Have you ever experienced "Frogification"? Get to learn the new buzz word from Japan!



Frogification (蛙化現象) is a term that describes the phenomenon of losing interest in someone you liked because of something they did or said. It comes from the fairytale "The Frog Prince", where a princess kisses a frog and turns him into a prince. In this case, however, the opposite happens: the person you thought was a prince turns out to be a frog.

Some examples of frogification are:

  • You find out that your crush has bad manners or hygiene.
  • You discover that your crush has a different political or religious view than you.
  • You realize that your crush is rude or mean to other people.
  • You hear your crush say something racist, sexist, or homophobic.
  • You see your crush flirt with someone else.

Frogification can happen at any stage of a relationship, from the first date to the honeymoon period. It can be caused by a single incident or a gradual accumulation of negative impressions. It can also be influenced by your expectations, preferences, and standards.

Frogification is not necessarily a bad thing, it is a common and natural part of dating and relationships. It may happen to you or to someone you like. It does not mean that there is something wrong with you or them. It might just mean that you are not a good match for each other and that's okay -- It can help you avoid wasting time and energy on someone who is not compatible with you, so you can learn more about yourself and what you want in a partner. 

However, it can also be painful and disappointing, especially if you had strong feelings for the person.

If you experience frogification, you may feel confused, angry, sad, or relieved. You may also feel guilty or ashamed for judging the person too harshly or too quickly. Whatever you feel, it is important to be honest with yourself and the person involved. You may decide to end the relationship or give it another chance, depending on the situation and your feelings. Either way, you should communicate your decision respectfully and clearly.

Guys, keep yourself neat and respectful is always the best plan to give a best impression for your date.  Groom yourself (especially keep away from hair coming out of nostrils like fire!)
