Title: now where was I ...... Post by: Windmill Boy on January 28, 2003, 05:00:00 AM Before my charectors turned into japanese script.
I think I was about to lament how I wished that I could read the japanese girls minds.
### are they interested in talking with me but scared due ### Won`t approach me to chat because it is not culturally ### Or they plain just don`t care about the grande gringo ha
---- When what to my wondering eyes should appear.... than a little woman named Miho waving to me outside of the front window just as my script turned into Japanese.

Hey WB, Enjoy your trip and don't let the ladies bum you out! It reminds me of a scene from the Tom Green Show. Tom acts up and falls down in a Tokyo subway stairway. Hundreds of people step over him unamused, hardly seeming to notice. Only one or two people showed any interest and started laughing. Good Luck! Dave H.

Hi Wind, Its nice to hear from you. What are you doing watching TV with all those nice women running around over there? You should be out chasing skirts! I think you worry too much. I never had any trouble meeting nice Japanese girls when I was there. Here are some of my secret tips to help you out: 1. Go for the ugly ones. 2. Hang a big sign around your neck that says FREE ENGLISH LESSONS. 3. Find out where the merchant seamen hang out. The girls are always more approachable in those parts of town. Bring mucho Yen. 4. Walk around and look lost. Wait for a young lady to approach you and ask if you need help. 5. Hang out around the U.S. military bases. 6. If all else fails, jump on the next plane to Cebu. Have a great trip and keep the reports coming! :-) Ray Title: Re: Windmill's Great Adventure Post by: Windmill Boy on January 28, 2003, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Windmill's Great Adventure, posted by Ray on Jan 28, 2003

I'd avoid GIs and merchant seamen in Japan (no offense JoeMc and Ray) if it were me - but the English Lessons sign is a great idea. I have an American friend working in Japan who used to hitchhike all over the country with a sign in Japanese "Will trade English lessons for a ride" while he was in graduate school in Tokyo. And Ray's idea of looking lost is another good one. Stand on a busy street corner with an open map - it's by far the easiest way to meet Japanese. - Jeff Title: Iron Pastry Chef into Philippine Movie Star...

[This message has been edited by Dave H] Hi Ray, ROFLMAOCUML! I was thinking along the same lines, but lack your experience in meeting "nice" Japanese girls. LOL Maybe if WB became a sumo star, he would attract about as much attention as he would in Cebu on a regular basis. Don't get me wrong, (apart from the "karaoke bars filled with foreign "entertainers" and areas surrounding US miltary bases) I think Japanese culture is very interesting and am a big (well...medium) sumo fan as well. But, for meeting lots of potential marriage minded women, a plane ride to Cebu or the Philippines could change one's life. If I got noticed, WB would definately be a Big Star with his looks.

There is a bit of xenophobia in the Japanese culture. There is a history of a superiority complex among the elderly Japanese and they look down on relationships with 'outsiders'. I hope I'm not overstating this, but I've heard this for some years now, and it still is, to some extent, in place. My 2’ Title: Re: now where was I ......

Hey Jeff, You are certainly proof that a gaigin can meet and marry a lovely Japanese lady! Most of us here are familiar with the Philipines. The ease of meeting women in the Philippines tends to spoil us. :o) But, we must realize that because a familiar strategy doesn't work well in Japan, it doesn't mean that there are not interested women or that another approach might not work well there.

Not every nice J-girl goes to college. I know plenty of good girls here with average Joe-Shmoes for boyfriends and fiances. But you won't find such girls hanging out in Roppongi and other gaijin haunts. But a foreign Joe-Shmoe does face a disadvantage. You have to bring something special to the table. They can find an abusive, cheating, domineering jerk here without having to learn a whole new language. If you have nothing better to offer, you gotta at least have the cash. On the other hand, if you don't have the cash, you should bring something personality-wise that they don't often see among the local male population. Seriously, if you show some simple decent gentlemanly concern for their comfort, welfare, or pleasure, (and maybe a smidgen of language knowledge) they will be AMAZED and just eat it up! But as Eric is probably finding out, a real relationship with a good J-girl takes a good deal of patience to cultivate. They are not all Yellow Cabs throwing themselves at any whitey that crosses their path. (The Yellow Cabs typically congregate in Roppongi.) Title: Yes, I'm sure.

.. since my wife from a very well to do family hooked up with ugly, ol me. You know, I was thinking that if my Japanese daughter, who is quite attractve, 25 years old, speaks 4 languages fluently, and who just finished her MBA at UCLA & Sofia (Tokyo) with her undergrad in international business at Cal Poly and Sorbonne (Paris), fell in love with the Mexican who drives the forklift at my company, I don't think I'd just say "well, love conquers all." I'd probably be pretty pissed. I guess I must be a snob after all... - Jeff Title: SOFIA Post by: Windmill Boy on January 30, 2003, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Yes, I'm sure. , posted by Jeff S on Jan 29, 2003

Sofia has a separate program for international students taught mostly in English. It's a serious university program, but not equivalent to their Japanese degree programs. My half American nephew got his undergrad there. It's considered something like an associate's degree to Japanese, not a full fledged bachelors - but my friend who used to hitchhike with the English Lessons sign - got his MBA there in Japanese after attending Japanese high school as an exchange student and getting his undergrad at a different Japanese university. Later ho got a good job with a bigger Japanese trading company in Japan. Rika really liked Sorbonne and ended up spending two semesters there. I'll never understand young women's fascination with Paris. It's fine, I guess, as far as the history, food, art, etc, but it's the people I have a problem with. Anyway, sounds like you're having fun. - Jeff Title: Re: Yes, I'm sure. Post by: Humabdos on January 29, 2003, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Yes, I'm sure. , posted by Jeff S on Jan 29, 2003

[This message has been edited by Dave H] ...I mean Jeff, :o))) That reminds me of a Korean couple that I am friends with. They worked very hard at their small restaurant to put their two daughters through the University. One became a MD, the other a chemist and was also a concert pianist. When they were off from school and not studying, the girls helped out at the family restaurant. Some of the guys I worked with at my part-time job used to eat there too and constantly try to hit on them. The daughters always politely refused and saying that their parents wouldn't allow them to date while they were still in school. The dumbass lazy lowlifes claimed that the parents were prejeduced against Latins because they wouldn't allow them to date (try and bed) the girls. The parents befriended me and my partner (a fellow firefighter friend), probably because we didn't hit on their daughters and they found out that we worked 2 and 3 jobs. They told me that they had no problems with their daughters dating or marrying other races, they just wanted them to focus on school, then marry someone of a similar educational background. Not to much to ask for in my opinion. Unlike many American kids, the daughters respected their parents wishes. Dave H.
