What do Japanese women think of dating foreign men? I interviewed 5 Japanese women in this video and asked for their opinions.
I got diverse results. One of them have a typical americentric view of western men while the other are more open to different nationalities.
They have divided opinions about marrying non-Japanese men. Some of them prefer Japanese men because of their cultural values or lack of parents' acceptance.
I also asked them what they thought of Japanese men to compare to their views of non-Japanese men. The results were quite interesting.
Another interesting point is that their travel experience seems to have little to do with their openness. This might be another area to explore.
The questions I asked are:
- Would you date a foreign guy?
- Are you interested in any particular nationalities?
- Do you have any racial preferences?
- Would you marry a foreign guy?
- How would you like to be approached?
- What do Japanese guys lack these days?
- Is there anything you like about Japanese guys?
- Have you ever been abroad and where?

When you ask the last woman where had she been abroad. When she said philippines, you said 'nande philippines?' Which means why philippines. Why was her being in the philippines questionable?. Is philippines different from other asian countries?. Filipinos love japan and the japanese culture and the people. As do I, Sure Philippines was heavily influenced by western culture but we're stilm asian. I was just hurt that as a Filipino admiring Japan, seems like Some japanese people aren't recognizing my own country.

You say that in such a spiteful way Shakam, one could assume you're triggered by a shitty joke by playing on the stereotype put forth by pornos that white women in general would cheat on their partners with black guys. Which isn't common. You should probably also learn spacing. I mean, if you went insinuated something like 'Me: gets pike" which was a very common way Europeans in the middle ages humiliated each other. But no, you had to go with the assumption that some white guy's wife and mom would rather be fucked by a black guy than literally do anything else.

definitely are some social rights where women do not have all the same priveliges. like in Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to drive. however in pakistan women do have tge ability to become Doctors. the main issue is more social standing in these countries. it is not mandatory to wear a hijab or burka, but it is definitely frowned upon and would be considered a slut. my sister was very harrased because we visited an arabic country for a short while. she was not allowed to look anyone in the eye. and it was also because she wore a short skirt. so yeh. and altho a minority of refugees. sexual harassment has increased immensely. like they believe it is mainly wrong before marriage. but a lot of them just think it's ok and that the women are all begging for it because of the way they dress differently.

A girl said she was very kindly treated in foreign countries, and said, if it's in Japan, Japanese won't do this much ... I think it's because you are a Japanese girl and when you ask some Japanese for "where is the place", Japanese think you understand what they say, and they know you can find the place, so they won't take you to where exactly it is. My friend, and old foreign lady, she can't speak Japanese nor English, and she tried to ask a Japanese man where is Shibuya station, that guy was almost late for his work (it was in the morning, and the old lady told me, the guy looked his watch for many times, the old lady wanted to say, "You have work, I can try to ask someone else", but she can't say English nor Japanese), he TOOK HER TO THE SHIBUYA STATION...

[@justinweisel3337]

@lightsouthaha You're right many Americans do, but car culture seems to have faded away over the last 10 years. These stories started back around 2012 and have persisted to this day. Ranging from sources like Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, Vox, The Atlantic, NY Times, multitudes of articles from metro area newspapers (Chicago, DC, etc). Honestly you can just google something like millenials drive less or younger americans drive less (that's what I just did to list those sources). Honestly, half the reason this is probably true is the pervasive nature of Uber and Lyft.

I thought the one girl's story at 5:26 about the guy who went out of his way to escort her to her destination was pretty interesting, particularly since she thought it couldn't happen in Japan. To the contrary, I've heard many similar stories from westerners in Japan about asking for directions and then being taken by the hand (sometimes literally) and guided directly to their destination.

In Portugal I guess you have different people depending on how far north or south you go... being from the centre of Portugal, I only know what I've heard, but we say that people from the north are rude (meaning, they use a lot of swear words), but if you go further north it gets more rural and people are nicer and simpler. If you go to the south, people are known to be nice and welcoming, but I think that if you go further south people aren't as nice, maybe because it has become a tourist spot and a lot of foreigners (mainly British) live there. In any case, Portuguese people are known for their hospitality and their warm personalities. And people say the same about Europe! They say people from warm countries (Spain, Italy, Greece, etc) are more welcoming than people from cold countries (Germany, North of France, Switzerland, etc). Maybe temperature has something to do with it?

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

Ines Vilares You guys have sold me Portugal. I want to visit there!

[@lusitangled1775]

Do it! I'd recommend you see Lisbon, Cascais and Sintra, Sintra is my favourite place in the world! :) Maybe Coimbra as well, where there is our first university and it has a beautiful library, and you should definitely go to Monsaraz to see the castle and drink some wonderful wine.

[@duc3r_prod]

yhap! Sintra, Monsaraz are really unique you should come over man! : )

[@TheDinosaurHead]

My family is from the north of Portugal (Tras-os-Montes), I kind of actually agree with that statement. I tend to stray away from many portuguese when I lived in the states, (I can't find any now that I live in Japan) because I just didn't like the backstabbing and cold tough love lifestyle. I've never been to the southern parts liek Algarve, but I hope to go there one day. All I really know of Portugal is Porto, Minho, Fatima, Braganca and Tras os Montes. What I've seen of Lisbon is just the airport. Nice to meet a fellow Tuga ^_^

[@BritishRail60062]

I have just viewed your video and I would like to give my opinion here on this debate. I think that a dual-culture marriage can work fine if both parties are willing to compromise and are willing to accept each others differences. Not only that, but both can learn from each other more in terms of their cultures as well. In general I am an open-minded person and I grew up with hearing multiple languages as my family is Irish and my grandparents used to speak in Gaelic most of the time. So for me, learning a new language isn't a problem and with an international marriage. If they decide to have children. The children in the family will be atleast bi-lingual which would benefit them in their careers as they could work in a job that involves international trading for example. I would have no problem in marrying a Japanese woman if I met one and the conditions are right for the both of us (i.e: if we are fully compatible). Please do make more videos as I find them interesting and useful. I have subscribed as well. Cheers.

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

***** Do you speak Gaelic? That's very interesting!

[@BritishRail60062]

ThatJapaneseManYuta Unfortunately not as I have forgotten most of it due to living in England for all of my life. However that is going to change this year as I want my children to be able to speak it and I want to bring Gaelic back into my family tree :). l still remember a few words but unfortunately its not enough to hold a full conversation. Here is one for saying goodbye to a friend in Gaelic Slán go fóill mo chara. This translates into English as "Bye for now my friend" :). Cheers Ash.

I would be interested in the second video. Interesting video though. One thing that would be really interesting would be knowing what Japanese girls are like. I noticed there were concerns about the culture gap, which would be one of my concerns too. So it would be kind of interesting to know what that gap is. Might even be interesting to do a video asking what people think that cultural gap is and how they think it might be dealt with.

You need to know when to piss off, he's bringing you content, a really useful one for a loner like you and me, so why don't you appreciate the content and the effort INSTEAD of being an asshole?

[@tonydejesus2134]

Bājiru don’t count me among you, I have a girlfriend. But if someone is trying to monetize content, they are trying to be a professional and they deserve to be criticized on a professional level. It should be expected that when someone wants to engage in professional videography and filmmaking, they should learn the basics of how to operate a camera. I would criticize a professional writer for not knowing spelling or grammar, a professional animator for not knowing how to draw or animate, this is no different. Go fuck yourself.

[@ethos304]

@@tonydejesus2134 Pretty interesting, having a girlfriend and being an asshole doesn't change anything. Yes, i agree, if he was doing his content solely for money I would criticize him every chance I got, but the thing is; he does it not only for money, but to teach foreigner's about his country and the people that live in it, he even elaborated free classes to those who've taken an interest in the language. So, your still an asshole and you managed to prove my point with that poor excuse of an argument of yours, so, go fuck yourself.

[@tonydejesus2134]

Bājiru a few observations: first, my criticism was mild and justified, your response was out of line. Learning how to shoot in focus is simple and worthwhile for someone who wants to monetize his content. Second, you not having a girlfriend and probably not busting a nut in a long time is affecting your demeanor. Get a girlfriend or squeeze one out and learn to be civil. Also, I somehow suspect that you are the content creator or were asked to reply by him.

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

I was holding a camera with one hand, and the microphone with another. It was dark and autofocus didn't work well, and it was very difficult to fix the focus because I didn't have any extra hand. Plus, my camera didn't support mounting an extra light, which would fix the auto-focus problem, not to mention my very low budget.

[@petamasku]

Ha, since you pointed out my country (Czech republic), I´ll bring something to discuss. My country is quite small (like Hokkaido alone), but there are differences, depends on the region. Generally, the people from the east are more friendly and more party-like. Western people are more calm, reserved and harder to approach, I guess. The special ones are people of Prague- they have reputation of being superstitious, arrogant and money-oriented, so the rest of the country dislikes them :)

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

Petr Mašek Prague sounds like how Paris is in France then. It's interesting that people outside the capital tend to hate people from the capital in many countries.

[@petamasku]

ThatJapaneseManYuta Pretty much. But in Japan, that´s the same, right? Many Japanese (I am a tourist guide in Prague) told me that people from Hokkaido, Kansai or Okinawa are different, yet they all dislike people from Tokyo :D

[@spiritfired]

Petr Mašek OMG went to Prague and the 1st thing that hit me was a Prague guy swearing at me on the plane we haven't even touched down XDDD And the receptionist was the most awesome guy ever and he's not from Prague!! I'm cracking up so hard cuz this was so freaking on point hahahaha!!

[@MrStrawberryShit]

+Petr Mašek I was in prague a few times. imo the only bad thing about it were people who give you flyers and want you to go to a stripclub and the black people at night who want to sell some cocaine and weed. I had coke myself, but I brought it into the country because I knew that they just try to rip off tourists. When I refused to buy some they got angry and started to talk shit. It's a nice country and the people who live there were so friendly, but the ones who work their are fake and really just want your money.

[@petamasku]

+ASAP Oxy Well, you must understand that the Prague city centre is in no way genuine Czech location and it´s vastly different from the rest of the country. Just a tourist ghetto, I´d say. Even though I consider these black drug dealers a disgrace and an awful sight, It´s not a Prague speciality at all. After all, in the globalised world, the tourist locations are losing their geniune spirit and just like Prague, they are becoming an ugly shithole of Starbucks, selfie sticks, segways etc. So if you want to see the nice of Czech Rep., step outside of Prague city centre. You´ll not regret it.

ThatJapaneseManYuta if you google "white girls asian men" there should be a lot of questions online.

An old coworker once told me there are 2 ways to win over a girl 1) you can be handsome and sweep her off at first sight which is the rigged way, 2) win her affection through friendship which is the natural way. However both run their own risks for problems, for the former the relationship is likely to lead to a breakup since it's foundation is superficial, the latter could land you in the "friendzone" and keep you there IF you don't know how to turn it around.

[@Tenchi10]

Personally, I would rather marry a Japanese girl more than anything, but only because they are the most kind I have met. Kindness goes a long way with someone like me. I do photography, and cosplay photography at that. I feel I have to use my camera here because women are not as approachable sometimes here unless you have a nice body. I am of average body type, as a white American, and I try to narrow down cultural differences in all aspects. In all countries and religions I would certainly want to be respectful and learn. Relationships are about learning. I have been learning a lot. Language differences and all. I still do have one language though, which is English. So far, it looks like language doesn't have to mean a lot. Also, from a girl living in Japan, she said that the Japanese are really secretive and will almost always just talk about you behind your back and never confront you. She works as a nurse, and it could be a woman's smell, her sweat, or even a tear in the back of her shirt and others would only still talk behind her back. I guess it depends more on the individual, but my minor gripe with it. I will always love and respect their culture and would love it if I met a girl from Japan who shared my own interests. Your interviews are really opening my eyes though.
