[Sangetsu]

My girlfriend is Japanese, and we've been together for nearly 5 years now. It wasn't because she was Japanese that I was attracted to her, I was attracted to her because she was beautiful, smart, and we had many interests in common.

Superficial attractions lead to superficial relationships. I know any number of Japanese women who are quite beautiful in appearance, but despite their beauty, I am not tempted, appearances are very often deceiving. An exotic exterior cannot make up for a mediocre interior.
