"Amae" - this is pretty darned insulting to Japanese women, who are NOT childlike in anything other than outer behavior when judged by western standards. Even if I try to think of this as seriously outdated, it`s STILL a chauvinistic western man`s view. "NYRORIN"


HI Nyororin-- My japanese friend Can be extremely childish in her attitude. I cannot think of any of my English aquaintances behaving as She Does. she takes things very seriously-- but when her mood changes-- which it does-- rather suddenly-- she acts like a very young child-- and she is actually in her late sixties. She does take her studies extremely seriously-- and will never take a day off college. Having worked for a large Japanese company for most of her working life-- often- working till midnight--------But I love it when she is childish for a while.
