@@shizukagozen777 I never knew that thinking an entire freaking race worth of people didn't behave the same way counted as "idealizing"... Dude, I'm not an expert at Japanese culture but I'm pretty sure that, on the other side of the spectrum, a Japanese person would avoid dating a westerner no matter what cuz they're (the jp person) racist. Stop generalizing please. And who are you to assume how Japanese people think? Were you born and raised in japan? Even if you were, it's easy to get skewed opinions of your surroundings based on personal experiences so really you don't have any credibility no matter what you say for as long as you're trying to convince someone that all Japanese people are incapable of loving foreigners for their personality rather than physical traits.

As a westerner from the southern US, it was confusing to me when I visited Japan. I have to admit, because southerners tend to be outgoing, I wasn’t sure I was “wanted” in Japan. Like maybe they didn’t like me. No one smiled or looked at me. Now that I am in my 30s, and have traveled more, it seems very silly I felt that way.

I am an American woman. I live right in the middle of the states. I have always felt a good Japanese man would suit me well. I am a shy woman, but after getting to know someone I am fun and passionate. I do communicate very clearly, but I’m not too assertive. I would be able to allow a Japanese man to be the protector. I think there are US women who have the perfect balance of hard and soft that some Japanese men may be wanting. I am very loyal and wouldn’t go out with a male friend. I know a lot of women in the US who think that is wrong so I think out of everything I heard, that was the one assumption I felt was incorrect. Women in the US may communicate with some male friends but would not spend time with that friend without her boyfriend. So that are some of my thoughts that I felt may be helpful to share. Oh… also, any Japanese man that thinks western women find them to be too shy or maybe even too soft, you are perfect the way you are and you deserve to be loved. Your men are strong enough to be protectors to a western woman. I love you all and I hope this helped to answer some questions/curiosities. Also, I hope this helps anyone feeling insecure to know that there is ALWAYS someone out there to love the parts of you that you don’t like or maybe want to hide. That’s a good thing to tell you… hiding things, being dishonest, lying… these things are a very big problem for an American woman. We would rather be told the truth, even if the truth hurts us. Showing that you will tell the truth, even when it’s hard to, will definitely help you to win an American woman’s heart. Ok… I’m done now… lol thank you for reading and I hope this helps!

From the last person with the question, if he was in a relationship with a foreigner and they go on a date. Would he be OK of a group date? My cousin did this and she said "My sweetheart brought two of his friends and then I brought two of my friends, we had fun and they where close by. So if there was a problem then they can come and save us, I thought it was a good idea in till my sweetheart had a unknown allergic reaction to something in the food. And had to be rushed to the hospital, I don't think he will be here today if our friends wasn't there to help him." I think that's super sweet and also fun!💖💖💖

I can only give my experience as a woman of color (non Asian) from America. I think in general we see Japanese men as quiet, shy, maybe passive, but otherwise kind and interesting. We definitely don’t look down on them though! I think what they say about western women being assertive is true, we are independent and stand up for ourselves. Maybe because of that perception they think a Western woman and a Japanese man wouldn’t be a good match but I don’t think that is the case. I think having a partner who balances your personality and can be proactive or assertive when you can’t be is good! The same goes with having a partner who can teach you to be calm or more down to Earth, as we typically view Japanese men as being. I’m of the opinion that opposites attract, but they didn’t really discuss any Western women that weren’t white or from Europe so I don’t know how they view non white westerners.

Thank you for this interesting and funny vid. 😊Only young guys opinions. I am an Austrian woman and related to a Japanese man over 30 years. We met in the US while studying and we were 2 Europeans involved in a Japanese community . Was a great experience! I agree that Japanese men are shy. The big difference to European men is they don't talk a lot, they handle. A big task is to understand each other. Not with language in thinking. This is the complete different culture. But it works if both want it. One point one guy in your interview said that I agree. Japanese men are not tall... And to get in touch with Japanese men is very difficult. They work to much and not so open minded than for example Korean men....

I don’t think Western men are polite and chivalrous at all. Most are raunchy, rude, and never even learned manners to begin with- even the more tame/ more polite ones. Maybe the older generations are but in my lifetime, being from a city and the countryside, the men I know personally and from afar are different than the POV in the video 😅 Western women can be assertive but are also generally very polite and chivalrous- you’d think our male counterparts would learn but it’s so hard to make generalizations because we all grow and learn at different rates/times. I find Japanese women can be very outgoing and assertive too. I guess anyone can be anything and it’s all how we group and observe based on environment/proximity/culture -I also wish the guy interviewed in the 2nd to last interview knew how western folks actually talk about Japan. There’s actually a whole lot of admiration for Japan in the US and in Europe

I guess the first two explained very simply why the expectation seems to be for girls to confess first in Japanese culture? Ha! I wonder if they realize that there is such a thing as shy girls in western countries. And short ones, too. I'm only 5ft (152cm) tall. The guy who said we are very friendly reminded me of a Chinese man I met. We were walking and talking and I greeted a random stranger who was walking the other way. It was just the way things were in that region, but he thought I was "so friendly!" Of course, if either of these guys were to visit some very big cities, they'd realize friendliness varies from place to place, too. Indeed, lots of women are decidedly UNfriendly. I did think it was funny that he thinks we're pretty though! Many of us westerners think Asian women are prettier in a general sense because they have a delicate appearance and this tends to be more ... consistent, if that makes sense? Like, the facial features (and figures) of western women are extremely variable. But perhaps coming from such a homogenous country, it's difficult for them to realize just how much people can vary within one country over here. PS: A lot of western women actually like to be protected, too. Most do, in fact. That's why "alpha males" are so popular in romance novels. But the trick is, it's harder to convince a western woman that you _can_ protect her. And if she doesn't have that confidence, she will assert herself. So, those Japanese guys who really like foreign women just need to find a way to convince them that they are able to protect her in whatever situation they are in, or at least in some sort of important situation, and they shouldn't have any major issues with the women being too assertive/independent.

I think the first two guys were on point. My boyfriend is japanese and so shy, he couldn't even look at my face the first times we dated. I'm pretty assertive myself and bold at times (and French XD), I was so scared of scaring him away but he actually loves it. 🤷🏾‍♀️ In his case, being shy and kind actually makes him really manly to me because he shows his feelings with his actions instead of just talking. I find that really bold and appealing, ironically. And it does make one feel safe and protected.

This sounds a little similar to me to the way I find that seem more human rather than manly ironically more manly? The more you seem like just some neutral human being with human thoughts and human emotions the more I'm like woah look at that male~ I mean honestly guys you already have a male body and male face. Just be human, however you feel like it. You'll naturally have some manly traits because of that, because that's just the chemical makeup of your brain you know. But just be yourself, let those things naturally emerge. Actively try to be a good human being, the manly stuff will come on their own. And read my comment but swap the genders and just tell me my comment isn't true for many guys... I know many guys feel the exact same way about women as I feel about men, and I'm by far not the only woman who feels this way.

As for divorce, it is better for people to divorce than remain unhappy. Children born to unhappy couples may suffer from mindless parents that only stick to one another based on some idiotic decisions that pulled them together in the first place, despite the clear lack in compatibility. You do know that it is far more common for Japanese people to remain single in their 30s, right? Japanese women are not as eager to get married anymore, women in East Asia are changing and becoming more career oriented.

I honestly think that when two people make a genuine connection, no amount of language or cultural barriers can keep them apart. Also, there are many different ways to be "manly" if that is a concern. I think most women want a loving, supportive, attentive, affectionate partner, although I cannot speak for everyone. Relationships are 100/100. There are times when you are more confident and can take the lead and vice versa. I think curiosity is a great relationship starter. Being curious means you're willing to learn and explore.

​@@rigierish3807 It's a gender role thing, a masculinity vs femininity thing. It's not a nebulous concept of affection for each other. Sure, both partners care for each other and show each other affection. That's largely gender neutral. But being a man in a relationship with a woman means that you provide her with safety, both emotional and physical, but most directly the physical kind. You can go places together that would otherwise feel unsafe for the woman if she was alone and you can be steadfast in the face of emotional turmoil, allowing her to feel vulnerable with the feeling that she can rely on the man to stay grounded. A woman doesnt bring a sense of physical or even necessarily emotional safety to a man and men dont seek it. What men seek is softness and a nurturing kind of care and even more concretely, they seek women for whom it would be appropriate to play the role of protector. The feeling of being relied on in that way and seeing a woman put her trust in you and seek protection from you, even with small gestures like clinging to your arm as you walk through the city at night is very special. The nurturing kind of emotional care that you get from women is different from the kind you get from men, it's more about relaxing and feeling loved, but also needed. Seeing a woman show that nurturing care to children and even small animals elicits the same kind of affection and feeling of wanting to protect her. There is also some overlap between the genders when it comes to these concepts, but generally speaking, these are the differences. Men like to feel like men and provide safety and women like to feel like women and be provided with safety. Generally speaking. The west has largely moved away from gender roles and people act like these feelings dont or shouldnt exist, but they arent exactly going to disappear. In east asia, even in countries were men and women are equal and both have careers, like in Japan, these traditions still exist and people arent afraid to expect them because the culture expects this of both men and women. Women there are no less vocal about wanting men who provide this. To them, this is normal and common sense.

It's a win-win, I like to shower him with affection, and he likes to receive it. 🥰 Don't get me wrong, he likes to give affection too, but it's more "secretive" (at home only) kind of affection, he doesn't like anyone seeing him do it.

What I like the most in your videos is the conversation you have with the interviewee, you don't just ask the main question, you develop a conversation and in that way you can expose various points of view. I think people are shaped by the culture in which they grew up, but the personality, and certain moments of our life also counts. I'm Portuguese and I'm shy, but I learned to be more comfortable talking to others due to my profession. Most foreigners are independent but we also like to be taken care of. And I believe there are many strong and independent Japanese women, I think it would be a good topic to address on the channel. Another thing that would be good to address was whether the Japanese would marry foreigners, I think it's a different matter than dating. Something that caught my attention was also the fact that when you start dating you can't have male friends. I don't really agree with this because we don't relate to the opposite sex just to get a boyfriend, there are people we just want as friend, I think it's a matter of trust in the partner. There has to be time for ourselves, for friends and for dating. Sorry for the long message 😅 Thank you for the video Takashii.

As a 40 year old American, I can say in all my experience that not once have I met anyone that spoke negatively of Japan. In fact, we highly respect the country. They're perceived as disciplined, calm, kind, generous, beautiful, highly intelligent, and creative (the birth of manga and anime is a gift to the world). The west respects the east, most definitely. Politicians may cause friction now and then but we don't apply their greed or brutality to their general populations, and we hope the greed and brutality of ours isn't applied to us as a whole either. For example, they're currently trying to make us hate and distrust Russia. We don't buy it, most of us know that Russians are awesome and we could care less what squabbles the leaders get into amongst themselves. We know it's about oil money and power. If you see a westerner in Japan, then be certain that they love Japan and Japanese people. If you're too shy to start a conversation, at least make eye contact and smile (if you're wearing a mask nod your head too). It's a welcoming signal to westerners and they may come say hello to you. Much love to you all from America!

Japanese culture, while being quite modern and progressive in the sense that they have a dating culture and women have careers, still sees gender roles as common sense and both men and women seek their equivalent counterpart in this regard. These roles arent just social constructs, they are literally how people feel innately. That's why you can never change the fact that men will generally be more attracted to feminine women in need of protection and no amount of chalking it up to "intimidation" will make men become naturally more attracted to "tough and strong" women instead.

My opinion of Japanese men as a Western woman (who has never dated). I’ve never actually noticed a huge difference in the things they do, but they seem (to me) to be a bit more respectful than the Western men I know. For me, personally, I prefer shyer guys and am not attracted to, like, masculinity, or height. I’ve never considered Asian men in general to be short, they’re the height I’m interested in. I like personality more than looks or wtv-if they’re cute, bonus points-and like being a protector, but I’m fine with being protected. I also don’t have any male friends (online, cuz that’s where my friends are) mainly because I don’t talk to a lot of guys and feel more than awkward than I already am when talking to girl’s. But yeah, that’s my opinion as a Western girl with no dating experience! 😂 😌

Love from Canada! I think Japanese people are fascinating, noble, polite and creative people. My partner and I love watching Anime together with English subtitles. I would like to know if most Japanese practice Shinto or practice spirituality, what does that look like? I come from a Christianized upbringing, and have always been curious about Japan and their spiritual origins. Thank you for these great interviews!

@@etistyle96 I grew up in a Christian home but I am not a Christian.

As someone from the UK every single Japanese guy I've spoken to has been really polite (something we really value over here), and shy like me haha. I really like that, though. It means we'd have a mutual relationship where we both make decisions, rather than one person taking charge. I feel like they're much more loyal, too, and there isn't this creepy culture over there of getting a girlfriend to show off. They want an actual relationship that will go somewhere, and I really respect that.

I'm from the U.S. Once, I was in a popular tourist spot and I distinctly recall seeing two Japanese men walking together exploring. I knew they were Japanese because of their distinct fashion, and they were very tall and slender. I will never forget seeing them because they were so fair and dark, so impressive and beautiful with a distinct air about them. I felt so intimidated and like they were so elegant and cool that they would never want to talk to me. Lol I bet they would have found me rude if I just told them what I really thought. Now I'll never know. I imagine Japanese men to be so dignified and out of my reach even when they are right in front of me, like God's from heaven unto Earth just gracing the world with beauty. They make me spout poetry.

Being in a relationship with someone from an opposite culture is extremely, extraordinarily difficult. It requires a level of commitment most people don't have and thus in most cases it won't work. That's not even getting into the fact communication is opposite (indirect Japanese vs direct western) and the langauge barrier is difficult. That being said, if you can really devote yourself and accept there are no absolutes in life and you may have to unlearn and relearn things you believed were absolute you can do this. Japanese men are good fathers and husbands but they are NOT at all, in any way, like western people. I love my Japanese husband and he's worth everything it has taken to be with him. It can be done.

Agreed, I have seen many such relationships and I'm actually the result of one (Russian and Bengali). The universal predictor for success seems to be at least one party basically investing a lot and assimilating into their partner's culture.

Agreed, it does take a lot of work mostly in the form of learning to make concessions. My partner and I are from two different cultures. It took a lot of us learning to understand why different cultures approach the same thing differently and not just go the easy route of making fun or refusing to try it. My partner used to be extremely stubborn and would out of fear of trying my culture, put it down. It wasn't until he got older that he realised what he was missing out on. For me, it was learning more about his culture, being with the family, etc. that I gained an understanding. This came in handy when I had to explain or set rules with my in-laws of what I couldn't do as they might expect. Since I understood their culture, I knew how to explain it in an understanding way. It's been over a decade and only one family member of his still doesn't wish to understand my culture, but I've learned to just go around them. The rest do and include me, so I'm good with that.

There is a great amount of presumption by other u.s. citizens that African Americans don't have a distinct culture, but there definitely is once you spend enough time to learn about it. It typically is downplayed or looked down upon, similar to mine. Ironically though, I speak and use more French than he does.

My first love was a Japanese guy. We met almost 8 years ago in China where both of us were studying on an exchange program. You can't imagine what an experience it was. I spoke Chinese, and he was just learning it. Neither of us knew English at that time. I started learning Japanese and made great progress in just a couple of months of communication. So, we basically communicated via online dictionaries, broken Japanese and English and in Chinese. It was love at first sight. Eventually, we had to part ways because I had to return to Russia to finish my studies, but it was the best relationship and the most passionate man I've ever met.

5:28 Even in my western + western relationship, I'm the outspoken one, and prefer confrontation over quietly accepting any kind of injustice. In a me-before-you society, it's necessary to be assertive. Also as a minority, I have learned that I have to stand up for myself and for others who can't stand up for themselves. It's both self-preservation, and a kindness. But in an eastern society where the group is valued over the individual, it may be less necessary to be assertive, so you might find the same women behaving differently. I am not assertive because it is a personality trait. I am assertive because if I am not, I am mistreated (or at greater risk of being mistreated).
