Top 10 Foreigners Japanese Want to Date

usa-tank-top-bikini-joey-jones-lina-davis-by-atma.jpg

Japanese asked “If you had the chance to date a foreigner, what nationality would you like to try?” yield up a ranking of nations which provides very little in the way of surprise.

The ranking, with the number of votes received:

1. USA – 4,194

2. Italy – 3743

3. UK – 3,467

4. France – 3,249

5. Korea – 2,706

6. Spain – 1,535

7. Russia – 1,256

8. Germany – 1,195

9. Brazil – 396

10. China – 296

Japanese understanding of barbarian races tends to be closely tied to the same sort of pervasive media stereotypes seen elsewhere, probably explaining most of the list. China’s dismal placement at dead last is thus highly unsurprising.

    This isn't surprising. It's no surprise that they would want to date other Asians, Brazil has a high Japanese or mixed Japanese population, and we all know Japan's love of white people. On Spain? Well, who doesn't love the Spanish?

    So does anybody here have any idea whether these were the ONLY ten countries you could choose from in the poll, or is it that could you write in any country you want, like Sierra Leone or Dominica or wherever? Because if the latter was the case, it makes Brazil and China's "low" standings actually pretty good.

    In American they speak spanish. In Spain they speak Castilian. It's similar but there are lots of differences, appart from the accent.
    Latin American culture and Spanish (Europe) culture are totally different too. For example, in America have an acentuated religion culture.

    The survey in the above link is obviously untrue if you have spent a long time in Japan, it was probably conducted by some American media just like how the Hollywood movies always protrait an American man's fantasy in Asian women, but when you grow up and go to Asia, you'll find out thats not the case in the real world.

    Because most East Asian women (Japan, China, Korea) are not interested in white/black men at all! You'll also seen from the interracial couples, where an Asian woman accompanying a white man, those women are usually the ugly mid-aged ones who apparently cant get a normal E. Asian BF or escort agent's hookers that cost USD$150 per hour in Shanghai?

    This is the fact that many western men still deny to accept, but its the truth.

    A friend of mine tends to complain that Westerners are here in Asia to steal our girls, and are successful because (1)they tend to have more money and (2)bigger dicks.

    Sometimes, I can't help but agree.

    But seeing that this is a poll on dating and not marrying, its only normal that you'll want to date someone who is different now and then, and not the same kind of people you see every day.

    But you know, as a guy myself, I would like to date some Americans too. I know a few myself.

    You would think Brazil and China would be higher, based on the "exotic" factor.

    I think USA / UK / Italy / France were voted higher because they are the most popular Nations, even if people online have junk to say about them and basically spit out every stereotype they can.

    When people think of "foreigners" or "gaijin", they think of Americans first, France, then England. If Americans were to be polled online about which foreigner they would date: Russia / France / Germany / Brazil would be the highest voted.

    Overall it is rather predictable when you think about it. Then you have to take exactly why people voted, are they voting for the typical Caucasian /Euro look or taking other appearances into consideration?

    Chinese Girls are good if they come from the middle class side of town. The ones that are from kind of poor but still often okay side. The poorer ones like the farmers are... ridiculous at best and the well to do ones are often just as prissy if not even more than American "mean girls". If you see any girl remotely close to well dressed and in makeup, you can probably bet there is a sugar daddy somewhere or else that girl has a family that is living the high life.

    ok first off im an american and i can tell you a couple things right now there are tons of "fat" people here tha thing is most americans call themselves fat when they are 3 pounds above the average weight of people in the entire world. second off americans dnt normally abuse their women. third off the average american man is usually bigboned so he usually looks fat when he actually has rather low fat percentage. fourth off the average american man doesn't really become obese until his mid to late 30's. fifth off the average americn is not an f***ing redneck u dumb foreighners. sixth off most american guys who would actually like a japanese girl are otaku and/or are skinny guys who love anime/manga and are often annoyed by preppy girls that live here in america. last off next time you want to insult americans get your facts straight and visit america for at least 3 years or else your going to get your ass kicked and your words force fed to you via a plastic tube in the E.R. :3 i think i proved my point so ciya nimrods

    These people are definitely confusing what they see in T.V. and movies as reality, most Americans are definitely not like that. Oh and by Americans they most likely mean Caucasians, not surprising since that's pretty much all you see in movies. Statistically speaking, most of us Americans are overweight bastards, not that I'm overweight or anything.

    Regardless, I could care less what the Japanese want, my fascination with Japan is purely of the fictional world.

    lmao,so the Japanese are still that uneducated about the Gaijin lurking out there... America is by far the worst nation one could pick her partner from ( that is if you mind people for having no culture,being fat and whatever else matters).

    They must be really open minded to chose a partner from a land that bares no culture (all cultural background they have comes from Europe+Asia except the native idianic culture) and specializes having a high criminality rate and a high amount of people with guns.../swt.

    I wouldn't say that in matter of fatness America is worse than Europe because here we have 50-60% rates of overweighted people as well
    (however the BMI is the shit,if you are about 180 cm tall you can have a weight between like 65-85kg before you're overweight,that's like 20 kg difference between really thin and already fat,even with like 75kg I still have an enlarged belly <_< and with 85 kg I was like already fat and 60% of my people are even fatter...).

    Another problem of chosing America is because the people itself are not really American but from Europe/Asia/Africa so if they'd date an American i don't see a reason why they'd rather not date Europeans/Africans/Asians instead, I don't think they want native idian boyfriends/husbands...

    About the UK/Italy-votes, I think they are more commonly know and that's why they seem more popular than other countries...
    However,the Spain-votes surprised me, I don't know why but somehow Spain seems to be popular in Japan, I'd still wish they'd prefer Germany more (although most guys (aged 12-28) over here nowadays are just birdbrained alcoholics or even more birdbrained foreigners with a vocabulary of like 500 words max...
    Well, since I prefer Korean women over Japanese I don't care about that though,it may be for the best that some details about our country remain unbeknownst to girls from other countries xD

(and for every fat person there’s one or tow thin people) 3) the thing about America we got EVERY type of person here of every race so saying what a American look like is next to imposable (and it is hard for both American’s and Canadian’s to tell one another apart) 4) why it all about money or look’s maybe they like and crazy loud overbearing personalities at lest where fun :P

    This list is bogus, how can Germany, France and the UK be on here and not that tiny country between them?

    I'm sort of surprised that USA is first, but the rest is sort of what I expected (OK maybe swap France and UK around :P)
