't have an open mind, to be criticized freely by the people around her, then can she safely say she isn't insecure?

Everyone is judgemental, and everyone is conceited, that is pretty much all that i can put into this.

Om Nom Nom Nom.

Why the hell *would* you say these seriously without expecting to be dumped?

i think thats for every woman .... i think

I'd probably commit #2, #4 and #7.

If you apply most of these to the other gender (male) they most probably will feel insulted or depressed. It's not something just exclusive to women, you know.

11. Being told she is “feminist” when she knows that means "whore".

Yomi's jelly rolls are erotic.

Me telling a woman she's unwomanly would be a compliment.

But the one that really caught me by surprise is that celebrity bit. I would think anyone would be happy to be compared to a celebrity that is drooled over by the masses.

Japan, for their amounts of traps, has a surprising hatred of androgyny and worship of gender roles.

One thing is true... Woman seems do be missing sense of humor lately.

Wassup with that?!

I say a lot of these things to female acquaintances and they seem to like it (well of course they'll pretend not too).

That's why having Yui as girlfriend is ideal...

yep,the top question you'd never ask for a girl is about their weight also,if they had their period.That's really P.O'ed.

I say much worse things on a regular basis, in colorful ways, with impunity.

Well, almost. There WAS that young lady who tried to hand me a 3GB virus. I didn't even know such things existed. Either way, I preferred not to confirm it on my computer. :-P

You can say whatever you damn please if you're good in bed. Kissing ass for booty is a sad existence.

#11 calling out girlfriend #1's name well with girlfriend #2

Errr... Most of these I wouldn't even dare say...

More things:
* Yes, that does make your ass look big.
* Wow, there's a lot of gray hairs!
* Your breasts are really starting to sag.
* Yes, this is exactly what it looks like.
* No, you do not have the body to pull that look off.
* Here, put this paper bag over your head.

I disagree with half of this list.

No.1
I'm asking about the weight quite often. She tries to put some healthy weight on.

No.2
It is better if I notice this first than anybody else.

No.3
It depends how close you are.

No.7
There is always a space for improvement.
is your cooking 100% successful? Maybe never tried to make something new?

No.10
I thought that Japanese are oversensitive to smell? no?

btw No.9 Being compared to female celebrities
Do yo know that 99% of the pictures published in the magazines are modified? they wear heavy makeup and pictures are most commonly modified in photoshop but other software can be used as well. it is called retouching. less weight, bigger bust, better shape? with digital photography it is all possible.

well..i kinda failed at no 7
i told her her sandwich were great and couldn't helped vomiting in front of her..

Anyone thats told some of those things,whether male or female,they won't like it.

100% agreed with first poster, this applies to all women regaurdless of ethnicity. Most of this should be common sense and you would have to be a real dick to honestly bring any of this up if you plan on staying in a good relationship, woman love to be flattered and this shit is the total opposite.

same here

Hmph. Sometimes the truth hurts, women aren't too hesitant to tell us when something's wrong with us. That's for sure.

I can let #1 - #9 slide, but I'll probably always fail at #10.

as for #4 most women anywhere anymore have no idea what unwomanly means..or what it means to be womanly for that matter.
if they did they wouldnt have any problems getting a boyfriend or married

"What women do actually want to hear from a partner seems mainly related to his earning potential."

So if I have money I can screw the rules and love me still lol XD

i have never smelt perfume i have liked i still don't know why people wear perfume it just makes me sick and it will hide pheromones that makes person look better than they are

Looking through these, it's blatantly obvious why women would be bothered - they do sound like harsh criticism that really digs into the roots of who she is - e.g. her personality, and how you (the person she evidently cares about the most) perceive her as.

On a different level, I'm not sure how I'd react if I were told these things. For me 1) would be a compliment (as I'm pretty skinny). I prefer honesty rather than someone being too concerned with being polite. I find that if I'm in a relationship, I think communication is absolutely imperative. If you're getting trembling legs are the thought of casually asking your partner a question like those listed, it speaks about the flimsy foundation of your relationship. Of course ... it's one thing to get momentarily annoyed at these comments (as I can imagine most women would), but to be seriously offended is a sign of a problem in my opinion.

There's a difference, however, from being honest and being indifferent to her emotions. If her cooking really is bad, it's simple human decency not to spit out out her food and mercilessly berate her especially if she tried very hard. It might be easier to suggest some kind of added flavour, or ask if she'd like to cook with you sometime, that kind of thing. Honesty comes in different forms, and sometimes I guess both have to meet halfway in terms of concern for their emotions and what should be said.

If some said any of that to a girl, then they should be slapped.

Being compared to female celebrities - 7.2%

Comparing her to a male celebrity would be worse imo.

But seriously, that could be a compliment as well.. of course telling her she looks like Swedish royality would get you no point. But saying something like "You're even cuter than " would be a compliment? :x
