Not sure you’re right there …. i know plenty of girls that like western men. Agree that Japanese blokes should smarten their act up though, as the new breed of guys are from what i can tell.

don’t be silly– the vast majority of japanese women want nothing to do with foreign men, and this change for the better in japanese men will make that tiny number dwindle even more. white guys are seen as hairy, smelly, fat, and emotionally independent. YUCK!

Love the story, but don’t quite see where the picture fits in. It’s definitely on a train right? I lived in Japan for a while a few years ago, and it reminds me of the time I was on the train, and some random Japanese guy decided to sleep on my shoulder. He had a really heavy head! I would push him away, and then he would sleep on the other person next to him. She would do the same, and eventually I just gave up, and let him sleep on me for the rest of the journey. When it came to the last stop however, the guy wouldn’t wake up. It took me and some other guy a good few minutes, slapping this guy around the face till he came to. When he did, (and this is the best bit) he just got up like totally nothing happened, and walked off like it was just a normal day. Not a word, not a flinch, didn’t even look in our direction. Just left. Me and the guy stood there for a while trying to figure out what the hell just happened!

Great Blog by the way, and sorry for writing so much.

As i relax in Melbourne on what’s going to be a stinking hot 42′C New Years Eve i came across an interesting story on CNN about a growing group, ~4500 members so far, of Japanese men trying to be better husbands….

Gender issues are always an interesting discussion in Japan – especially when it comes to relationships. Japan is still much more gender split than the US or the UK, but I think with more people, especially foreigner visitors, treating genders equally they will make big steps

It’s a good position to be in i agree, just treating a lady how she should be treated and we’re viewed so highly ….. i know you’re kidding about the listening part …. most of the time anyway.
