Obviously, you've never been to Japan.
- danielscrubs 3y agoWay easier to understand in Japan because of how it is delivered (body language, lived there for years). Americans can sometimes deliver a yes/no with a non confrontal, energetic go getter smile which makes it very puzzling to outsiders. To believe an American I really have to look for commitment details delivered unprompted, otherwise it’s just hot air. Very anecdotal data because I haven’t been there much though.
