And yes, of course, there are honest caring women here and there are some superficial shallow men here. I know that. There are jewels and exceptions in every society. I have dated women who were honest and non-shallow. I'm not putting down every single woman in this country.
The issue I have is the culture itself and the sheer amount of superficial women here. I realize Japan is not an oasis but I was looking for something better than here.

Have you ever heard of Visual Kei?
It's an entire Japanese music style based on appearance. And if you Google it, you will find that it is very, very popular. Girls of all ages fill VK artist's concerts with open eyes and closed ears. They are there because the artists are "OMG HAWT!" (though there are a few good bands out there, don't get me wrong).
Japan is as superficial, if not more, than America, and VK is only the tip of the ice burg of superficiality. Your problem isn't that you're just not "hot" enough, it's more than likely that you have bad social skills.
There are unattractive guys with girlfriends, and there are attractive guys without girlfriends. It isn't about looks, it's about how you come off to someone. Don't go tossing the blame on America when it's yourself you need to work on. As MMM said, it will only follow you, even if you decide to fly to the moon.
