I don't wanna seem like I'm some sort of celebrity icon here, but honestly a decent looking foreigner will have a hard time shaking off the trash here.
These days I've found some more respectable circles of less slutty people to hang out with, but it may just be because they're new that they don't feel comfortable enough to do what the last bunch has done. ><
Where are the other foreign guys here who've been in Japan a while? And experienced what I mean? I know I'm not the only one ...
The more Japanese I learn the more intense it gets too.
It's getting hard to find a good group of friends to hang out with in which I don't make all the guys jealous and some of the girls distracted.
I swear I'm not conceited ... just saying it how it is, honestly I'm an "average" at best back home.
I guess the resolution is to find places where I can hang out where I don't get pounced on. Sometimes it happens while my girlfriend is right beside me, which infuriates her ... even though I don't react to it -_-

HI James, I guess its rather like back in WW2 when the americans came to UK-- and the local females fell madly in love with them. they handed out bubble gum and nylon stockings-- and many girls HA HA ended up with an extra mouth to feed.
Maybe its like that in OKINAWA or where else the American service men are. there is an attraction to someone different really.
Maybe the girls look at you as a way of escaping their own world.
maybe you should have a sign on your T shirt--Not available!
Or something that might put them off- sure u can think of something LOL.
