    Apps (Bumble, Pairs, Tinder) vs the Bar game and Day game

    Interesting! Fortunately it is a garbage app that shows no signs of improving so no loss at least. Lmao no.

    Apps (Bumble, Pairs, Tinder) vs the Bar game and Day game

    Thanks for sharing and creating the thread. The observations sound on-point and line up with my own. Good stuff. Regarding the discussion surrounding locations and apps: the kind of girl you can meet will indeed vary with location and one should not rely on HUBs and the like (almost at all)...

    Bumble + HelloTalk might yield some results, but will have to be diligent. You're behind thousands of men who are already in the country. Bio should be friendly and serious. Good pics a necessity. I've heard of non-P4P meetups from point apps but only from the slutty girl side. Also one guy...

    Dating Apps: A Guide

    Yes! I cannot recall a case where i wasn't having fun or my gut was telling me things were going badly and was better off after continuing the date. Any lack of enthusiasm (despite you giving it a good effort), overly selfish, demanding or rude behaviour is grounds to cut early in the...

    Take a rest for 1~3 months. Devote some time and possibly money to self-improvement and rebuild your confidence. Avoid easy fixes and bandaid solutions. Return again to the fight when you are ready. To prevent future burnouts be conservative with who you use your energy on. Cut often and cut...

    Those are the bonuses that buy you exposure right? I've tried them on tinder and bumble. Inconsistent results. Sometimes tons of matches, sometimes squat. In terms of money-to-relationship/sex ratio zero improvement. It's been a while but since they are a force multiplier and you can only...

    Advise cutting your losses on lifetime account. Best to get in and out within a month or so to take advantage of newbie algo boost. Goes for any app. Also gives you opportunity to start fresh, rotate thru different apps.

    Most common explanation is you were outcompeted. Could be by an ex, other suitor, or even just friends or work. Nothing for it but to move on. You should be polishing yourself whether you suffer rejections or not.

    Given what you mentioned about yourself and based on exp of myself and men around me, yes.

    i recently spoke with an average woman in Tokyo who started Bumble she got 1500 likes overnight probably not an efficient use of time unless you are top 10% at least

    Yeah most Japanese apps require Japanese identification before you can message: a residence card, JP drivers license or JP passport. I'm afraid I don't know any workarounds for this. Get a hold of a residence card if you can, otherwise you may be limited to Bumble and Tinder.

    I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with hotels, but keep it close to a Yamanote Line station and you can't go too wrong. Probably around the Shinjuku/Shibuya sector of that circle might be more efficient but might cost more too. Some cheaper hotels won't let you bring a girl back. Some turn a blind eye...

    No problem. Re: the book, yes it isn't cheap. It is far less money-efficient than say Game by Roosh, but it has its place. This makes it lower priority, and IMO not a must but worth it for a completist. I would say purchase only if you don't mind spending and don't have super high expectations.

    You're quite welcome. Here is a link to Sinapse's book. I bought mine years ago, so I hope this shop all still works. Otherwise I think the guy is stills semi-active, you might try e-mailing him if there is a problem. https://book.attractionjapan.com/japan-game-book If you are just in Japan...

    Confessions of a Tokyo Plate-Spinner

    Just to be clear, it's not about skin thickness. I appear to be harder than any of you. I just have better things to do with my time than give help where it is unappreciated, or answer to some sanctimonious janny. Just assume laughter as response to any further provocations going forward...
