Isn't Vday in Japan just standard, where the guy asks a particular girl to be his Valentine and they date/dance?

That's about as opposite as you can get, no?

In Japan even bosses etc. will get stuff for Vday lol

Valentines Day doesn't really exist. They have White day in which women give gifts to men. Then a month later they have a day that men give gifts to women. I can't remember what the second day is called. They have a way better system for men because you know in advance and have a month to get things sorted.

No you're wrong. It's Vday and then White Day.

Edit: Also silly me, I meant America not Japan in that post

Valentines does exist in Japan. You have it a bit mixed up. Valentines is when women give gifts to men. White Day, a month later on March 14th, is when men give gifts (white chocolate) to women.

Poor japs, I can imagine they creating high expectations just to have their self-esteem crushed by the lack of a single sweety. :(


Aren't Valentine's cards kind of the same thing in America?

Whoa! Hey now! Not cool.

As stated above, the women will bake/buy etc. usually for the same man, and he chooses who to return to for White Day.

In Korea they have Black Day? For men for who didn't get anything for Vday right? Haha

Woa, for real? My bad man! I didn't know it was a slur.

"Japa" short for japanese in portuguese is commonly used and is not offensive. I thought "jap" would be the same. My bad, I meant no offense. :)

Do you understand how Valentine's Day and White Day works in Japan? It's definitely harem all over (or to be clearer, the few confident Japanese guys are the ones girls would go on dates/have sex with).

the main dudes get chocolates from all teh girls, and a month later he chooses who to return the favour with
So anime and J dramas weren't lying?

Well, he's supposed to return to everyone, but you know~

This is also a thing in S.Korea, but I'm guessing from prior experience... girls tend to get jealousy a bit more seriously there and wouldn't like a guy who willingly excepts multiple gifts from girls. <--

But no, they weren't lying.

I saw this in a Naruto film with Naruto getting gifts from the girls and I thought it was weird.

Exactly. Mothers getting booted out doesn't help. But it also doesn't help if Single Men are working themselves to death

It will be the same situation in the US and Europe in 20 years from now.

btw, http://www.vox.com/2016/6/9/11887580/teen-behavior-2015

US:
The percentage of teens who say they're sexually active is at an all-time low
In 1991, the first year the federal government conducted this survey, 54.1 percent of teens said they had already lost their virginity. The number has steadily declined over the past two decades, hitting 41.2 percent in 2015.

Black Day is for single people in general, not just guys.

In Korea, Valentine's Day is a day for girls to give gifts to guys, White day is the opposite, and Black Day is for everyone else.

There's also Pepero Day, which is for young couples.
