Interesting thread!

I've been to Japan many times and I've also lived with over 50 Japanese girls who were in Canada for their working holiday or student visa. (Long story!)

For the most part, the girls that I've met in Canada expressed similar opinions as those stated by bELyVIS and Keaton421. Meanwhile, I've also met girls in Japan who liked the Japanese men the way they were and scoffed at the girls who were living outside of Japan. Some even called them traitors.

In any event, I think bELyVIS hit it on the spot with this statement.

I can see that Japan is starting to act more westernized and the younger people are changing. I don't know if it is good or bad but maybe we will lose what makes Japan so beautiful and unique. Just my opinion.
