I, by some means find it difficult to comprehend the fixation of Japanese girls over virtual boyfriends who, jokes apart, look like girls themselves. I do agree that girls would kill for a guy who doesn’t speak against their opinion but he should be existent in any case. WebkareYour browser may not support display of this image. (Web Boyfriend in Japanese), a mix between a social network and dating simulation site, is Nippon’s newest web sensation. Geared exclusively towards girls, the site attracted over 10,000 members just 5 days after its release on September 10, racking up 3.5 million page views in the same time frame. Going by that number I do feel miserable for the Japanese guys especially after thousands of girls going gaga over virtual imaginary boyfriends. Girls choose between one of four different male cartoon characters they want to hook up with upon registration. They can then “communicate” with their digital crush in cartoon-like sequences to try to win over his heart over the course of the game.

Reportedly, 52% of members are Japanese females in their twenties, with thirty-somethings accounting for 18% of the user base. Do u think this will work in the US or Europe? I guess not!
