Why Do Japanese Date Foreigners? and NOT? 

Language barrier is a big obstacle to date/marry people from different countries. But you'll get so much (not only dates but knowledge, jobs, insights) once you become fluent in a language. I hope Japanese people become more open to explore other cultures. Yes it's scary to get in a western dating culture, but it's fun as long as you know basic rules 👍

Shige is just becoming a regular on this channel now and im here for it.

The age old question returns

For me, if its foreigner, it depends on his nationality, his race, his religion, his personalities, These 3 are very important. before he is cleared.

While many people think language could be a barrier, it could also be a starting point. If a woman didn't speak any English but she was willing to have a date with me, I would learn some of the basic language and i would also have a translator software on my phone. While some people are fearful of the challenge, I find it an enjoyable adventure. I could even help her learn some basic English. She & I would make it like a game. We would smile and laugh together as we journeyed thru getting to know each other. But that is me and I am different from most men. Maybe there will be something about the woman's culture that really attracts the man. I shouldn't say this, but for me it is the slanted eyes. I love them, it is quite a turn on.

Japan girls seem super open to dating a foreigner from my experience interviewing them! Their biggest hang-up is the language barrier, so do your Anki reviews and you'll be fine.

Are there any countries in the world were you are taught Japanese during your time at school? Japanese are taught English (obviously not very well or they are asleep) but you would have to speak Japanese a language you know virtually nothing about. There's not even a "We can teach each other our languages". At the end of the day it's a country that was shut off from the rest of the world until they needed to trade with it. Foreign men are like Disney World to Japanese women , great to visit but you wouldn't want to live there all the time.

Not surprised at all......w/ any of this.

*I researched all marriages between Japanese and foreigners and realized that Japanese people prefer to marry orientals* ! Foreigners who marry Japanese people are usally from China, South Korea and Brazil!

Hey, mehr Dating-Videos! Thx für die interessanten Interviews KathyCat ❤

1:42 Hello!!! Kanojo wa totemo bijin desu ne....!

Gaijin have big noses, hairy ears, and smell like butter.

F for the weebs. Your dreams of finding a japanese princess has been shattered

very informative video

I've had that dream 😊

It’s a psyop fellas get out of here

it's funny they think every foreigner speaks English 😂

Hey Cathy wanna do a collab ? I can be there and you can just say point out if they wanna date me. I speak Japanese too.

At this rate, it looks like Japan will lose it's identity soon.

I think Japanese girls are the cutest race. I want a Japanese girlfriend and a wife

Very selfish people that only want their culture and language.

The truth is you never know who you will fall for. There is a history of people from different cultures connecting.

Forget boyfriend/girlfriend: how many Japanese would actually MARRY a foreigner? Because it seems like the vast majority don’t see us as legitimate partners.

The guys are reluctant… until a blonde Russian comes along. 🤣

American married to a Kansai man here. He doesn’t speak English. 😅 One thing we learned fast is we have to ask for clarification if something hits us bad. It’s usually a cultural or language miss understanding. I enjoyed the video but only having one guy answer questions is disappointing.

From personal experience (with exceptions, of course), Japanese women are often considered highly attractive to Western men. However, it can be challenging for Western men, as they typically desire more affection in both emotional and physical forms, such as hand-holding, hugging, and intimacy. This can become an issue in relationships with Japanese women, especially after marriage or having children, which contributes to the higher than usual prevalence of sexless marriages in Japan. Western men may not realize that they are usually more expressive in showing affection because they are deeply smitten with their partners. Personally, I also appreciate mutual words of affirmation, but Japanese women, in general, tend to offer fewer compliments which may eventually become a problem. There's also a notable difference in communication styles between Western cultures and Japan. I hail from Western Europe, where open communication and freely expressing emotions are common, which is quite different from the cultural norm in Japan. It's often customary in Japan to keep emotions in check and avoid expressing them until a point where they might explode or where they give you a silent treatment (or a combination of the two). Western people are sometimes seen as more direct, and this straightforwardness can be seen as negative by some in Japan. However, many Westerners value honesty and direct communication over suppressing emotions and building resentment. Also... I grew up with the Western ideals of love and forgiveness, which can seem foreign in a Japanese context. My ex once mentioned that these values are rooted in Christianity and don't necessarily apply to her culture. I've observed that Japanese people often keep their emotions inside to maintain 'wa' (harmony) until one day they might reach a breaking point. It's important to remember that every person is unique, and these are just general observations based on personal experience. While having an appreciation for a different culture is valuable, it doesn't guarantee a perfect long-term fit in a relationship. It's crucial to evaluate your relationship objectively, especially before considering marriage. Being deeply infatuated can sometimes cloud your judgment. In my case, I too was "smitten," got married, spent over 20 years in the relationship, and eventually divorced because I was suffering internally due to the lack of affection, compliments, physical intimacy, and sex. However, I am grateful for the beautiful children that came from that union. I wish everyone the best of luck in life and love.

Guys and girls, if you love affection, open communication and sex, don’t get involved with a Japanese person😂.

2:46 この種のインタビューで、こんなに正直に話す日本人女性を人生で初めて見ました。彼女は外国の現実をよく知っていて、且つ、嘘をつくことが嫌いだからだと思います。非常に珍しい。日本人男性のように正直に答えています。

Shige's response was smart, particularly when talking about values. All the girls were focused solely on what the guy could do for them like a one-way transaction.

My gf was totally against dating gaijin until she met me. Nothing is impossible (within reason)

At this point I'm just here to support the best content creator out there. Keep up the great work

The young. lady in white blouse with black trim is gorgeous!! From LA.

just remember guys. Once you get married the sex stops. Never forget it.

Cathy randomly dropping an I love you to the Japanese girl

😭 they’d be surprised realizing ladies-first foreigners are such a minority anywhere in the world including most of their potential partners

Question and constructive suggestion to improve your interviews: why did you not ask the guy who said his mother is non-Japanese so he would not wish to live with a woman like her the following: (1) what country is your mother from? (2) Is she Asian, white, mixed? (3) what qualities about your mother do you find you do not wish to have in a woman and what makes you assume or believe Japanese women do not also have those qualities? I think your interviews need more depth -- dig deeper. It seems you stop at whatever surface answer the interviewee gives and that's it. You give up. Perhaps you are too "Japanese" in your way of interviewing, but it's disappointing when you just don't explore your own questions deeply enough. We are not really getting to know Japanese when you stop at such a superficial answer without using that answer to pose deeper questions so we truly understand the "why" behind those persons' answers. This is my perspective meant to help. I hope it does. Thank you for the fun videos.

What I take from their comments is… they want you to bend to their culture but are unwilling to bend to yours😂. Japanese are very set in their ways.

How did you become so fluent in Japanese was it just living there? Because your insanely fluent it’s very impressive haha

It seems they only are mainly attracted to Caucasian men…

Lose not loose. 😂

The language, is the only stumbling block

Money money😅

Can you please make videos with Japanese subtitles? For the Japanese language learners out there that like to use RU-vid videos with natural Japanese conversation. This video has subtitles in 6 languages, but none are Japanese.

Dating a foreigner can be a wonderful experience. As you get to know the other person you find out things about their culture which are different from your culture. Eating their food, celebrating their holidays and customs are very rewarding. You may even look into their types of religion. Finding out about their family and maybe even meeting them is a wonderful experience. The more 2 people of different cultures find out about each other, the more likely they will become close friends. That could lead to boyfriend/girlfriend or call it a couple if you wish. That could lead to an engagement followed by marriage. Each culture has its own charm and wonders. All cultures have beautiful women.

sepertinya gadis2 jepan sedikit berkhayal dalam menilai...kenyataan tidak seperti itu.

Don't get me wrong, ladies first is a given

Height > face at a reasonable ratio of course for lots of females. You could have the face of Brad Pitt but if you're 5'6 it's going to be harder than an average face that's around 6'2.

it's great but would be so much better with good japanese subs to learn from !!!

Amigos me gustaría salir con una chica japonesa guapa sin patica me gusta mucho gracias japon 😊😊😊❤❤

Maybe I should think about keeping my husband out of Japan…

彼女の日本語はとても自然で、同じ学校の友達と喋っているようです

一番考慮することは、宗教だよ。縛りの強い宗教(例・ローマンカソリック)は、厳格な人は配偶者への圧力が強すぎるか、全く堕落しているかのどちらかだよ。

There is one question I have about the women in this video, maybe it didn't make the final edit, but would they be willing to teach a gaijin the language of Nihon??

Next: Why Do Japanese Date Humans? and NOT?

do Japanese women know that English is NOT the only foreign language in the world?

OMG FIRST!

She ain’t trust me but Ima gain that trust / Yamete

I find the Japanese language very attractive, though I've been watching your channel for some time I must say that you are a pretty interviewer.
