I have dated a total of 8 Japanese women (that is not counting relationships that were less than 1 month, or ones that were not clearly defined as what they were). The problem with your generalizations is, well just that, they are generalizations. Are anyone of these things common through all the girls you have dated or your friends have? I sure as hell cannot find one, and I am hard pressed to find one that even applies at all, to any of the girls I have dated. So that says to me that these cannot be applied only to how Japanese women act because there are sure to be women all over the world who exhibit these traits (as individuals, not as well defined cultural norm).

Anyhow lets just go through this list and see....

1. Does your Japanese girlfriend/wife get angry on a whim/out of the blue? (example: You didn't like an udon noodle and now you have done it! She wants you dead, your friends dead, family dead, in hell, and says your bald and old even though your only 24 years old!)

Never dated any J-girl who exhibited this behavior, sounds like someone who needs to get back on their meds is all.

(example: You took a shower, got a haircut, sprayed your extremely small Japanese container of axe on yourself, and your still treated as if someone barfed up silver dollar pancakes at Dennys.)

Again, nope.

Every girl I dated had a regular job, or was a college student, and had a normal balanced attitude towards work and play time.

Hell, no. Why would any guy put with dating such a slob. Isn't this usually the other way around anyway.. I think this generalization might work better for Japanese guys though.. or most any guys I guess.

No, and your example here is really stupid and illustrates nothing, because it is poorly exaggerated.

No. What are you even saying here..? all Japanese women act so ridiculous it's like they have Schizophrenia? Again.. retarded.

No, and the only one I will give you here is the thing about the fan at night. But I never heard it from a girlfriend, just a Japanese dude friend of mine's mom.

What?

Sorry, no again.

(example: When mommies were mad in the Edo Period they would run to nearby shrines at night to consult other women. In present day, they just don't answer their keitai, and count the seconds it takes you to find them (because it's dangerous at night.)

Wow, this one is really dumb.

Yes, she can.

Ahh. Now this is common. But the whole dating the mom thing... no. And sorry but I am pretty sure mother-in-laws have a bad rep anywhere on earth.

(example: Recent statistics ?citation need? show that the youth (35 years old and younger) want to visit foreign countries but not actually live there anymore. France is too dangerous right?)

No.

She wants you to be the Prince Charming from a Disney flick, but without the Euro trash...even though you are American!)

No, and how would you even observe this?

He never said to think on your own! Therefore after all those years in school, your girlfriend still makes some rather bad decisions due to lack of this crucial skill. And this can be a time consuming issue too!)

I will give you this one to some extent, mostly when it comes to frivolous things. Your example is condescending and not funny though.

Yes, I can talk rationally with her/them.

(example: Stagnation has trickled down from Japans economy to the roots of your relationship, and you have to go Hanshin earthquake magnitude 10.0, shindo 9 on her butt in order to get a little change! SHE apologies, promises not to act that way again...but...a week/month/year later its back to the same problems... Like I always said you can't polish a turd! Oh wait Myth Busters says the Japanese figured out a way...It is called darudango! <-this was an insensitive comment. I am truly sorry, so do not take it personally fellow readers!)

Again no.

(This one is for some organic SEO in google, but it's still an legitimate issue...) (example: She doesn't know the facts, she wasn't taught the facts, so you try to discuss these issues and it causes a fight. Remember "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil!")

Yes, and mostly never really bring it up. And it was a normal discussion for those that I did bring it up with.

Yes, and no. But how is this even supposed to be exclusive to Japanese women?

Childish how? Like in an annoying way that is totally uncalled for, or in a cute way?

Anyhow there you go. I really do not agree with the majority of this, as it is a bunch of generalizations that really don't hold any water, and the examples are just silly, stupid or rude.
