I'd also like to add: don't choose your partner based on the reputation you think you'll get or what your family will say. Which might be a pertinent lesson to a Japanese guy.
Family is important, yes. But you can't have your family, your friends, your co-workers or your boss running your whole life.
You are the one who have to actually LIVE with your partner every day after all. So go for someone that makes you happy and interested. The wrong mindset is thinking "I like this gyaru, but what would my parents say if I introduced her to them?"
It doesn't matter what your parents say. If they are good parents they will want you to be happy and they will try to support you, even if the girl you are with make them skeptical at first glance.
If they are bad parents they might try to sabotage your relationship or forbid it. But if you want to really impress your father, you must show him that when you are an adult, you are your own man and you make your own decisions in life. And if the girl they disapprove of is the one who makes you happy, you stick by her regardless of what they say.
Parents rarely stay mad forever, and if they see that you form a long lasting relationship with a gyaru, they will come around eventually.
Trust your own instincts rather than relying on the first impressions and opinions of other people. It's your life, and you only get one.
