I found it to be more specific then most other post that tend to generalize dating Foreigns. The cucumber part was really cute and funny to me. Any advice on dating a Japanese guy for foreign women? I am Thai, but I speak both English and Thai. Do Japanese guys like foreign women? I guess in the dating world or the world in general it is just who you meet. Some people are more open minded and more understanding than other people. Had I not traveled or lived in Korea for a year I think I would be too.

Japanese women despise dating foreign men. They have a bad habit of blocking or ignoring you if you show any interest. If you like or love a foreigner and your parents don’t like the idea..they tell the girl to break up (even if it’s a fiancé). The girl will do it w/o question.

I greatly enjoyed reading your post! I have the option to study abroad in Japan for my degree and have been researching various matters for a while. The question of how Japanese natives feel towards foreigners is a frequent thought that I normally research. Your post gave an interesting insight by using your own experience to explain the differences you have seen. By explaining these differences, I even learned more about the culture (such as how you aren’t supposed to leave the bathroom doors open. I’ll have to remember that when I go to Japan!) through your anecdotes.

I personally appreciated your post and will definitely be reading more of your posts. :)
