OK, so I'm still trying to get my heaed round Japanese culture and these posts really stood out to me.
What is it about Japan and bringing a woman back to your place after a date? Why does it appear from reading these posts to be such a bad thing in Japan?
Now, I can well understand that if the woman is quite young and still living at home with family then you will certainly not be going back to her place. However, what I really don't understand is what is stopping you (presumably a grown-up who has his own apartment or house) from inviting the woman back to your place? Or what is actually stopping you from going to her place if she lives alone?
I do mean this question quite seriously as I really cannot make sense of it.
I understand that everybodys situation is different and that some people may be living in shared accomodation, but I've never known that to be a barrier, certainly when you're young. I remember living in a house share in London just after I left university (London is very expensive) with two other guys and that was certainly no bar to people bringing dates back. Are things so very different in Japan?
Also, when it comes to love hotels, just having read about them I simply presumed that the main customers were young people still living at home. Now, I can well understand this as thinking back to me being a teenager before I left home, the sort of places we ended up doing it were definitely not the most romantic and somewhere like a love hotel wwould have been great. But it appears that the use of love hotels carries on after people leave home as well.
Is there really such a high proportion of bunny boilers amongst the population of single Japanese women that you need to take these measures to protect yourself from them, or is there something else going on?
ps Sorry for all the questions.
