Doubtless_Mouse: I have lived here for 13 years, and I love it. It has been my experience that there are more women who are good looking than ugly. I think part of it is lifestyle, they tend to have a better diet, so many women here are thin. Likewise I am biased in what I find to be attractive. I love asian women (OK I love all women, but Asian women really trip my trigger). Granted not all asian women are beautiful, again you have the full spectrum of people, thin - fat, nice - mean, cute - ugly, shy - extraverted, etc.
One thing I can say from my expereinces is that Japanese women have less sexual hang-ups than the American women I dated prior to coming here. I am not saying all Japanese women vr. All American women, just the ones I have been with. The American women tended to be a little more one sided, what they liked and enjoyed was more important than WE liked and enjoyed. I remember one girl in the US would not give head, I mean she wouldn't do anything but missionary. Most of women I dated in the states had very closed minds sexually speaking. They thought of some things as degrading (doggy style), they were worried what other people thought (which is funny because no one knew what we did in bed), and lastly they were less likely to engage in sex spontaniouly (when I say this I don't mean being easy, I mean if we went for a drive and found a dark road, I would be tempted to stop and have sex, they were more like, "What now, this is not the time or place. Wait until we get home and go to bed). In Japan, I have had more spontanious sex, maybe walking along a beach, hiking in the woods, driving at night, etc. The Japanese women I have known, tended to be a little more open minded about sex as a whole. A few girls in the states were a little more open to ideas, but not like over here. My time as a single man here were well spent. I had lots of fun and learned all sots of things that I don't think I would have learned/experienced in the US.
I was dating this one Japanese girl, and out of the blue, she says, "I want to drink you." I had never heard this so I wasn't sure what she meant. Well she showed me, first time I had a girl swallow...
The stereotype of Japanese women being submissive is not true either. In public they may not argue with their husband or boyfriend, but at home it is just like anywhere else. I wouldn't have fell for my wife had she not been as strong willed as she is. She tells me exactly what she thinks, and says no to me on many topics, not what I would call submissive by any strech of the term.
