*Once upon a time, I met a Semi-Pro Athlete in Japan.*
So, you meet a lot of people on The Apps when you’re a white man in Japan. A lot of people trying to practice their English. A lot of people just interested in talking with someone from another country. More people looking for English lessons. And eventually you find people actually looking to meet, hook up, and whatever else you’d like to do.
One day, I was bored and swiping on a train when I matched with Risa. She was really pretty, but also short and stocky, strong and built. I originally didn’t have high hopes for our interactions: while she was flirty and chatty, she also was very reluctant to meet up at all. I had filed her in the “not interested” box, but was consistently surprised about the things she would want to talk about.
Like, “What do you like about Japanese girls?”
Or, “Are you a good kisser?”
*Pro-tip: don’t ask a guy if he’s a good kisser if you don’t intend on actually kissing him!*
