Im a little worried... - 08-15-2009, 09:55 PM

I heard on a thread that the japanese love light skin. They think its beautiful. And so do i. But Im not white. Im a light skinned black guy, who totally lovesthe japanese and their culture. I want to marry a japanese girl...but would a japanese woman accept me if Im not as light as I could be? Or would it be a challenge for me to find a japanese woman who accepts my darker skin tone? I really need answers here!

Japanese and black couples aren't very common. But they obviously exist.
In all honesty your chances may not be as good as a white or Japanese man. But there are definitely plenty of Japanese girls out there who won't care.

I just think it's odd that you would focus on only finding a Japanese girl for marriage. What if the perfect girl for you isn't Japanese? You should broaden your prospects man.

Anyways, good luck.

Don't worry, they are attracted to how you act more than your skin color. Not all girls will like you, but that goes for all skin colors.

How much experience do you actually have living in Asia???

Anyway, some girls will be fine, most will think you're UGLY AS FU** (sorry to be harsh, but don't shoot the messenger)...

Focusing on nationality is pretty childish, anyway. How old are you?

I'm not gonna sugar coat it for you - Japanese people can be slower to open up to darker skinned people (not to mention foreigners in general) - but that certainly doesn't mean it's not possible. I've seen black/asian couples before, both in and outside Japan. I'm more worried about the fact that you only want to marry a Japanese girl, that's a bit narrow minded. There's nothing special about Japanese women compared to any other culture.

One of the best pickup artists in Japan is a black American. I knew him in Osaka and he was pretty amazing. Learned alot from him.
