Part 5/9:
Tinder and other dating apps operate differently in Japan compared to their Western counterparts. Profiles often include unique identifiers, such as fake initials, food instead of images, or even anime characters. It's common for Japanese women to use Tinder not to find genuine romantic interests, but rather to practice English or discuss foreign cultures. Unfortunately, for some, the stigma associated with dating foreigners remains a concern, leading to reluctance in pursuing serious relationships.
