"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 . . .
Not at all, like Jasonvbr I was refering only to the negative side of the situation, womanizing. People being lied to, manipulated and taken advantage of only for sex ain't cool. This kind of behavior actually contributes to the racism that does exist towards foreigners. I've had to work really hard with my finacee to convince her that all American's aren't womanizers. That there are normal people in America raising families, have values, morals and a sense of responsibility to their family and spouse.
