So I found this website called Girlschannel.net, which is a forum where Japanese girls talk
to eachother.
It uses an upvote system similar to Reddit, but comments are still shown in chronological
order.
Let’s check out a few different threads.
Have You Ever Shocked a Foreigner?
“My bad teeth shocked a foreigner once.”
“They often say despite bewe are too careless about our teeth alignment, their colour, and
our breath smells, huh.”
“I know of someone who, when studying in America, was asked ‘Why didn’t you fix
that when you were young?’.
It makes them think you grew up poor.”
(This person didn’t have that bad teeth for a Japanese person)
“I saw a YouTuber who could speak Japanese saying the following:
Japanese people are sensitive to body odor, but indifferent towards bad breath.
Foreigners are sensitive to bad breath, but indifferent towards body odor.”
Remember that Foreigner means anyone not from Japan, but generally they're talking about
Western people.
Japanalysis opinion: I think this is very true.
Personally, I pay significant attention to both myself, but any English teacher in Japan
who taught adult classes pre-pandemic will tell you their students often had bad breath.
Salaryman coffee breath is a famous stereotype among the foreign community, and I’m certainly
not the only foreign guy who has noticed otherwise extremely well-kept girls’ bad breath after
kissing them.
Body odour is definitely less of a problem in Japan, but that’s partially due to a
gene that is quite prevalent in asia causing people to have both dry earwax and relatively
odorless armpits.
The yellow area is where the gene is found more commonly.
“When I was in abroad in Saipan, I remember people thinking I was 12 or 13 years old.
When I told them I was 20 they were shocked.
Japanese people look younger I guess.”
“My coworker in her 40s was apparently mistaken for being underage at a Vegas casino.
She is 150cm tall, though, so…
(4’11")
“When I was around 20 and shopping in America, the cashier was worried if I had enough money
to pay, and if I knew how to get home.
It was like I was a 12 year old out on her own.”
“At a museum in Germany, I was given a 18-and-under ticket…
at 24.”
Quite a few people in this thread think it has to do with Japan’s relatively high humidity
reducing the development of wrinkles, in addition to their aversion to strong UV light.
Once, my foreign coworker asked me “Where can I go to meet ninjas?”
to which I replied “Ninjas aren’t around anymore…” but then I moved my head closer
to him, and whispered “Ninjas must keep their identity secret…
there’s probably one at our work right now…” to which his face turned a mix of shocked
and excited.
That was apparently a famous copy paste story but I couldn’t find it anywhere else word-for-word
so it’s probably been rewritten.
They’re shocked that we drink cold tea without any sugar.
For context, Japanese people find small faces attractive on women.
Apparently they don’t understand why we find small faces attractive.
I was once told “Your cute face is so big and lovely” which made me feel kinda weird.
In America, being small-headed is an insult.
Like, your brain is smaller so you’re dumb.
I brought a foreign friend to my family gathering.
When going to leave, after I said “seeya” to my family and started walking to the station,
they were super puzzled and asked me “Why don’t you hug your family when you say goodbye?”
My university program had a lot of foreign students, and, the non-Korean ones at least,
were always surprised by us talking about blood types.
Most of them didn’t even know their blood type.
They didn’t understand how we could use that kind of medical data to evaluate our
personalities or our romantic compatibility.
Japanalysis note: Most of you already know this but if you didn’t, yes, Japanese people
– and, I have no idea, but according to the post we just read, Korean people too – are
obsessed with blood type.
It’s like astrological signs for them.
They’ll say stuff like “You WOULD say that, you’re such a B”, or whatever.
Fictional characters are given blood types.
Hey, I know you saw the thumbnail.
You clicked it so – even though my channel doesn’t generally do this kind of content
– I have to fulfill my promise…
But before we talk about it, let’s talk about GirlsChannel in general.
Naturally, you might be doubting that it’s legitimately all women, right?
Well, there’s actually no data on the user base of the website.
But they, themselves, do speculate on it a lot.
In this thread where the users themselves were estimating what % of users were secretly
men, most people guessed between 15 and 30%, which is quite low, so that’s good I guess.
So.
The first thing that they all mention is how guys call them “Baby”.
It’s probably kinda weird to be called that, if you think about it.
Body smell issues come up a lot in this thread, too.
Then we get to the big issue.
I’ve heard this before from a few of my Japanese friends, but I always thought it
was just a joke.
It turns out, at least on the Japanese internet, everyone, even women, are fully convinced
that…
Although they might not be as big, Japanese mens’ genitals are simply HARDER than foreigners
soft Wet-Noodles.
I think it comes from some sort of inferiority complex – the statistics on size are well-known
in Japan, and… they’re obsessed with dicks.
Honestly, you know what, we have to transition for a second, we’ll get back to this in
a minute…
PERSONAL STORY inEveryVideoITellAPersonalStoryButThisTimeIHaveToPutItHereBecauseOfContext
Holy fuck, this is one of the most annoying parts of trying to make Japanese guy friends.
I never thought this would be my personal story, but…
Every Japanese guy I’d meet would eventually ask about my size.
Yes, guys I considered friends would eventually work up the courage to ask, but even strangers
had no inhibitions.
I used to go to the clubs and bars a lot in Osaka.
At least once a week, I’d say.
And I’m serious, every time I’d bump into another drunk guy and start talking for even
30 seconds, he’d point at my crotch and say something like, “Are you big?
I'm very small, but very hard.”
In my last video I mentioned my Australian friend Gary.
We’d go clubbing together, and whenever we met a new guy, we had a game to see how
long it would take them to ask about size.
If we finished the interaction without them asking, they won.
They almost never did.
They are OBSESSED with it.
Some extrinsic factors: Neither of us are gay nor do we give out a “gay vibe” We
didn’t go to gay clubs.
We are both white, I am 194cm tall and he is 180.
We WERE in Osaka, and I don’t doubt it happens more there than elsewhere, but still…
By the way, I asked my friend who lived in China for 3 years if it’s like that there.
(Clip of Jack saying no Chinese man ever asked him.)
Alright, so anyways, they think they are harder and we are soft.
That’s the most common theme in this thread.
When I see them in videos, they’re so soft.
Can they easily get it in?
319 UPVOTES.
It doesn’t go in straight, it gets squeezed in all windy and bendy. 286 UPVOTES.
A reply to that: TRUE, they’re erect but kind of soft.
Like a Chikuwa. 195 UPVOTES.
Yeah, my friend said an American she was with with was kinda wriggling like a snake.
208 UPVOTES.
Like this?
With this wiggly character.
Haha.
Why are foreigners so soft?
When we’re young, we are very hard.
I guess we get soft like them when we get older though.
198 UPVOTES.
When I was with an American, it was like a takuan.
I was wondering when it’d get hard.
226 UPVOTES.
Is it true that white guys’ thing is soft?
I dated a french guy who was 190cm tall.
He was long but soft.
My American husband is hard like normal.
I stopped believing in this theory.
A british guy I dated was around the same as a Japanese guy.
I think it depends on the person.
My friend who was with a German guy said it was soft.
Like, what is going on?
I thought this HAD to be a rumor that Japanese men perpetuated to make themselves feel better,
but they’ve somehow convinced women that it’s true too?
They convince themselves of other stuff, too.
This might surprise you – Japanese people think their intestine is longer than other
nationalities.
This has been a LONG-STANDING, very popular Japanese myth for decades – it was disproven
in 2013 by Japanese Scientists, but it doesn’t matter, a lot of them still believe it it.
Do you remember when they insisted on domestic clinical trials before they would vaccinate
their population last year, even though there were certainly tests on other Asian people?
They legitimately believe they are genetically different to everyone else in the world, even
the rest of Asia.
There are so many examples of this, but let’s not get too into it because I don’t want
to sidetrack the video.
This stuff can be quite infuriating though.
“With an American guy, I felt my body go numb for the first time.”
“I’ve been with an Australian and an Irish guy while drunk.
They were really big!”
“I’ve dated men from Canada, Sweden, Spain, and Australia.
The Canadian was kinda the perfect mix of a Japanese guy and a foreign guy’s good
qualities, it was really enjoyable” HEH, YEP
“I didn’t enjoy it because of the language.
It felt like I was watching a foreign adult video.
He kept saying like “Oh my” and “Fuck” and it felt weird, I couldn’t concentrate.
I wonder if it would be different with a guy in Japan who speaks Japanese.”
“People speak in their native language when they’re emotional.
If they were speaking in broken Japanese you’d probably still not enjoy it.”
“If someone said Oh My to me I would think of spaghetti and start laughing lol”
This one is too descriptive to read on my channel, but she says she slept with her American
friend.
She’s not sure if it’s because he’s American, but he was so good.
It felt like he really cared about her and treated her right.
Like a true lover.
I’ve been with a Chinese guy, it was completely normal.
He made really good food for me though.
Me too!
Why do they make food for us?
In China, it’s common for guys to make food.
I was with an Italian, it was a like a rich french full course experience.
It lasted a while, and afterwards, I was completely entranced.
Anyways, there’s hundreds and hundreds more posts.
I’m not even a third of the way through, and this thread is PART SEVEN OF SEVEN.
But I think that’s enough for today.
This is YouTube, after all, and there’s another thread I wanted to cover.
I found a dating app on my husband’s phone.
He left it out playing music and fell asleep, and when I opened up his phone it was on the
Tinder screen.
He had been using it for 3 months, and his profile said he was never married.
It seems like he had been going out for drives and stuff with other women.
I was astonished.
We have a 1-year old daughter, so I’m not considering divorce yet, but I’m looking
up settlements and child support.
I might confront him tomorrow about it.
The replies are tons of comments, all echoing similar themes: “It’s like he doesn’t
consider the child at all” "You should cut off his d*** “If you’re gonna divorce,
you shouldn’t tell him why, you should just make him sweat” “Make sure to save evidence”
“I’ll sign up to that app and catfish him” “If he’s going for drives with
them, he’s definitely on the hunt”,
Unfortunately, it’s near impossible to find updates from the original poster on Girlschannel,
because everything is anonymous.
But it was cool for me to see everyone unanimously giving good advice.
Anyways, thanks for watching!
See you next week for another Meme Review!~
