I think what we need to recognise in this type of situation is if the person is even mentally well. Here in Asia we dismiss mental health to the point that the majority of the population still believes it's a choice.
I think it was Asakusa market when a clearly homeless guy ran up to me and motioned that he was starving and needed cash. I was shocked to be approached so blatantly while my boyfriend was a few shops down. I figured he'd leave if I gave him at least a bit. ¥700 buys a very respectable snack at a 7/11 or similar conbini. Then he just kept begging and staring at my lanyard wallet. I had to walk away because he was creeping me out. I only hope he wasn't trying to snatch my whole wallet the second I brought it out
Let me clarify: the fact he left doesn't make this okay. But it does make sense considering Japan has a politeness culture. That's all I was saying. If this happened in America, that dude probably (wouldn't have even asked) would have just followed her. I was just saying it was a very Japanese interaction in how it went down.

A random outlier doesnt make the country unsafe, and a pervert not phisically attacking you is nothing compared to really unsafe places
If it was Google translate, it was more than likely just a bad translation.
1. If he really did wanted to say that, that's really disgusting
2. Might be a translation fault like yeah Google translator isn't that accurate
If thats flashing lock me up
.....he did like...leave. Im not saying he's a good person, but that juxtaposition is wild and expected.
That was still harassment.
@@kutubeg correct.
Still not acceptable to do even if "he left..."

Mashers in every culture.
