My Japanese girlfriend asked me today if we have rain in America. Break up with her?

Your girlfriend seems to be the best troll ever.

She's 22, Japanese, and very cute. She's just trying to be cute to satisfy the role of the young attractive girl in modern Japanese culture. It's like the American cultural equivalent of a valley girl. She should outgrow it eventually. There are plenty of girls not of that persuasion if it really become that much of a turn off. Personally, I'm not a fan of this type of girl. Feigning stupidity to be perpetually cute may even be worse than just being stupid.

Have fun; don't get her pregnant.

Absolutely not. The comedy potential here is off the scale. Your first step should be to start a Twitter account called ShitMyJapaneseGirlfriendSays. While you're building your fanbase, learn to draw manga. Start a manga with her as the main character and you as the guy who facepalms every time she opens her mouth. So basically you're Kyon to her Haruhi. Eventually you should aim to get your manga made into an anime. Her character should be voiced by Matsuoka Yuki.

Have more sex with her. Less talk. It's obvious.

Married 5 years to a Japanese girl here. I asked my wife about the rabbit on the moon thing, apparently it's a popular story. I asked what the rabbit is doing there, she said it's making mochi. So, yeah, it's a popular kid's story.

I then told her about your situation, and she laughed. She said that it's probably just a girl who is caught up in the whole kawaii thing. She's just trying to be cute. Cute == dumb, right? So the dumber she is, the cuter she is. My wife isn't a rocket scientist, having to explain biology or maths to her can be frustrating at times, but she does get it if I'm patient with her. Japanese wikipedia helps a lot.

We both think your girlfriend will probably grow out of it ... in 3 - 5 years time. They usually (but not always!) drop the kawaii act by the time they're approaching their 30's.

Fair warning: most Japanese girls expect to be married and having babies before the time they turn 30. 33 is a bad year for marriage or children so they like to get at least the marriage and first baby thing done before then. I can't tell you how much crazy I could have avoided if someone had clearly explained that to me back way when we were just bf and gf living together.

Your gf is still mostly a child. She is still growing up. If you stick with it, and educate her, and don't laugh at her silliness (which will just embarrass her and cause her to get cross with you), in a few years time she will be a fantastic woman.

I have some opinions on why this is the way most of the younger girls are, but those opinions will not be popular here. Talk to your other expat friends there that have married Japanese girls and get their opinions.

If you're not looking for anything long term, and don't want to put in the effort, then don't worry about it. Put up a twitter site and humiliate her without her knowledge. That'll be an awesome fight to have in a few months time :D

What kind of guy has the name "kittensandrainbows?"
EDIT: Sorry, answered my own question. The kind of guy who has debates about rabbits on the moon.

Sooo... Arial lived a protected life under her father Times New Roman until she saw Prince Verdana. New Roman wouldn't let her leave so she made a deal with Helvetica to make her a Serif, but the catch was that her curves would be removed, enabling Helvetica to seduce Prince Verdana under the belief that Helvetica was actually Arial.

Important question: You a) Know her from internet and never seen her in real life. b)you live in Japan and met her there. c)met her in your own country (suppose USA).

Congratulations, you are dating a 6-year old without the legal ramifications. Why don't you go find yourself a real girlfriend? ;)

Make up a crazy ass fantasy world for her to live in full of made up shit that she believes. You could use this to your advantage in many, many ways.

I'd dump her... everyone knows that sex with Asian chicks is awful due to their pixelated and blurry nether regions and propensity toward tentacles.
Edit: OOOOH Convince her that you can't see her vagina and that it's all blurred out and pixely, then show her Asian porn as proof.

DO NOT BREAK UP WITH HER. I might be the very first time a Japanese has opened their weird secret sense of humor to a westerner. You might be the only person with a chance of discovering an ages old anthropological question: what makes people of Japan so Japanese. Buy a notebook and write down in detail every word she says and every move she does.

Do not let her get out of your eyes and try to mix in by imitation: you can start by asking her why cats have fur, maybe drop banana on the floor and slip over it, destroy garden produce with lawn mower or even tar and feather yourself. When she finally starts to trust you she'll open herself and you'll discover how Japanese mind actually works, write a thesis on why Japanese TV shows are so incredibly weird and maybe even score Nobel prize for this achievement. Endure for science!

I don't comment often, but I felt a need for STORY TIME!!!!

I once dated a girl who was beautifu, but amazingly dumb. I met her at a Thrill Kill Kult concert in probably.... 2006. I absolutely fell in love with her -- always wanted to be around her. I wanted to introduce her to all my friends, so we went to one of our drinking nights together at a friends house. Friends met her, etc, etc. She goes into the garage with a female friend and my buddy says to me, "You know it's not going to work, right?". I protested, he said "Remember what I said.".

Soon after, we played a drinking game. One of the rules was if you pull a 7, you have to give a category -- after you name a category it goes clockwise person to person to name something in this category. Her first category? "Steering Wheel"

Soon after -- she says out of nowhere "Did you know whales peel the barnacles off their stomach and fight with them?", in front of all my friends. I laugh so hard I cry.

Soon after -- a five hour fight about how HIV does infact progress into AIDS where she slept 3 of those hours Googling any information she could to support her theory...

Broke up with her soon after.

tldr: i had a dumb girlfriend once, once i realized it -- i dumped her because she hurt my brain whenever she spoke.

Bang the shit out of her.

Also, get a dog, let him fuck her, and whisper in her ear that she's going to have puppies.

I think I'm the only dude here who would not put his junk in that woman for fear of siring dumb offspring.

Or maybe everyone else here is not getting enough sex.

jovdmeer · 1 year

So, just to be clear: you're just with her for the sex, right? I mean, it seems obvious to me that it's not for the witty and intelligent conversations...

Emiwee · 1 year

I'll stick up for her about the rabbits on the moon thing - it's the Japanese version of man on the moon.

AtomicDog1471 · 1 year

Yes, you should. But you won't. Because then you couldn't post to Reddit boasting about how you have a japanese girlfriend, could you?

Continue to ride her like a stolen Harley until you find a pretty girl with a BRAIN who knows how to USE it and is willing to go out with you, then drop your girlfriend like a hot plate.

Does she have a bracelet on her wrist with the inscription "MR F"? She might be a Japanese spy.

dmonlord · 1 year

Oh, man, lucky you. I would love to have a girl that asked me that kind of questions. I would never get bored. Just pretend that she's a little girl (well, shes 22 and she's japanese, so she's probably small) and you have to answer all her wierd questions as cool as you can.

Orbixx · 1 year

Whatever the case, trolling or not, try to see the funny side. This has potential.

Also pics.

The_Mighty_Badger · 1 year

As someone who studies Japan, I'd like to state that this is normal. She is most likely just trying to relate to you by making these statements. The Japanese are emotionally needy, but do not know how to express themselves due to cultural/historical factors. So, they say shit like this to simply start an interaction. Then again, she may be nuts. This is harmless in Japan though as she would spend most of her time in the company of the stove. In your case, I would break up ASAP.

You've got a hot Japanese girlfriend. Your friends are just jealous.

Smoogy · 1 year

it's likely even she thinks you're foolish too.

Take it from a girl: there are some girls that just like to fuck with men's minds out of boredom. Especially cute ones that are aware of how cute they are. Up to you if you want to dump her or stay to be made a fool. I guess it's dependent on how much fun you are having VS how much of your dignity is left.

Tell her we do in fact have rain, but since we're on the other side of the planet it falls up.

If her blatant stupidity is really a problem for you, you should not be with her.

In my case, I would be terrified that I might have to argue with this person about serious matters. Imagine; She gets pregnant, the choices are abortion or not. She claims that the fetus will survive an abortion and try to eat their way out of her womb, killing her. She cites a random crappy movie as her proof. You two have children, she decides that vaccination is stupid. Why? because her aunt knew a woman whose half-sisters son once had a vaccination and turned into a pig.

Faulty logic can be scary and I just wouldn't be able to handle the constant fear of her deciding something ridiculous and then I would have to respect that, or even worse, significantly alter my life based on her craziness.

My girlfriend once told me she thought that a "new moon" was a brand new moon, and that we somehow swapped our old one for a new one every now and again... I'm still with her. But then again, it seems like these sorts of things are more common with yours.
