Questions for the Japanese men
 
I'm not sure this is where this goes or not, but I have a few questions for all the Japanese men out there.

1.Is height a big issue? I've met a lot of Japanese guys online who were '5"8 (just two inches taller then me ^.^
') and they always say height is a big issue for them, like they want a shorter girl.

2.Do Japanese guys find American women attractive? (I'm hoping this depends on the guy) but I've heard a lot of Japanese guys say that they would never date a American woman.

I'm not sure if I'll have more questions later but these are the two main ones.
Thank you -bows- ^.^

2. Hell yes.

I am 5'8 and I don't think they will mind my height. Unless the guy has mental issues (shorty syndrome), most men wouldn't mind dating us.

It's more like girls don't dig for shorter men in general, and I-HAVE-TO-LOOK-LIKE-A-MAAN factor is a lot stronger in the US than in Japan. Whatever the case, I don't see many guys going out with women who are taller than them, or speak in a language that isn't their own (Non-English) to their partners here in the states ether. It all comes down to personal preferences I guess. I don't mind going out with a girl who is an inch or two taller than me but I don't think I'll be attracted to a girl who is 8" taller, like 6'4". Not like she would be to me of course. Anyway, as long as a girl is hot and has a good personality, height is pretty much the bottom of the list, I think for most guys.

Umm, slight exaggeration there...

All guys around the world want to be taller than their girls.

It's personal taste, some find white women attractive some don't. Remember, even in the same race, guys taste in girls vary. In other words, I might find this blond attractive but not the other one.

If there is a Japanese guy your interested in, go for it, just ask/ study Japanese girls and see how they go about it. Even though the basic courtship thing is the same around the world, the signaling is a bit different in Japan compared to America.

Basically, be some what shy and quiet but responsive. Also, smile a lot and laugh at his jokes, that will give him the room he needs to make his moves. In, subtle ways, show your encouraging the relationship.

I lived in Japan for a while, with a lot of other foreigners and japanese people in a guesthouse. Believe me when I say it happens as often as quadruplets.
The only foreign girl (and there were plenty of pretty beautiful girls in that house) with a japanese bf was a rather small, anorexic swedish girl (plus she was very blonde and only nineteen years old).
Sorry, but thats what it usually is like.

Even if it's rare, you shouldn't put people off by making it sound as if it would NEVER happen under any circumstances. I'm sure there are Japanese men out there who wouldn't mind dating a "tall" (how tall are we talking here?) American girl. After all, not every Japanese man is a midget...

I've known several Japanese men/Western woman couples and even married couples. My former boss was a rather short Japanese man with an American wife who was a little taller than him.

Is it possible Japanese men don't want to date foriegn women who stay in Guest Houses? That's almost like dating a woman who stays in a hotel or weekly mansion. Not a very permanent feel to it.

The majority of guys, even here, in Europe, want a shorter girl. If it's equally the same as you or taller, it's a turn off.

I suppose Japanese guys don't differ that much, unless you're a hot tall chick with a body that stands out in a crowd.

Good, I was about to say that too.

:pinksong: I have a couple of friends in Japan that I e-mail with and from what I hear they like tall girls/women. So my advice is if you want a Japanese boyfriend/girlfriend go for it.

And while we are on the subject of height;
Please stop talking for tall people><
I am 6 foot three and I totally :rheart: love:rheart: shorter guys:)
My cut off point for a guys height (that I would date) is around 5 foot seven.

I know a lot of tall ladies who like short guys and short guys who like tall women as well..... so please stop lumping all of us tall gals in with guys who have an issue with height.
Besides most tall guys (from the US) have their heads so far up their a** that it's just plain scary.A lot of guys (and yes there are some women too) just need to get over the whole "my chick needs to be shorter then me" attitude. )

There I feel a little better now.
I guess that part of my point is that it people get all hung up on height and it shouldn't matter.

Give tall people a chance:):D
Peace Out:vsign:

Well, I dated three japanese guys.
Two were semi-tall, one was just two inches taller than me.
And I'm shoorrttt.


I am dating a Korean boy who is 1/8 Japanese, and he's the tallest I've been with. ^^

So...maybe height isn't an issue for some.

GreyGhost 09-13-2010 11:30 PM

Thank you all for your encouragements! Though I haven't found a Japanese boy yet (due to the fact there seems to be none in my town or the towns around me TT.TT) I feel that if I do meet one I will have enough courage to at least say hi, arigato ^.^

GreyGhost 09-23-2010 03:34 AM

Great News!!!


I have met a 20 year old Japanese guy on a website called Japancupid.com, though he lives in Colorado, and I in Florida we really hit it off and talk almost everyday for hours on end, as well as with webcams, He's very sweet, and caring towards me; he also says he doesn't find Japanese women attractive at all and finds American women to be very beautiful (or at least just me because he calls me beautiful and kawaii every time he sees me :o ) he's 5'6" and though I'm 5'6" 1/3 my profile on there says I'm 5'7" (figured I'd put it up seeing how I'm almost there lol) and he does not mind at all :) , so I guess in the end it does just depend on the guy, so to all the girls out there who want a Japanese guy but feel they will not be found attractive or believe they are too tall (like I once did), do not give up hope, all Japanese men do not want the same thing, you just have to find the right one ;)
