The fact that you believe you absolutely have to dig a fat native cock into your throat to learn a language just tells me you don’t actually know any language besides the native one.

People who actually believe just by talking about movies to a native you “learn the language” are deluded. You will learn how to chit chat about movies, but not the language. At least not to the level you’re able to understand profound literature.

Out of all the bilingual people I know, about 20/23 learned it by themselves studying without sucking the cock and all of them either live in a English speaking country or at the very least English is the main language at work. Neither everyone has the money to go to UK or US to suck cock, nor that’s how you learn anything.

And with Japanese is even worse just because you can speak it doesn’t mean you can read it. I assume you also believe you need the native cock to read you books for you to magically pick up the kanjis.

To learn something you need to study, and to study you need study material (books, guides, instruments, tools, etc). Everything else are just excuses made by mediocre people to justify their lack of drive or intellect.

You're forgetting the most important factor. A person needs to be driven and inspired to learn a language. 80% of language learning is hype. The rest is daily repetition. The latter comes far easier than the former.

This issue with Japanese is that it's such a filter that you need to be super passionate about not wanting to read subtitles, or be a woman. Women have the inherent sexual value needed to easily social climb, and can often leverage their looks/bodies to earn money while learning. They can also get a free place to stay anywhere in the world just by spreading their legs.

As a man, you can't do this as easily because women in any society that' snot ultranationalist will likely already have their chad fuck buddies. You need something more, and attaining that something more will compete with learning Japanese. This means that you (if you're starting from scratch without any advantages) have to do your self improvement reps, do your Japanese reps, and achieve economic success in order to go to Japan and put your jouzu nihongo fully into practice. That's effectively your prize after busting ass and doing double duty, possibly at the expense of doing other things like becoming even more successful or enjoying your hobbies.

So while women can start there and work they way up further, male fans who wish to become jouzu have to take into alconsideration a cost benefit analysis where Japanese is worth a metric fuckton less compared to any other proficiency. In other words, there's two paths a man can go down to maximize gains. You can become a master at your craft, get transferred to nippon, and be assigned a qt translator fuckgirl who'll help you learn Japanese as an ojisan. Or you can prioritize your nihongo reps and become a master at those, all so you can be a teacher, translator or other underpaid profession (relative to the time you spent learning nihongo) where the large female workforce has resulted in a devaluing of your skills (as women don't need resources to the same degree as men).

tldr Kiara only got jouzu because modern society makes getting jouzu easier for women than men. And the men who do get jouzu form scratch tend to do it only in addition to their other more lucrative endeavors which are the main focus of their life (ie being a successful youtuber or businessman). Only a woman could get away with focusing on jouzu above all else and still wind up not fucking her life up when bills need to be paid. Never forget this when you're weighing whether or not to continue your reps.

Let me guess. You are the person who goes to Japanese class and only does the bare minimum of doing the homework, and goes into class proud that they know how to say JoJo phrases. You then have to take the test at the end of the week, and you forget half of the vocabulary or characters so you just leave the spot blank rather than trying to guess. And you never rehearse the morning Japanese conversation practice, so when you enter class you always stutter and fumble the lines, wait for other people to do it first and try to copy, or try to side-glance at your textbook sneakily. This was 90% of the students in the 2 Japanese classes I took in college in the US, and why I was the top student in those classes and now in Japan. You are going to fail if you try to skate through the classes.

It's also a function of who you interact with most often. A ton of my friends are ESLs and they learned by just playing vidya and such and getting matched with burgers and brits, or just generally sharing the same internet space as English-speakers.

This kinda thing doesn't really happen in either direction for Japan as the Japanese wider internet community is basically isolated from the rest of the world. To my knowledge they've got their own twitch, youtube, 4chan, forums, etc. and don't have any reason to mingle with the anglosphere. Hence why, despite English being a mandatory class in Japan, they hold on to it no better than we burgers hold onto our spanish

Women get a lot of easy points in this field that you can roughly say "A woman is almost twice as likely to find a sexual partner than a man is".
