so you can ask what time the department store opens, and discuss in depth whether the cat is on, under or indeed beside the table? |

Yesterday a French exchange student told me she read somewhere that 80% of Japanese women are frigid, you know, cold fish. Add to that the large number of lesbians and it's no wonder that the birthrate is what it is and the high incidence of sexless marriages. Not to mention the growing number of otaku(computer geeks). Happy fishing!
Enjoy,

Ah yes, that age old story, girl meets boy, boy makes basic observations about the weather, and declares he likes Italian food, girl falls in love...

Only stopped because my Korean friends were dropping crazy hints about me living in Korea BUT learning Japanese. I like the Japanese language. Tried, but Korean just doesn't click with me.

That doesn't seem very independent minded to me, quitting something you enjoy because your friends 'dropped hints'.

Sorry love, don't mean to pick on you but have you ever thought that you only end up with these kinds of women because they're the type you seek out? |

Hang on. I want to hear what other half-baked theories Sweetsee can come up with based on dubious and unverifiable sources that he heard of through anonymous French intermediaries. |

| Go to Taiwan if you wanna date. I went to Taiwan once and I had girls on the streets pay alot of attention to me. Two girls will be walking, one taps the other on the shoulder, looks at you, and then laughs. Then if you can get to talk to one of them, you're set. |

I don't mean to be an *ass* but why don't you try dating women who are attractive, take care of themselves, study or work hard, and might happen to not be raised in Korea?
Hint, you won't find them in Japan.
Honestly your posts sound like 99% of the same tripe men gripe about wrt J women. If you're expecting some big difference, it won't happen. That cute girly kawaii shiz wears off fast when you want to have a conversation and actually hear what she thinks, unless you open your mind and maybe actually consider a woman over say, 30.
I spend many hours a week teaching women who open up and say they are learning english in hopes of marrying a western man so they can keep their careers. Some are doing it so they can *move* and go *to* the western men.
I just thought of something. Of the happy Jgirl/Gboy marriages I know of, all of them married AFTER the woman was 30, had her own career, ALREADY knew english very well, and had completed university. In other words she wasn't using him for anything.
Oh wait.
Actually, all the Ggirl/Gboy marriages I know are like that too. Huh. Go figure. You go for adult women with their shiz already together who don't NEED you but instead WANT you and wow amazing what you get.
/sick to death of guys marrying the rinky dink size 00 tons of makeup kawaii cell phone addicted twits in jean shorts showing off their ass cheeks and thigh high boots and then GASP shocked she has no brain and/or lacks in mother skills and/or stops sleeping with their 10-20 yrs older self. |

Especially enjoyed that last paragraph 01, nice post! Ever heard of a G/boy cracking on to one of those? Think there's any truth to what Frenchy was on about?
Enjoy,

P.S. Sunny down there today? Blazing here! |

I live in Tokyo and have some foreign friends (male) who have the same complaint about Japanese women as you have about Korean women.
Seems to me that when foreign men come here, initially they love the dainty cuteness, the giggling, the fawning over your every word. But apparently it wears off after a while, it becomes boring, the guys get tired of the cuteness, the lack of conversation, and so on.
HOWEVER I have met MANY interesting, intelligent, witty, successful and kind Japanese women of all ages. But I can tell you that not ONE of them is the type of girl who is tanned to a crisp, with bleached blond hair, in tiny pants, purple socks and hooker boots.
So, the make a long story short, if you are looking for a good female companion in Japan, sure, you can find one, but DONT GO AFTER THE ONES WHO LOOK LIKE BIMBOS ON CRACK. Stay away from them, and you'll be fine. |

I've been here for 3 months now and the bloom is off the rose as far as Japanese women go. I honestly hoped I might meet a cool foreign girl from another country while I was here but basically find that most ESL teachers are men and the women who are here are often with their boyfriends.
Many Japanese women are cool I am sure but after two weekends in Osaka I am sick to death of the high pointy boots and short shorts complimented by some gawdy hand bag and a cell phone decked out in fake diamonds. I never thought I liked the "au naturel" thing so much but the amount of makeup women wear here is obscene. Also, it seems that if they are approaching 30 they want to get married, BAD. Nothing scarier than a decked out bimbo frantically scrambling to become someone's trophy wife.
Unfortunately a lot of Japanese girls remind me of the flakey suburban barbie dolls I have been avoiding most of my life. I am still trying to find out where the cool ones are. Happy hunting. |

| It's really heartening to hear from some guys who are looking for women of substance. There are lots of intelligent and down to earth Japanese women (some under 30 too), as well as great single foreign women too, but it takes a little work to find them. |

What's with all the negative comments about Japanese girls? There are empty-headed bimbos in every country. Japan is no exception. But, if one or the other party doesn't speak his/her partner's native language fluently, how can they expect to truly understand each other? I've met Japanese girls who come off like complete airheads when they use their limited English, but appear to have quite a bit of substance when speaking Japanese. This includes a few go-to-Shibuya-every-weekend-nightlife-types.
I've enjoyed the time I've spent with every Japanese girl I've dated. I've never tried to have anything serious with the not-so-serious types; It's a waste of time and energy. We just had some good times; I moved on, they moved on. I've had some long term relationships, as well. I'm not sure it has anything to do with their being Japanese, but in a couple of those relationships, I felt a connection with each greater than I had ever experienced before coming to Japan. I've had mostly positive experiences dating here and encourage anyone who has an interest in dating Japanese women to give it a try, if he (she?) hasn't already.
I'm no Casanova, but I've had just as much luck here with women as I did back home. I feel pretty lucky sometimes; I'm not interested in marriage, yet, but I've usually had a decent girl to share good times with while I've been here. Most have been really cool.
Anyway, good luck to all of you out there in the Japan dating land.  |
