Marriage in Japan

Share
I’ve been reading a lot lately about the Japanese birth rate. Japan has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, and the population is aging rapidly – Japan’s population is actually shrinking as fewer babies are born to replace the elderly people who die. The Japanese government is concerned about the low birth [...]

Japanese men Notice the Japanese girls Foreigners Date

I have a friend who is the Japanese president of a U.K. owned men's brand. We've known each other for about six years.

Japanese Women Looking For Men For Language Exchange

Why do some Japanese women only want men for language exchange?

So, shy people shouldn't worry [...]

Just What Do (Some) Japanese Men Think of Women?

Share
The cover of a very popular Japanese women's magazine (an an, dated 2006.5.31, No. 1513) has a nude woman lying down with one of her legs in the air and a pink Valentine heart where her vagina is. Strangely, this monthly magazine isn't considered pornographic, and it features a wide range of life-style articles.

A Quest for respect?

Share
An observation: more Japanese women seem to travel abroad to study English than Japanese men. When asked "Why?", Japanese women answer, "I want to talk to many cultures" or "I want to work in a foreign company." Many of the women do not have business degrees and come back to Japan only to earn 200000 [...]
