How to woo (respectfully) a Japanese woman?
What kind of mistakes should be avoided?
What kind of compliment are they sensible to?
What kind of humour makes them laugh?
What are the values of a man (European) that affects them in particular?

Married Japanese, do they wear an alliance (finger ring)? Otherwise, what sign helps to distinguish them?
Thanks and regards.

respectfully you are asking a question which assumes that all Japanese women are the same. You are generalizing it's the same asking how to woo a German or Chinese woman. I would ask the question and try to be specific about what you like to know about Japanese women. I get what you are trying to say its just that not every women is the same.

Step one;

Assume that every woman, regardless of race and nationality, is a separate individual with distinct preferences and tastes.

Until you manage to get past that, you`ll get nowhere.

Seriously, there are WAY too many people who makes threads like this - with broad generalizations. Can you give foolproof advice for "wooing" a woman of your country? I somehow doubt it.

Yeah, shallow women here will marry you if you've got a thick wallet.
XPP

But no, overall, I agree with you Nyororin.

I get the feeling the original poster isn`t looking for marriage. Otherwise, he`d be more willing to get to know the person and their background rather than wanting a way to tell married from unmarried at first glance...

Just be funny and confident. If she likes you she likes you, if not move on.

This.
