I don't understand OKcupid

Why on earth would you post those women's faces on a site predominantly dedicated to P4P?

Sorry man, but that's really poor form.

Are you serious???

1. This sub-forum isn't about P4P.
2. Anyone with a OkCupid account can view these women.

The women have fake names and sometimes fake age aswell. Every 'Hana' is called Yoko irl.
 
That's basically all the answers I gave.

Or maybe I'm too picky?

In the attachment you can see all the women I'm shown.

That's weird I only see 30+ and mostly 40+

Try put a fake age. I guess most younger women don't want to date any guy older than 35?
 
Are you serious???

Quite.
This sub-forum isn't about P4P.

The site in general is. If you think this subforum is so innocent, why don't you go ahead and post your own facial picture here?

Anyone with a OkCupid account can view these women.

They consented to the use of their image on OKC. Not on TAG.

Ethical issues aside, there's also a legal issue should any white knights who are on both sites decide to let one of those women know their photo was posted here.
 
Anyway the attachment has been removed (not by me) so problem solved I guess.
 
Ok, I've finally understood how OKcupid works.
The "Browse matches" section is useless.
Instead, you have to use the "Double take" section BUT, if you click on the "Like" button they will have to pay to talk to you.
Instead, from "Doubletake" you should click on "view profile" and then send a message.
Basically, I've fallen in what's called a UX dark pattern.
It's designed to make people believe they must pay in order to unleash the true potential of the service.

Yeah you need to use all your daily double take. You get 50 matches a day. Problem is those women get 50+ matches a day aswell (usually more) so most will not reply unless you can grab her attention. It's a double-edged sword.

OP, I don't know what your intentions are (i.e., you want a relationship or just a quick fuck) but if you're after something a little more serious, you might give eharmony a try. I know, it sounds moronic and dated and it'll cost you a couple hundred bucks to get started, but what I was stunned to find is that the site had MANY Japanese women, in Japan, who were using eharmony specifically because they wanted a long-term relationship with a foreigner, preferably American, which is obviously why they chose America's biggest dating app. More importantly, most of these women had very good English skills as the majority of them had lived abroad to study (and many were looking for a way back there for good).

The only downside is that the number of matches you're shown at any given time is very limited. The upside is that the same is the case for the women, so it's not like they've got a virtual meat market at their fingertips. It's very much equal opportunity with males and females, rather than a female-centric system like OkCupid or JapanCupid that gives women complete control of the game. The really useful part is you can specify which region you're looking in, from individual states to entire countries. I would just switch back and forth every day between different states near me and then Japan and I'd have a dozen or so prospects pop up. I had very good luck with eharmony.

Like I said, this is if you're after something serious and long-term. Most skanks wanting to grab their ankles with a white guy aren't going to shell out that much money for a subscription when they can just pop into any HUB at 9pm and by 9:15pm have a dozen broke and horny AEON teachers ready to whip their cocks and wallets out faster than they can spell their own names.

The last scene you described makes me want to go to a Hub just to enjoy that show !

Seriously, do any of you guys ever still go to HUB?? Or is it just me, who thinks he can re-live his youth by checking in to that shithole?? No matter where in Japan I go, the crowd in HUB never changes: Douchebag English teachers, sloppy slutty mid-30s skanks who've given up on having a normal life and squat on whatever foreign cock possible and then a couple of young bewildered salary-jagoffs in cheap suits who just want the quick thrill of nursing a single beer in the midst of some genuine scary gaijin. Add to that those evil fucking "HUB Ale" towers you can buy for dirt cheap and I don't think I've ever had a night there that ended well.

The last time I went to HUB was with a deranged, damaged 41yo I met online who I convinced to blow me at a park near the station and was doing a decent job until all the HUB Ale suddenly came back up and I had to hold her hair, with my cock still sticking out of my zipper, while she puked her guts out all over the hedges. The time before that was when I met up with some frustrated stuck-in-JPN expat friends from back in the early 2000s to suck down a dozen or so towers and ended up watching a late 50s-Chinese massage lady urinate in a squat toilet before persuading her to hump me for 10k.

NOTHING good happens after HUB.

Fair enough. I remember back in my early days in Japan when I always got off work later at night in a not-so-upstanding neighborhood in Osaka, and usually had a few (too many) drinks at a cheap izakaya before catching the late train home. Every April I had the pleasure of watching the aftermath of all those "new hire" parties at the area companies where the poor kids who'd just entered companies had to go drinking with their alcoholic bosses. One night in particular, this pretty young thing in her little black skirt and jacket was at the main station around 11pm, absolutely fucking wrecked, sprawled out along a row of seats, on her stomach, with her head hanging off the edge of the last seat, slowly and methodically vomiting on the platform. Shortly after that, she began wetting herself, which the middle-aged male perverts on the platform watched with particular glee.

Yeah, I felt bad. I was pretty lit, myself, but I'm still capable of empathy after 15 beers. I wanted to at least help the kid up and make sure she got on her train. But then the pragmatic side kicked in and I recognized that 1) she may vomit on me, 2) she's soaked in puke and urine and 3) I'm just not that nice of a guy to risk getting any of that filth on myself.

So instead I proclaimed a "DUDE, SUCKS TO BE YOU!!" then jumped on my last express and went home, grateful that unlike 99% of those I share ancestral genes with, I can actually handle my fucking liquor.

Yeah it does. You get to come on here and write about your experiences on here, and cheer my day up.

Plus, I reckon you need the bad experiences to really enjoy the good ones.

Couple hundred bucks?

Omiai/Pairs and other japanese serious dating apps are 3k yen a month + discount if you buy 6-12month membership.

Couple of hundreds bucks? NO WAY.
English speaking Japanese women? NO WAY
Marriage? Kids? FUCKING NO WAY

You get the picture :)
 
Last time I was in HUB was in Ebisu. ..Almost no foreigners except me and the talent was no where to be found. . The place was crowded with Japanese but the "girls " were pretty scary . . Luckily I brought my own with me ... Lol

The days of old you reference seems to be just that ...Days of old . .Really hard to find those type of hunters now ...

Unless the bars have changed and I'm not hip enough to find them anymore :D
 
Women don’t necessarily need to go to bars or clubs to find guys anymore. They have Tinder, or Facebook & can search for a guy all over the world.
And you can add to that that the majority of women don’t smoke, so more and more of them are going to other places to meet men, and eschewing smoky bars.

Imagine how badly your clothes stink after a night at the bar, and then remember that most women in Japan have shoulderlength or longer hair that’s absorbing all that stink, and it’s pretty easy to understand why a lot of women don’t like going to bars anymore.

I do think we will see a resurgence of the bar scene when Tokyo anti-smoking laws take effect next April, and pretty much every bar in the city will become non-smoking.

Actually, that will entice me to go to the bars more once they're smoke free.

You and me both, and I’m not sure whether you mean the smoke free environment, or the increased number of women in the bars, but honestly, both work for me.

It could just be that my HUB experiences were always in central Osaka, which I consider to be the Alabama of Japan chock full of people who pride themselves on being dumb, useless and inbred. But you may be correct...I'm referencing the mid-2000s, when I still had a gorgeous full head of hair and a cock that rose on command. I think we're all just not hip enough to find such bars anymore.

You may have a very valid point and I was unaware (and an thrilled about) this new anti-smoking law. Granted, I'm a libertarian-leaning, live-and-let-live kinda guy, and I was a pack-a-day smoker for over a decade and throughout the first half of my years in Japan...but within a year after quitting I realized I could NOT FUCKING STAND the smell of cigarette smoke anymore. If I go into bars and smell smoke, I leave. And every time I go back to Japan, I see they're becoming more and more like America with new restrictions on when, where and how people can smoke. I was stunned to see the fines for smoking on public streets in Tokyo. And thinking about it, I don't believe I see many women smoking in public anymore.

Finally, I can get fall-down drunk in Torikizoku again!! Load up on those cheap Kin-Mugi disasters and highballs, offend a few Japanese nearby, urinate in the women's toilet with the door open and give some college kids a show then stagger out into the mean streets and end up getting jerked off by three Taiwanese girls at the same time. Yes, it can actually be done.

That reminds me of a Toriki experience from a decade ago. All the boys were getting shitfaced at a Namba Toriki in Osaka with tons of college kids out that night. There were separate, very tiny WCs for men and women at our particular branch, I had to take a leak and saw the unlocked blue symbol on the men's stall so I rushed to the door. Upon pulling it open, I found myself face-to-face with this chubby Japanese girl sitting on the toilet who--judging by the wicked odor--was dropping a deuce and was either so drunk or so desperate she didn't realize she was in the men's stall and had left the door unlocked. She unleashes this howl that silences that section of the restaurant. I scream, "OH FUCK!!" before beginning to laugh so hard I almost pinched a loaf, myself. I think enough people sitting nearby could see what happened before I slammed the door shut and most of them were laughing, as well.

Poor girl came out and quickly left the restaurant. Fucking prude. Not like she was in there masturbating, or taking obscene selfies. It's Friday at Torikizoku...there are worse things you could've been doing in the men's restroom.
