Where to meet Japanese women?

I am stuck in Tokyo until mid-January and I was wondering where I could meet
Japanese women, not for sex. I do not drink.

Roppongi.

I was told that so I went there last night, but

1. I only saw about 10 Westerners
2. The streets were full of prostitutes and scammers trying to get you into
shady nightclubs
3. The few Westerners I spoke to said that Roppongi is the wrong place to
meet women, especially if I don't drink, and I'm not interested in sex.

I wouldn't worry too much about your lack of interest in sex affecting
your ability to meet Japanese girls. During my visits to Tokyo, most
of the Japanese girls I met never gave any hint that was what they
were looking for. :-)

The same as anywhere else in the world. Go where women go to meet men.
Go to the places where the kind of women you are looking for hang out.
Are you young? Go where young women go. Do you want to meet "arty"
women? Go to "arty" places.

You indicated that Roppongi was unsuitable because you only saw about
10 westerners. Were you looking for westerners or Japanese women? If
you want to hang with ex-pats and Japanese women related to them, you
need to hang in the ex-pat places.

And you mention repeatedly that you don't drink. Clearly bars are a
mainstay of socializing. You can go to any bar you like and not drink,
as long as you're spending money with the rest of us. If in fact you
are a recovering alcoholic and that's why you don't drink, and
specifically want to avoid situations in which alcohol is consumed,
that's another set of issues.

Get the local English-language rags at the local newstands and go to
the places they suggest as good or interesting or whatever. There you
will find among the ex-pats, Japanese women that are working on their
English, and so go to such places for that purpose.

I've always found that taking a class or two in a local university,
adult-school, or free-school situation, in subjects that are of
interest, has ALWAYS led me to meet people with similar interests. And
the best way of all to meet women is through "friends who have
friends". I use to sidle up to couples particularly since they all
have 3 or 4 single girlfriends they are trying to "help out". Of course
you have to appeal to the couple to make it past this hurtle: being
social, witty, attentive. I avoided going out with women from the class
proper until the class was over--otherwise when date goes south, I have
to abandon the class.

Well anyway my methodology worked too well. I'm married. The
friends-who-had-friends were in a book group. They introduced me to my
wife.

So, where are these universal places where "women go to meet men"? I
haven't heard of any such places.

Are you young? Go where young women go. Do you want to meet "arty"
women? Go to "arty" places.

Where exactly are these places?

Again, where exactly are these places?

And you mention repeatedly that you don't drink. Clearly bars are a

Why do you think it is? I've done fine without ever going to a bar in the
USA, and I feel I shouldn't have to lower my standards.

I've already looked at those, but haven't found anything.

I've always found that taking a class or two in a local university,
adult-school, or free-school situation, in subjects that are of

As I stated before, I'm only here until January 13th.

Sounds like you've lost your edge -- you sound like a typical married person
full of his hollow, self-righteous advice.

And you sound like a right moron, pity on the women who happen to spend
time
with you.

Surprise me with something useful.

You come across as someone who already has the company they deserve
:-)

Sage advice on the topic on a challenging issue. Tragedy strikes us all.

I didn't say they were universal. In fact there different everywhere.
Find out where that is and go there. I use to like those articles in
women's magazines called "Where to Meet Men". I'd go wherever they
said we were.

Are you young? Go where young women go. Do you want to meet "arty"
women? Go to "arty" places.

Get a brain. Use it.

You indicated that Roppongi was unsuitable because you only saw about

Buy all the magazines, periodicals and websites related to ex-pats.
Scan them.

And you mention repeatedly that you don't drink. Clearly bars are a

Then just cluck your tongue at all the stupid people and turn on the
television. Facts are facts. Booze makes people relax. That allows
them to socialize with more ease. If you don't like that, spank them
all.

Okie doke. I think you've done all that can be done.

adult-school, or free-school situation, in subjects that are of

You can still get a class or seminar in all manner of topics if you
take a few minutes to stop posting "it can't be done" here.

You're very welcome indeed. You sound very sad and angry. If I were
you, I'd start drinking. And hard.
