  2.  @nessyness5447  Lol, you're spitting the same old stereotypes you picked from the internet here and there. I HAVE worked in Japan. MOST Japanese salarymen don't want to engage with the Japanese workforce AT ALL! Companies don't assume that women will leave after they give birth. It's literally what happens: they give birth and give up career almost entirely. This has led to companies being wary about employing women full-time. Japanese women are presented with two paths: participating in the depressing work culture of Japan or housewife lifestyle. And a lot of them understandably pick the latter. Men don't have the househusband lifestyle readily available to them. And hence end up getting the short end of the stick. It's so weird how y'all are trying to make it seem like women are having it sooo bad in Japan. Like Christ calm down. Ultimately everything does boil down to Japan's social problems pertaining to work culture and unaddressed mental health problems, not "social expectations for your gender" bs like the orginal commenter suggests.

  3.  @yas2316  It's just internationally dominant Western media promoting those stereotypes.

  4.  @QuinnTheTailor  it's just plain old inferiority complex. My cousin and I are South Asian. She was unable to get married until like 28-29 cuz she had weird standards for the local men here but as soon as she got the chance to study abroad in UK and spent some time in the UK... she's now married to some Brit who looks like a literal potato and his income is lower than my cousin's too. I was quite suprised how she lowered her standards so much to get that white guy. I don't even feel like she's happy now... most of the time she just calls her parents and vents about this and that about living in UK with him.

  5. Wait I noticed this too!!! I think Racheal and Jun are the most popular Japanese male foreign woman couple! I also like Oriental Pearl and that Japanese guy British woman youtuber couple, Oshare Japan, etc.

  6.  @unknowguy7604  Apparently they're more popular than Western male Japanese female youtubers...so you're clearly wrong. 😂

  7.  @melteixie1618  do me a favour. Look up surveys and stats(both private and government funded) and see what percentage of Japanese women (who have finished college) want to stay as housewives voluntarily ....and then come back to this conversation. Your perception about Japanese ladies might slightly change.

  8.  @FSVR54  They're just a loud minority haha. Screaming in joy that they can finally live their anime dream (which will just stay as a dream) 😂😂.

  9.  @nessyness5447  yes they're shamed if they're not married by 30 and whatnot. But they're not shamed for being working wives.

  10.  @nessyness5447  at this point you're just making me 🥱🥱🥱🥱. Japanese men aged 18-35 do take part in doing their share of household chores. That was what I observed back in the day and I safely assume it has only gotten better with time. Women not giving enough birth has a whole set of issues contributing to that problem. Women from most developed countries don't give enough births but western countries are able to artificially dwarf this effect due...to immigration and high immigrants' birth rates. In Japan, increasing living costs, Government's bad family planning policies, gruelling work culture--a whole set of issues lead to low birth rates. And the people who are going to suffer from this demographic collapse aren't just men, it's both Japanese men and women.

  11. Nah man... that's just you assuming a lot about yourself negatively. Nowadays, a lot of foreign women are open to dating Japanese. Japanese guys should give it a shot even if you think they'll reject you! We need a nice balance of Japanese male foreign woman and foreign man Japanese female haha.

  12. Exactly. As an Asian I can confirm that a lot of Asian women have this extreme inferiority complex or fetish or idolize Western men! Which makes it easier for foreign men in Japan to date local girls.

  13. Yeah Osaka is more direct and open!

  14.  @mahek3017  why are you spamming this everywhere

  15. One thing tho. What's the ratio of foregn girls to foreign guys in Japan? Maybe it's more skewed towards the foreign guys side?

  16. Sounds fun. I'll look into it.

  17.  @melteixie1618  That's not strict gender roles and social expectations. Nobody forces these women to give up their careers and become housewives. That's the point. Heck, every Japanese man would love to be a househusband if the women over there were willing to provide for them cuz no Japanese wants to put up with their soul-sucking work culture.

  18. She ended the interview by saying now she's looking for Japanese men cuz foreign men aren't going to be interested in foreign women anyway...

  19.  @hastamanana8696  It's been some time since I made that comment and now i resonate with what you said so much. One of my close friend who worked as English teacher got cheated on by his Japanese wife and she has the kids now in Japan.... These women just look innocent. OMG

  20.  @shellyannegoh6054  I don't think Japanese guys want you either...

  21.  @minitetourou8744  In Japan, Japanese men already date outside more than japnese women. But the women Japanese men marry out with are Filipino, Indonesian, Korean, and other kinds of Asians mostly. Japanese men-Western women pairing happens the lowest but has been steadily increasing.

  22.  @fm0363  As it should be. English is destroying other languages. In Denmark, around 35% of young kids (5-14) speak English better than Danish!!!!! This is unacceptable!!! Japan might face the same fate!

  23. Japan girls are EXTREMELY passive. So foreign guys try to take advantage of this by looking for Japanese girls who have fetishes for Western guys.

  24.  @kewlenjo219  Ummm... just saying cheating in general is a bit of a problem in Japan. The men don't cheat MORE than women. In Japan, around 22% women and 28% men cheat. But the thing is a lot of these cheaters define their boundaries very loosely and liberally and their partners don't care either, which is where you probably got that "cultural trend of cheating is not a big deal" from. As long as you define your boundaries properly and don't meet Japanese on shady apps like tinder you should be good.

  25.  @minitetourou8744  No, I'm not Japanese. But my cousin is dating a Japanese guy which is why I'm interested in learning about interracial dating.

  26. That has vastly changed in today's Japan...but go ahead and keep promoting those stereotypes.

  27. I think by foreign women they mean white women.

  28.  @brielle4558  It's actually the opposite. Japanese women fetishize and have white fever for foreigners more than the other way around. Source: I'm Asian.

  29.  @Greenforrest7342  Are you Japanese guy? Would you be open to dating foreign women?
