皆格好いい - minna kakkouii - they’re all cute !

Not a productive weekend at all. Somewhat trapped into going out both Friday and Saturday night till late in the morning. Club this, club that. Lots of people, "friends" that secretly try to sneak phone numbers and date girls to which I’m clearly interested in. Au au au ! What some people wouldn’t do over pride. Must have all women, must be number one, me better than you, me model, you ugly, me me me. Not even worth confronting people about it. Better to play cool and slowly withdrawal my contribution to the friendship. Considering that I’m generally more altruistic, I’d say that there is a good chance that the person that decides to hurt the friendship will end up with the biggest loss. There is clearly something wrong when you do your best to boost an egocentric person’s morale and he jumps on a woman around you.
This has happened more than once recently. I can see how one is tempted. To some extent, I’ve also sometimes been struggling trying to accommodate friendship and women. But I think that I generally do a better job. If one really can’t help it, at least being transparent and avoiding girls for which your friend has an active interest in, are two good starting points.

Speaking of girls, here comes the topic of the post: I was in a club and I see two attractive girls in front of me. They were just arrived, both seemed pretty excited. One nervously biting her nails, says: “minna kakkouii !” (they are all cute !).
That’s how normally guys are known to think, but it’s also how younger girls think. It’s only natural. Of course the difference comes to when one has to get closer to someone: will a girl get close to a guy just because he too is cute, or will she use a more appropriate meter ?
I looked at them and I said: “watashi mo ?” (me too ?). “Yes, you too !” ..yeah right !
I asked them if they were looking for something in particular, men, women !
Anyhow it was fun. At least those girls didn’t pretend to be something else. They were straightforward and friendly.

    Oh wow. Sounds like you were upset! While the same thing didn’t happen to me, I have experienced similar “friendships”.

    If you’re looking to meet some lady to be a potential girlfriend, then I suppose you’re going to have to be a bit more aggressive to “fight off” the other “hunters” since there is all this “competition” you have to deal with. You’ll have to risk such “friendships” by making clear that the “territory” they are encroaching upon is YOUR territory and that they need to back off. Kind of like how dogs give you a warning if you’re getting too close and they don’t want you around. 8P Yeah, it’s crude, but at times there’s no other choice.

    In regards to young women in Japan … I’m not sure how accurate or close to reality this is, but from what I’ve heard it seems like there’s this “time limit” in terms of them having fun and enjoying their lives. It seems that once a woman starts to hit 24 and older, they are literally becoming “old women” and it’s either time to start thinking about getting married or pour their souls into whatever work they are doing and hope that maybe, just maybe they’ll meet some guy they like and marry him.

    But like I said, I don’t know how true it is, but it’s something common I’ve heard which might give some insight as to those girls’ comments … but then again, women (of any culture) seem to be always comparing themselves against other women they see around them … and from some of the nasty comments I’ve heard a woman make about another woman, it makes what guys say about other likes sound very cordial! (^-^)

    About the territory thing. Whatever are the details, I wouldn’t expect to have to regress down to the animal stage with someone that claims to be my friend and is in no need whatsoever of additional female partners.
    I won’t elaborate more because I don’t feel comfortable on talking behind the back online. I wouldn’t have to sound like one that doesn’t have the guts to deal with things face to face.

    As for the behavior of girls.. the age thing is true, but it also depends on the type of girls, their education. Those two were definitely not your average mild-mannered Japanese girl. They wouldn’t be hanging in places filled with foreign guys otherwise 8)

    he he he … no details are necessary. When one is around “wild animals” one has to take the necessary precautions. 8P

    In regards to those Japanese gals, I was told by one of my Japanese friends here that some of the ladies just see foreigners as “things”; they’re not really interested in the person, but more the experience. Not making any criticisms about that since it’s basically human nature and happens everywhere on the planet.

    Sometimes, the lady is decent enough that she changes and can actually see the human being behind the foreign “mask” … sometimes not.
