What Is Irokoi Eigyo (Romance Hustle) in Fuzoku? The Pros, Cons, and 3 Techniques

Let me cut to it: irokoi eigyo (the "romance hustle," where a girl plays up romantic feelings to keep a customer coming back) in fuzoku matters.

I'll walk you through it step by step.

My experience and this topic

Points you should know

  • Nailing the basics comes first — advanced stuff only stands on top of fundamentals
  • Stacking up experience is the best teacher — you don't absorb this just by reading
