Yes, although it's been a long time since I was last in Japan (or Korea & other parts of SE Asia), I would agree that there is a noticeable degree of bizarreness that goes hand in hand with innovativeness. Asians from the Far East (Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan) are much more sexually inhibited than those in Southeast Asia (e.g., Bangkok, Thailand) or parts of India. Although the practice is not as prevalent today, they are also accustomed to arranged marriages and not doing their own matchmaking. There is a certain passivity and sense of taboo regarding dating, no matter how iconoclastic the youth may appear on the surface. quote:
ORIGINAL: Bedmonster Japan has always been the unusual country and I like that, as in repeated cases it is the unorthodox ways that often yield new progress. And this is proven continuously from both their bizarreness (refer to japanisweird.com) and their ingenuity (refer to anything made in japan). The country is different in more countless aspects than any other, this includes sex too (I'll be speaking from my own experience). For instance, many Japanese feel the immediate need to shower before sex, after it or even both and may not feel comfortable about overlooking that or discussing the matter when they are with a foreign partner. <snip> Cheer up OP, I happen to have several acquaintances where the majority prefer foreign women over their locals. Maybe you should opt your search to online communities that are open-minded to actively reaching out to other foreigners abroad, more than few of them actually seek contact in their local districts. Asian men who have been more Westernized in their thinking, including Asian-American males, may be attracted to less inhibited, less prudish foreign women but mainly for the purposes of 'Pot Noodle Love,' as referenced in the article. They especially have the attitude that all Western women have "loose" morals, so they have no qualms about lacking honorable intent with regards to foreign women. There are exceptions, people do fall in love and get married. Let me provide two examples observed from my personal experience, both pro & con: 1. We once had a Chinese accountant who was turning 30. Once he had a career going and had amassed a respectable amount of assets, it was time for him to be wed and start a family. He took a trip back to his village on the Chinese mainland because traditionally, one had to select a bride from one's hometown. This was all pre-arranged by their families. They got married twice, once in China for her family's sake, then a second time after he had brought her over here to the U.S., for his family's sake. That's the way it's done. 2. Growing up, I had a best girlfriend whose father would have been the Crown Prince if the Asian country had remained a monarchy. His father had been the Crown Prince but was sent away and forced to marry one of Emperor Hirohito's daughters during the Japanese occupation before WWII. This girl's father was never accepted by his own countrymen for having half-Japanese blood. He received a Western education, became an architect and chose an intellectual Ukrainian woman to marry over a native young lady.
