Is it so terrible for a person who never got any attention in his/her home country to capitalize on his/her newfound popularity? Of course if they hurt people or take advantage of them, that is not right. I have seen lots of "average" guys and gals from the West use their foreign charms to meet people, make friends, date, etc. Both men and women.

"No girls would talk to me in America, but here in Japan, they are actually interested in what I have to say,"

If that was my experience, you can't really blame them for being more social . . .
