Now it took me years of putting an adv. in the personals before I got a response that was compatible. I find Japanese women approachable if you are a kind and decent person. Perhaps I am lucky. She's a great wife. We live in the USA. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. My wife is Japanese and I met her through the personals.

I used to date a Japanese guy (in the US) and the first thing most people (especially guys) asked was about his penis size.." Stereotypes are based on fact, but they don't apply to everyone, which is the problem with stereotypes! The size thing is enough of a fact that condoms are significantly smaller in Japan, so average size is smaller or Japanese men refuse to complain about the inadequate condom size, which is unlikely. “man, i hate how people have these sexual stereotypes about Asians, and feel completely normal talking about them right away.

Most of my friends (male) always tend to put the image of Japan for: "Finding an amazing Japanese girlfriend". I mean, isn't that just a some kind of a brainwash for Caucasian male? I mean, I am a female and I am Asian, but I do not think that way. And I agree on your last paragraph: "Japan's a wonderful place, but it's not really a good one in which to seek true love". Love can be anywhere! That is what I believe. I agree on what you wrote.
