Many others had all these wild misconceptions about what it meant or would be like to have a foreign bf, some really ridiculous shit too.
One of her friends expected that I'd want to be a stay-at-home-dad asap and stop working to leave the salarywoman responsibility to my gf..
In other words, most people simply don't know.
They think we are sex gods, or they think we have soft penises, they think we do all the housework, they think we talk to much, they think we stink, they think we know zero Japanese, or they think we are obviously fluent, they think we are in the military or that we are violent and love to show off muscles, they think so many things and most of all they think nothing or just don't care.
When it comes to one night stands, it's easy for Japanese men too lol, not just westerners, but I definitely had more luck than my friends when I first got here  including not getting chlamydia like he did lol >< |
Ahh, are you talking about this from a resident/long time stayer point of view, or a tourist one? I assumed you meant for tourists before. It would be a lot harder for them right? In terms of a resident, then yeah I see where you're coming from.
Yeah, I guess it all depend on what girl you find, just like anywhere else. But still, I never expected it to be that out in the open. :L
I'm guessing your last paragraph relates to one night stands as a resident too? Seems as you had Japanese friends to take you around and such. Or would you say it's just as easy for a tourist too?
Lol! *high 5*
