They all seemed to prefer touching me. I'm not sure what most Japanese guys think about western women here, in terms of their sexuality. One of my female friends was shouted at by some old guy who said "Go back to America! You American women only come here for sex!" - Japan being such a sexual utopia for gaijin girls!

One other thing, mercedesjin, have you tried speaking in a low voice? High-pitched voices make it sound like you're trying to be cute, apparently.
Oh, that's exciting. :/ I hope that's not a popular view of American women.

You're right, I noticed that thing about voice pitch too. I was a little younger, so my voice was naturally a little squeaky. I got called cute a few times for it. I'm definitely going back with the deepest voice I can manage, though. Do you think that would make people think I'm "one of the guys"?


LOVE: pass it on
