Anyone else in this boat? Your serious work is ignored but some total shit work is selling?
>>8387801
what are you talking about dude?
I am talking about having your serious work ignored but something you never intended to be public being praised.
Maybe like The Wiggles. Imagine them. I am sure none of those guys thought, "I am going to be a super famous children's songwriter." They all probably had serious musical goals.
How do I have meaningless sex with 4-5 new women per week?
>>8387810
The masses prefer shit
>>8387801
>meaningless sex with 4-5 new women per week
tell me how
>>8387811
Be a reasonably handsome white guy in Tokyo with a good paying job. Use various dating apps and chat up lots of girls at the same time. It really isn't difficult at all. The hardest part is cleaning all the hair and makeup out of my apartment.
>>8387814
for real op whats ur secret
who cares about your life give us your sex tips
>>8387816
how do i live in tokyo what do i have to do to make this happen
>>8387822
First, do not under any circumstances come to teach English. The pay is shit and only lower class women will be interested. Also, no IT based shit either.
Get a professional degree, I studied law and work in finance for a foreign firm here. Other good choices are economics and marketing.
>>8387825
hope u know my comment was half parody
going along with the whole "nobody cares about your serious work" theme
>>8387822
Also, women here are attuned to finding money. You have to dress well (I have a great tailor in Yokohama) and stay fit (I am at the gym every morning no matter how shit I feel).
>>8387836
Will a bachelor in math give me any chance to work there? or do I need a PhD.
>>8387836
getting an electrical engineering degree, is that a thing; don't I have to know japanese? I know literally all the hiragana and katakana from my weeaboo days way back when
anyway terrible lifestyle rolemodels make the best childrens stories, it's not that bad of a legacy; people can still take you seriously
>>8387843
op get back here im not done with u
>>8387843
go to korea
girls are better
>>8387836
I'm a med student. Am i welcome in tokyo?
fucking weebs. just know you're literally hated and will never, NEVER, be accepted in an asian (especially japanese) society.
enjoy having fucked up children with identity issues
enjoy having the only type of woman to make u feel like a man
enjoy being an outsider for the rest of your unnatural pathetic life
>>8387950
whos the weeb u weeb
>>8387958
anyone living in asian permanently. they are failures that can't make it in their native country.

>>8387801
Drop the ego, drink the profits, happiness through developing a legacy is idiocy.
Don't you understand, OP? None of the things you want to make you happy will make you happy. Deal with what you have, which to be honest aside from the shitty job doesn't sound so bad. You're alive, aren't you? Drop the wallowing alcoholic artist act already. If you wanted to be anything other than another lousy chink-fucking expat (and I'm a lousy chink-fucking expat myself) you'd get off your useless ass and be it.
>>8387989
What a shame. I used to really like this guy's videos, but apparently he's turned into a very bitter and prejudiced individual. Genuinely intelligent people don't make sweeping generalisations like this.
>>8388198
My image didn't upload, but this is you for sure.
>>8387989
I'm confused. In order to even live in Japan as a US citizen, you have to at the very least have a 4-year degree even to teach English; just to live there you have to not be a failure. In fact, if anything, I think the failures are the majority, the majority that experience culture shock rather than appropriating
and by "native country"; you mean the place I was arbitrarily born in that just so happens to fall within the domain of the United States? The place my family, like three generations ago just decided to settle? What's binding me here that isn't arbitrary?

>nasty ass chin fuzz, calling people losers for expatriating to foreign countries, assuming they are there with unskilled labor or supporting themselves with foreign funds abroad
I meet these people so much, not when I'm traveling, but when some bitter kid from the suburbs of my hometown talks about "moving out" or "backpacking", I hear this exact same thing echoed, always. And if they ever get to go as far as Chicago, or to any othe cities I've been, their attitude changes completely. Nothing that he is saying is real, or anything he *actually* believes in; it's the same misguided and directionless anger that you see on a retarded kid's face who is throwing a tantrum out of confusion, only that he's able to communicate more succinct thoughts.
I'm not an Asian expat btw, I just hear this so much and it's always from someone who hasn't had sex in 2 years and works some job like a burrito roller and grew up in the burbs of the burbs
>>8387810
>The Wiggles. Imagine them. I am sure none of those guys
steady stream of milfs, get to influence young minds, do whatever goofy shit you want to on stage, insane royalties, greatest gig on earth
>>8388242
that was beautiful man
>>8387849
Secondary degrees are a must.
>>8387850
Yes. You have to know Japanese. You will need N1 on the JLPT and 2 on the KanKen.
>>8387886
US
>>8387937
I have never seen foreign doctors here. Maybe in a company as a researcher.
>>8388242
Exactly.
In my case I was married to a Japanese girl in the US. She wanted to come home so we did. After we had a kid she went crazy. I know if I ever leave I will probably never see my kid again so that is why I said "stranded."
>>8387801
Keep selling out. The reason artists are famous for starving is because they actually do starve.

There's literally no reason to move to any Asian country except to expect an easier time supporting yourself and finding women because you're having a hard time of it at home.
And no, having a bachelors in an easy major does not make you a success.
Yet another thread full of attention seeking lies. This is probably the same person as the norwegian cabin guy. Please stop.
>>8387989
>if you have any skill you're gonna be in your country
No. If I had any skill I would leave my country because it's a shithole. I would move to Japan or any country. I wouldn't go to teach English though, I would like to apply for a teaching position in a univesity in japan or korea someday.
>>8388976
(You, never left your hometown because you believe people only travel to have an easier time supporting themselves and finding women)
>>8389237
>No. If I had any skill I would leave my country because it's a shithole
you are part of the biggest problem that we have in the world today. help rebuild your fucking country instead of running away from it

top spook m8 i'm gonna raid your country and fuck your women while you tell me that i'm part of the problem as you see it
>>8388976
You're just afraid of getting sidelined because you're short and effeminate like all Asian males.
>>8390475
wonderful strawman. if your country is a shithole and if you have any dignity and care for your country then you should stay and help rebuild it. immigrating is the worst thing u can do
>>8390513
you literally just doubled down on your nationality spook.
I'm just glad cucks like you take pride in their cuckoldry. Makes my part a lot more satisfying.
>>8390527
did you even watch the video? do you have cognitive dissonance?
>>8390553
TRIPLING DOWN ON SPOOKS. MY GOD, JENSEN, I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A SPOOKED INDIVIDUAL. HE LITERALLY CAN'T BREAK OUT OF THE MENTAL PRISON HE PUTS HIMSELF IN WITH EVERY BIT OF CULTURE HE CONSUMES. SOMEONE GET THIS MAN A SENSE OF SELF-WORTH.
>>8390568
ah, i see. cognitive dissonance at its finest. good luck with that
>>8388242
You can smell the resentment off him, awkward loosers from the West coming over, getting employment and sleeping around.
He is right about ex-pat having the same meaning as migrant though.
>>8390429
I don't want to help my fellow countrymen. In fact, they are the main reason I plan to leave the country.
>>8390429
Oh shit! I didn't know the gumballs guy was still alive.
