Japanese guys tend to be effeminate, clingy, and immature. And in general, they really don't know how to make a woman happy - they're mama's boys.

You won't read this in any book, but she said that Japanese men still subscribe to the Samurai way of treating women, as compared to the European knight; it's alright to love your wife and defend her honor, but you're above her and you shouldn't show too much love.

Her words, not mine
I think your or your girlfriend's perceptions are as valid as an anime.

Seriously that's some ego you've got there. Reminds me of the South Park episode when the Japanese manage to inflitrate America by telling the Americans they all have big penises.
