I don’t really care about if a girl is compatible with my interests or not, but I guess many guys do. I just care if the girl looks good and that is my main problem with Japan. So many women aren’t attractive to me. I had to increase my standards and look beyond just physical appearances only AFTER I had done so much damage to the frail egos of many a Japanese girl. And yes I am paying for my mistakes, but you live and you learn. So I hope that puts some things into perspective from a veteran point of view.

Over the years I have become enamoured with the Japanese culture , studying and learning more and more everyday about the culture, therfore, it would be very heartbreaking to discover that this is the perspective all Japanese have about my culture.

Anyway, as I said before, thank you and God bless.
(wow I wrote a novel, huh? )

Personally as a Jamaican compatibility and similar interests is very important to me.

I can see where Morimotosan is coming from though and her understanding of Jamaica is growing each day as she experiences the people and culture fist hand. She has only been here for a year but her learning experiences will continue. She made an excellent followup post on her blog that I will edit the post above and link to.

Not to say that there aren’t social factors to take into consideration. Obviously, the disparate economies of the two nations plays a factor. However, saying that “unstable family structures” create this type of sexual libido seems to make as much as sense as saying suicide rates in Japan are high because trains are too crowded.
