Guys Who Take Dates on a Train “Should Be Single for Life”

densha-onna-by-kanisaka_0.jpg

The majority of Japanese women think men who take their dates to the venue using a train rather than a car “deserve to be single for life,” “have no right to love” and are “abusing women,” according to a recent article – which has predictably proven highly incendiary amongst Japan’s increasingly carless men.

The rant causing all the fuss:

Guys who use a train on a date have no right to love.

These guys are just mocking the girls they try to court, and I hope they enjoy being single for life.

And it’s not just me who thinks this – most girls think exactly the same thing.

[…]

Frankly, making your date ride a train is abuse of women. It’s violence. A lot of idiot guys are so intent on satisfying their lust they don’t even realise this. They just want to jam themselves in a girl as cheaply as possible.

Most men are looking for sex as the final objective of any date with a woman. Maybe some guys will deny it on Twitter and the like, but those are just lies to try to make themselves look better, and no girl should believe them.

To say this has provoked an unsympathetic reaction from Japan’s highly train dependent and increasingly automobile-shunning male population would be an understatement:

“How does walking sound to you?”

“The girls who find using a train on a date too much of a hassle are the ones I’d like to see stay single for life.”

“I’ll just roll up in my light truck then.”

“To paraphrase, if you don’t have a car and the right to ride it, you’re not riding me either?”

“They just want to jam themselves in a girl as cheaply as possible = probably the only kind of guy she’s ever been able to date.”

“Trains are basically more convenient than cars in Tokyo though.”

“And so much safer than automobiles!”

“Did this hag get stuck in the bubble? Unless you live out in the country, who the hell uses a car on a date any more?”

“If you take a car on a date it means you can’t even booze together.”

“If you love your partner it hardly matters whether you are together on a train or a car, or even if you are just stuck in traffic together. Wait – has she not met someone like this?”

“Doesn’t everyone just meet up at the venue these days?”

“I bet she would not want to be driven about in a kei [ultra-compact] car either. Only old guys ride expensive motors these days!”

“I don’t own a car and use only trains and buses – hasn’t stopped me having a girlfriend.”

“Whether she is onto anything hinges on whether we are talking Tokyo or the middle of nowhere here.”

“Yes yes, we know how desperate they are to sell cars now. Maybe past generations lapped up this car-dating stuff, but young people today don’t care at all.”

“This woman is obviously one of the wasteful and extravagant bitches who are best avoided. At least she makes it clear.”

“What is supposed to be wrong with taking a train anyway?”

“Seems cheap. She wants a more expensive seeming date.”

“I think she’s right – most women do think that, and most aren’t going to want to go out with you anywhere on the train.”

“Shut it yokel.”

“I don’t think a guy who can’t even drive has any chance of cutting it as a father or something like that. I think I’d let a guy off until marriage though.”

“Even girls who live in the country often don’t care any more. I always used to get asked what I drove on dates, now I never get asked that.”

“Rental cars will suffice. This dumb provincial idiot barely registers anything other than the surface anyway.”

“I honestly think this whole piece was written by some old guy whose brain was poisoned by the bubble.”

“Try going to Kyoto in a car – nothing but tiny congested one-way roads all over, it’s hell.”

“This is why cars don’t sell any more. They have massive ongoing maintenance expenses, gas isn’t cheap and you can get into all kinds of horrible accidents. Plus having to find parking wherever you go is horrible.”

“The reason you losers don’t get any is because you don’t dote on the whims of our female mistresses sufficiently!”

“Just why are you guys getting so worked about this article anyway…”

    I didn’t know Japan was so train-dependent, soundsa absurd to me. O_o I’m a 21 years old who’s been driving a car since 18 (legal age in Italy) and has almost never rode on a train.

    In most parts of Japan you need to prove you have a place to park it, which in itself it expensive. Most don't have cars as cars aren't really all that convenient in the larger cities as their train/subway systems are crazy good. That was just about the only way I travelled while I was there.

    Well, reason why Japan uses a train is because of over population on an island. There is over millions of people there on that island. Having that many people with cars on that small space is more then likely going to have traffic jams that can last up for at least an hour or more, probably without any wrecks either. Not to mention a few of their trains can go past 150+ mph I think. Makes it more convent to travel one place to another.

    Not even close to Top 10 with 4-5 digit numbers per km^2, and very common with other countries.

    The Tokyo region is very densely populated while other parts of Japan are fairly sparsely populated.
    The remark on parking Anon 12:17 made is something particular to the Greater Tokyo Area maybe just the Tokyo prefecture which is as densely built up as Long Island NY.

    Keep in mind that if you live in Tokyo you have 37 million people in a single city, for example so, there using trains are way more logical (effective and less time consuming) than using a car, plus they're cheaper(Don't need to pay for them, don't need gas) and are faster.

    Nor have we Americans, it seems. All thanks to the bus transportation industry killing off the trolly & our railroads relying on lines built in the early 1900s.

    America's railroad industry is too cheap to invest in new lines optimized for bullet trains, opting to lose customers to airlines and stick almost exclusively to transporting commercial goods, while running a few public lines to major cities for businessmen. They also rape you on rates over the weekend, when less people are worknig in the city.

    Actually the oil and auto companies that bought up a lot of the electric trolleys and light rail.
    Others such as the Pacific Electric Railway serving Southern California were badly ran and went bankrupt.

    It was GM alone that did that with all the bus companies they ran behind the scenes. Pacific Electric died because it never made money to begin with: when Henry Huntington ran out of land to develop, no more money was to be made indirectly by building new lines to vacant land.

    Not true. I live near a train station in Rhode Island and the parking lot is always packed and you also see lots of locals walking there to take the train up to Boston, MA or walking back home at the end of the day. Yes, way too many people still drive cars, but I think it's a sense of the freedom you get that makes us be that way.

    Go to youtube. Look up Japanese cities and rodes and watch videos of people TRYING to drive. It's crazy. I've been driving since I was 13 (farm stuff) and was always wondering until I watched a few vids. They have trouble getting around on scooters, forget cars.

    It's called having more efficient transport.

    In terms of energy per person. Now, if you see the prices per km of our italian long trips train, that's another story, of course.

    Heck, per se mass transit is awesome, way better than cars. Sure, it needs to be: safe, practical in terms of distance from the stop to your destination, 24/24 (well, at least some night shifts), clean, good with time schedules, take you to the places without having much to wait, being cheap... things that the tokyoites get (at least I think it's cheap).

    To be fair, nowhere in Italy we have a so crowded metropolitan area that COULD be like Paris (not even Tokyo) with subways and shit and being economically feasible.
    Even most USA cities don't have those levels of density: NY city is an exception.

    Wouldn't they be more japanophiles?

    Though serisouly, if I remember correctly (from some blogs and documentaries) it's more to do with how Japanese women are seen as "Yamato Nadeshikos" even in the eyes of white dudes. Where the man is the one in control of everything. Which is ironic because they are anything but now...Japanese women are just as crass and bitchy as any other if not more with how often they sell themselves before they even hit 15.

    All men want a somewhat obedient housewife/girlfriend. It's a fascination. But any man who isn't in fantasy land knows that this idea of the common perfect woman doesn't exist. Which is case in point with how Japanese men have these stupidly high expectations of elegant obedient females thus secludes to PC until then (or go off on a pedo rape spree lol) and Japanese women wanting wallets and materialistic goods more than men and a relationship itself.

    Japan makes some awesome shit. Quite the oppsite when it comes to all social aspects however.

    When I was 22 I dated a 29y.o. korean girl who fit the stereotype. Didn't matter what I did, she would come over when I called and tell me she loved me...and I did some extremely suspect things @_@ eg.(forced finger in the 'stink' while she struggled to get away with a mortified look on her face, fully clothed and watching TV mind you...other stuff that could easily be considered date-rape if she wanted to press charges) Ok, I wouldn't be such an asshole these days, but the fact is she just accepted her fate....

    Asian kids who watched too many japanese porn and have a strange idea about how every japanese woman likes being fondled or raped.

    I wish it was a lie, but there is definitely a stereotype of japanese women throughout east asia that they are easy and gullible, and especially easy to fuck because japanese boys are too beta.

    Ever wonder why so many foreigners of east asian decent commit rape and sexual crimes in japan more than average japanese? This is why.

    Japanese have only themselves to blame, since their own yakuza peddle japanese AV extensively throughout the region and sell their own women overseas through debt traps.

    I have a better solution, she says she should go on dates riding a car. So how about she getting a car so I can drive her around? Sounds like a lot of fun for both of us, a great deal.

    When I was doing compensated dating in high school, the salarymen always picked me up in cars and spent lots of money! Now that I'm 30, I still expect to be picked up in a car by a guy with lots of cash!

    But what I'm doing is dating, not prostitution!

    Abuse?... Violence? Looks like someone needs to stop skipping their medication or to start taking some. Instead of bitching and moaning they should *train* themselves to take the train, get a car, stop having fantasies about getting a rich boyfriend who will shower them with whatever they want or heck, just walk.

    Eitherway, I doubt any man with taste with want to go on a date with such whiny bitches who are probably nothing more than straw feminists.

    She's the reason real women don't get respect.

    People respect individuals with backbones and not-so-cheap attitudes. Men or women, you need to be able to demonstrate that you are someone of gravity and mean business when you open your mouth.

    Women have it more difficult, but I have seen some women who are so respected than any one else in the room that they behave as if they are speaking to their grandfathers.

    Individual qualities and having balls trump penis and pussies in more ways than you would admit.

    WOMEN DO NOT HAVE IT HARDER! First off who builds the houses around the world? MEN

    -Plumbing is done by men
    -Nuclear reactors are created by men
    -Electrical wiring for electricity is given to you by men
    -Those street are man made
    -Husbands protect and die for their wives
    -The law is NEVER on mans said
    -Men have to learn social skills, be in shape, dress in style, perfect hair cut, good paying job and have a nice car just to even be noticed by an AVERAGE girl.

    Life of a woman is a joke. Most girls overplay the victims card just so it can seem like you have it worse. It's men who build and shape the world and it's men who suffer and die alone.

    woah woah there buddy. Men and women both have it hard. Each has to deal with adversities pertaining to their gender. So chill on the 'men are victims' card and realize that everyone is a victim of something. FUCK the idea that men of women have it hard, LIFE is hard in general and the stupid people like this chick or your victim complex makes it even harder.

    maybe true....

    but same can be said about girls who say they are look for love and affection... intruth, they are just looking at ur savings account...

    so therefore, i say both sexes have equal qualities. stop complaining.

    The implicit statement is that fucking on trains is more comfortable than in cars. Kinda right, but you shouldn't look down on trucks.

    Maybe if you took the train during the rush hour commute it would count as abuse but who the fuck would go on a date during that time.

    Driving during this time also could count as abuse.

    Unfortunately, the state doesn't really seem too different no matter where you live. Materialistic people judging someone on what they can provide in terms of money, fanciness, maxed mind reading ability and eventual divorce settlements to go mess around with some other dude, it's all the same. Rather than finding someone you enjoy being with who cares about you, people are bitching about transportation. Good game, I'd rather be single than deal with such shallow bitchiness.
