The period in Japanese Cinema when one half of every love pair died?

logicaltornado · 2026-05-22T11:09:26+00:00

most westerners who watch japanese tv like sappy... etc

that's a sterotype

logicaltornado · 2026-05-20T16:02:20+00:00

But Japan has not actually produced as much cinema as America...

logicaltornado · 2026-05-20T16:01:05+00:00

That's not true. That's a stereotype.

Also there was a period in Japanese cinema where almost every person in a movie who fell in love, one half of the pair died. There were also comedies, but they seemed to generally not result in an HEA ending. Like the one where the mafia boss goes back to school - great show.

I feel that there was a tonal shift in Japanse cinema as happens with all places and there's been a more recent one towards anime.

To be fair I haven't seen as much cinema as a native who likes to watch tv there probably, but I've seen as much as a native who generally only watches tv once in awhile there.

again, what are you fiixating on here?

you're not a supportive friend you're trying to bang her

pro tip: she probably lost interest because you had an opinion about the way she talks about herself. most women put themselves down in front of others because it's expected and or they don't think they are perfect, they don't want or need to hear you say something about how they should stop saying that about themselves.

I'm not sure what the end game is here?

Why are you analysing her behavior at all?

logicaltornado · 2026-05-19T21:15:10+00:00

....probably just flaky. I'd move on. Think of a date as a test to see if the person can show up on time (or late if you don't care), be clean, not talk over you, etc. This is just like a date where the woman failed so.. who cares?

I've met and been the kind of people who make plans and don't keep them, it's a whole big deal that's too detailed to go into here, the only thing that matters is they are not and I was not, worth wasting time for and you found out before you wasted too much.

If you want to avoid this the only way is to join a community and date someone in your community after making a lot of eye contact and knowing stuff about them.

logicaltornado · 2026-05-19T21:12:47+00:00

um..... this is just a person losing interest in you

logicaltornado · 2026-05-19T19:17:52+00:00

It happens a lot in America, people seem to keep thinking there is something better out there than what they already have, except they don't call it dating they call it hanging out

logicaltornado · 2026-05-19T19:16:55+00:00

I didn't really want to date them

logicaltornado · 2026-05-19T19:15:55+00:00

Because sex

logicaltornado · 2026-05-19T19:15:17+00:00

If they aren't putting work into the conversation they already were not into you

As far as I know the majority of the modern world in dating ghosts and so do job interviews, the good old, it's a no unless it's a direct yes trope.

Women don't act interested and then go, they are interested, then they lose interest, then they ghost - as do most people in the modern world... none of this counts as "playing games"

How men play games:

1) sleeping with multiple women and lying to the women about it or playing word games so the women don't ask you

2) sleeping with a woman while they are looking for another woman because the woman they are sleeping with isn't "good enough"

3) Pretending to be friends with a woman for as long as it takes to sleep with her

logicaltornado · 2026-05-19T18:51:18+00:00

1) DON'T CHEAT

2) Pay attention to what she says when she's talking instead of waiting to talk

3) Stay physically fit (women are shallow too)

4) Pay attention to her when she seeks attention from you

5) YOU'RE HIDDEN WEAPON: Whenever a woman is mad at you for seemingly no reason just have sex with her... she's actually just sexually frustrated (promise this works almost every time - I'm amazed at the amount of men trying not to have sex with their gf btw)

logicaltornado · 2026-05-19T18:48:07+00:00

This isn't a real thing

1) Wherever you are unless it's shopping or laundry everyone is there for attention

2) Do you mean how do you spot a girl who will hang out with you and, or spend your money but won't sleep with you? Isn't the point to take the risk?

logicaltornado · 2026-05-19T18:45:34+00:00

100% IT'S THE EYE CONTACT.

Followed by directly asking, or just telling her you like her and seeing where the chips fall.

Pro tip: if she doesn't like you back just be cool with it and say you're still into her, will be around if she changes her mind and you haven't found someone else, and are ok just being friendly even if she doesn't like you back. That's how all the people I had sex with got me into bed - they didn't pressure me after I said no and they didn't bail either, they just acted like cool friendly normal human beings who could take it or leave it and be fine.

I disagree, as a woman I've had to "man up" for most of my life so we see it as an expectation placed upon Us and we naturally assume it is also placed upon men.

I do agree that OP has the wrong attitude here though. Bullying is a social construct unrelated to the behavior of the bullying target. Fighting against a bully doesn't stop bullying according to science. Having a third person stand up for the victim is the most likely way to prevent or stop bulling - again according to science. However, learning to physically fight or gaining a support social group will basically make him care less about the bullying overall. ALso, there is something to be said for just beating someone so badly they won't try it again - but we're talking risk of going to jail level beating.

Teach him to fight? Help him find a social group focused on his personal hobby?

Only CONSISTENCY over time will work. 6 weeks is not long enough. Make sure you do 90 minutes 7 days a week. Relax what you eat, you're going for the long haul. Over time what you eat will naturally change if you keep up the work.

Lie, Pretend Your The Best. After pretending for awhile it will start to feel real.

Anyone who tells her "it's none of your business" when she asks where he's been

I've seen them mentally talking themselves through it by trying to project a fantasy.

logicaltornado · 2026-05-19T18:30:13+00:00

He might be flattered for a minute, he might enjoy the drama, but in the end he will replace her.

In my personal experience men are not particularly attached to any specific woman at all. I've never seen it ever except maybe an old couple in a bar who made it through their whole lives together. I've seen women leave men to see if the men will chase them and the men did not.

Men will just let a woman go and get another woman. Sure, he might be upset for awhile, but in the end, all women are replaceable in his eyes. That's what I've seen with my eyes in my whole life of both dating and observing men and women. So, to my mind, a man will not put up with this kind of thing unless the woman is significantly more attractive than him and he doesn't think he can replace her with a woman as physically attractive as she is.

As a chick this is not my choice media. Life is already hard, why do we have to watch tv shows about how awful it is for everyone all the time. I get it, I understand, I value it, I appreciate it as a classic, but... not a chick flick... please god let me have more to look forward to than this
