Ok, I was warned that if I go to Japan, that is, all Japanese women will be all over me, is that true? I mean..I'm nice, decent black guy here. Or is there something more than this?
LOL I was in Korea and I saw there the woman teasing a black guy in the street. Maybe they will be courios and engage more openly, the other question is, if that would lead in a sexual affair, since I guess, that Japonese are as racist like Koreans or Chinese. But always remember, wehn u travel in the world as an american. Blend into the crowd where u travel. :smt025
I can only comment on what I've seen. I work for a Japanese company here and the men who come here to work for several years at a time are all married to Japanese women and have Japanese children. They are very into tradition. For instance, our production floor is managed by a Japanese guy and he will not allow us to walk around or stand around with both hands in our pockets because it is a sign of disrespect in Japanese culture. There is a Japanese woman here, who is a citizen and has lived in the States for 20+ years who has married and dated white guys and hispanic guys (sorry I don't know her whole dating spectrum). But she is very americanized. Sorry, I can't help you with how Japanese women in Japan will react to you, but from what I've heard, they look down on Americans....
Here is my two cents.... I have dated a beautiful Japanese woman from Japan and have Japanese American women friends/acquaintances. This is gonna be a tad bit generalization......but from my experience and from what I have seen and heard..... a lot of young Japanese women are fond of American culture... lots of them do like blk american men, due to globalization of hip hop/basket ball, etc.... I have few college friends who went to Tokyo to teach dance, language, etc.....they told me they loved it.... In fact, one is married to a Japanese woman. Their advice-stay away from the american base area and from areas only frequented by Japanese men (in this areas, the Japanese men will refer to you as Gaijin it means a "foreigner", "non-Japanese", or "alien", it is kinda of an insult....and you would not get a play). Regarding Japanese American women- they mostly date with their own community, when they do step out, they usually go for WM. I would say if you are a young man with no responsibility, you have nothing to lose.... spend the summer in Japan and explore. Good luck.
This just goes to show you that everyone has different experiences. And at the end of the day, the only experiences that matter are the ones that you are involved in. So, take GZ's advice and explore Japan because you really have nothing to lose. There is no wrong or right answer to this....good luck to you!!
I plan on to live in Japan for three years. If I turn out to be doing well in Japan, making lots of friends there, then I will stay there for few more years until I'm ready to come back home here in America. Japanese language seems so understanding, you know? I have nothing to lose to explore every corner of each cities and town there in Japan. Currently I'm working on my scripts, one of my dear friend who reads my scripts, he like it a lot. To him, I look very japanese, you know? The way I spoke. Thanks for that information, but I'm out here to do honest work in Japan. Just want to confirm this, that's all. Granted, all Japanese women are so hot, but I have to be more careful, you know? I don't want Japanese guys to be very angry, that is, I'm stealing their womens. And another thing that I might be adapt their culture so well, I would have to order Rosetta Stone CD, it has Japanese language in it, so I'm looking forward to learning all that. Also I'm going to learning Japanese sign language as well. It's VERY fun, I'm telling you.
I wouldn't go by what one person said, and that's generalizing right there, anyway. Sounds like stereotyping to me. I doubt girls will throw themselves all over "big American man" like they do in the movies and stories. Some may be, and some may not. I've heard Japan is pretty racist society(but which society isn't?). The previous generation will probably give you more shitty looks than the current generation. I don't know if they'll be on you for the fact that you're black, or the fact that you're American, since Japan takes a lot from American culture(hip-hop, fashion, dances, etc.). Japan is pretty big on hip-hop(especially in the last 10 years, and I've heard of the whole blackface trend they have there)not the ganguro thing, but that's out there, as well). Like in America, with the popularity of black music and culture, there will be some Japanese that will take interest in you because you are black and from the states. But that's only some people.
Alright, maybe I wasn't being very helpful. I studied Japanese for a year. I met a lot of Japanese people. I hung out with a group of about thirty of them, four dated interracially. That's all I'm saying.
