Are Japanese schoolgirls hardier than their US counterparts?
If a young lady from the US ended up in a Japanese school by way of her parents being in country for a time, would she be able to endure as the Japanese schoolgirls do in respect to the cold and wearing their uniform? The fact that more than a few Japanese schoolgirls wear their skirts short in rain, wind, and cold weather cold weather (that even includes snow) are they hardier than there US sister students who seem to be debilitated if they have to venture into 65 deg. weather in a regular skirt? What make schoolgirls in Japan better able to handle the cold than female students here, even in the east or up in northern states where it snows?

Not sure where you live, but I’m in the NorthEast (where it has been record-breaking cold this winter) and I see the girls at the local Catholic girls’ school in their little skirty uniforms out every day, doing just fine.
Where are you getting your information?
In Utah (home of the 2002 Winter Olympics) Park City school kids often wait at the bus stop in shirt sleeves and no coat in sight in freezing weather.
I’d guess they’re about the same…
And in Canada. Where is it exactly that Americans schoolkids can’t handle the cold? Or are you just fishing for pictures of teen girls in short skirts?
You’d see people voluntarily wearing short skirts in 65 degrees here.
Never heard Japan being reputed for its weather, I don’t think it gets all that cold up there, and if it does the people probably dress accordingly.
Of couse they are.
After all, they have to fight against aliens, evil witches, demons and tentacle monsters.
Can’t think why anyone would give a single fuck.
@gailcalled you creepy bugger, you went and hunted down some old ass question haha
It took about a milli-second.
@Symbeline Look down and to the right, under “Related”. ;)
I’m guessing that’s where she found it, but it’s not appearing for me. Is it a mobile prejudice, or what?
o_O Not sure what that means.
The question she linked is at the top of the Related list for me. I always assumed those were the same for all users, since whenever someone mentions one, I see it there, too. This is the first time I’ve ever heard someone say they saw a different list of Related questions.
I’m on a phone I mean. I don’t HAVE a list. I have newer and older, that’s it. So whatever questions are related to this one, I can’t see em. On my tablet I can switch to desktop, but I don’t know how on here.
Ohhhhh. Gotcha. Yeah, I don’t Fluther while mobile, but it sounds like some of the bells and whistles are missing in that format.
Yeah, I can’t figure out where the activity for you is, I just get questions that are suggested to me by the site or sent by users. So I gotta remember all the questions I was in to see new activity. it blows
Do you have the option of switching to the desktop view instead of mobile? I seem to recall that made it more palatable for some.
There should be, there is on my tablet, which I’m back on now. It shows the question, the boring number 63 one, but I don’t know where the hell the desktop option is on the phone. I like the tablet way better for looking at Japanese school girls with anyway XD
@Symbeline
I’m currently on my iPhone. If you scroll down to the very bottom of the page, there are the choices mobile/desktop with whichever version you’re on in black and the alternate choice in red to click on.
Even tho there’s not any further development of the site currently happening , Ben added this new feature about a year ago or so.
It’s been much appreciated because it’s now possible to flag crappy spam even if on phone whereas that was not previously the case.
Just look down at the bottom of your pages. The choice should be there.
@canidmajor Not sure where you live, but I’m in the NorthEast (where it has been record-breaking cold this winter) and I see the girls at the local Catholic girls’ school in their little skirty uniforms out every day, doing just fine.
Perhaps there are different Catholic schoolgirls there, here, as well as other schools that have uniforms, any of the girls who choose to wear them, because they are not mandatory as in Japan, the hem is right above the knee or below. I do not believe Catholic school would tolerate them rolling up their skirts like minis as done in many Japanese schools. With a hem to the knee and long thick socks, it might be possible not to feel the effects of winter to that degree.
@gailcalled (Just as boring as it was in June, 2011)
Apparently boring enough for another bite of the cherry. <snicker snicker>
@dxs You’d see people voluntarily wearing short skirts in 65 degrees here.
I don’t, know but when it is raining here, more often than not it is cold, it is not a big stretch to imagine if it is snowing it has to be at least in the 40s if not colder. Here, you would see 97%+ students in slacks, not skirts.
@ucme Can’t think why anyone would give a single fuck.
Well…..one could say that o0f a few things like what to name a cactus, if you have the right to be jealous of facts you find in the phone or on the computer of a spouse when you were the one snooping….stuff like that. But heck, people do the strangest things.
No, @Hypocrisy_Central, these are not hem-at-the-knee skirts with wooly knee socks, these are mid-thigh hems, some wear socks, some do not. Don’t discount the hardiness factor of our New England girls, or actually, of our American damsels in general. They tend not to be as distressed as you might think.
