Japan cupid is the one I had joined, the gf I have now I met there nearly 3 years ago.

Before meeting her there I met about 20 other Japanese girls from that site who lived in my local area all of which who wanted to be either my friend, my friend with benefits, my (exclusive?) sex-friend, my girlfriend, my wife, and some other weird things.

Some wanted to talk for weeks online before meeting (in a public place) and others just came right to my front door the same evening we made contact.

Look for what you want in the right place and you'll find it!

Hey man. I tried japancupid. Sometimes there are more gaijin women there than japanese ones!

Same with men, as my friends and i found out. (Yay for trolling profiles?)

Me too! I had several contacts from non-Japanese. I believe one was a dude, but I'm not sure. And one Russian there I saw everyday on the way to work. :eek:

I chatted maybe ten persons at JapanCupid, and four agreed to meet me. The last one I dated for ten months. That one ended up at the altar. :vsign:
Would that be a warning or encouragement for you?
