Japanese women dream of the USA
DIMSDRIVE performed internet-based research involving 5,274 people in September of last year to find out which country’s citizens would people most want to marry. It is not stated whether or not the people interviewed were single or not.
The Asia versus the West split is quite noticeable in the men, but really striking amongst the women. I previously translated statistics regarding international marriages in Japan that shows that the ideals being expressed here do not seem to be realised.
On a slight tangent, I watched the last episode of an NHK English learning program which features an English-speaking Western blonde angel that prods a clueless office worker along the path to success at her job getting a date with her transferred from New York colleague, the ideal tall, muscular, tanned, well-coiffured white executive. The angel’s job was done because the glaikit Misaki finally pulled her man.
Q: Other than Japanese, which country’s people do you think would be good to have as a partner (husband or wife)? (Sample size=5,274, free answer)
Rank Votes 1 USA 1,144 2 Korea 505 3 UK 442 4 Italy 370 5 France 344 6 Australia 218 7 Germany 203 8 China 197 9 Canada 150 10 Russia 120 Q: Other than Japanese, which country’s people do you think would be good to have as a partner (husband or wife)? (By sex, free answer)
Rank MaleN=2,468 Votes Rank FemaleN=2,806 Votes 1 USA 368 1 USA 776 2 Korea 297 2 UK 347 3 China 174 3 Italy 278 4 France 134 4 France 210 5 Russia 117 5 Korea 208 6 Thailand 99 6 Australia 145 7 UK 95 7 Germany 131 8 Italy 92 8 Canada 99 9= Taiwan 73 9 Switzerland 47 9= Australia 73 10 Spain 34 First, looking at the East-West split - or more accurately, perhaps, the caucasian-Asian split (I’m not aware of any black Western role-models in Japan) we see that for men, 36% of the total votes were for Western wives versus 26% for Asian women, favouring the West (I’m including Russia, with Maria Sharapova as the popular image of the country) by just over a third. However for women there is a marked difference; about 74% in total choose the West (over 40% for the USA alone) versus a mere 7.4% for the East, a massive ten to one vote for Europe and the USA.
Next, looking at the detailed age breakdown, it’s only in the teenage girls group that the USA fails to top the charts, losing out to France and Korea, and equal with the UK. For men in their twenties, American women are preferred over the second-placed Korean women by almost 60%, and the Chinese are back in fifth, gaining just over a third of the number of votes of the USA. However, the older men get, the stronger the charms of the Asian neighbours become, with the gap at its smallest being just a mere three votes. Similarly, for men in their forties and over, Chinese women cut the gap from a third to about a half of the USA score.
For women, as they get older (ignoring the over sixty bracket which has a very small sample size, so may be rather inaccurate) the attraction to American men only get stronger; in their twenties, Americans get just under a quarter of the vote, but by their fifties, it surpasses three in ten. Despite the charms of the disturbingly Harry Potter-like Bae Yong Joon Korean men do not seem to be particularly favoured by the middle-aged demographic.
These two main trends noted above are perhaps reflections on Japanese society as much as on foreign stereotypes. The younger men hold images of themselves as charming the sophisticated Western woman, but as they age (and visit dodgy hostess bars…) they come to realise that perhaps only Asian women could accept their typical Japanese behaviour. For women, after having been around Japanese men for many, many years, they too may come to realise that the Western stereotypes of politeness and chivalry are the only things that could satisty them in marriage.
Bonus points if you can name the people pictured…

this is a heads up to everyone on this thread. i am sure as sun will shine, that we will all read about violent aj going on a deadly virginia tech like rampage soon. I AM URGING THE MODERATORS TO DO SOMETHING, ALERT THE ATHORITIES. violent aj is banned throughout the web.
for the real deal on japanese women and black men check myspace.com/blackpassenger

Plenty of unattractive and short whites, latinos, arabs, etc. pull tons of girls in Japan. The reason is rACE.
I have no intention of pulling any type of “Virginia Tech”. I have no intention of wasting my life like that. I am simply going to expose the japanese and other non-Blacks for how they reallyfeel about our people, and I plan to educate Black people about our own vices. I am doing something positive for our Race, while you are sitting back telling lies about how japanese supposedly like us, when you know good and well that they do not.

Also, MOST Blacks that I speak to agree with me 100%. I might just write a book about Japanese women as well. I’ll call it “Yellow Cabs: Just Like in New York, They Don’t Pick Up Blacks”.

I agree with you to a point dude.

Also, I am not banned throughout the Web. I am only banned on a few sites where people cannot handle the truth. You don’t realize that when you make fun of me, you are doping what Whites do to you. When a white or latino brags about his japanese girls and makes fun of me (calling me short or nerdy, when there is a good possibility that he is nerdy himself, and he knows little about my life) he is making fun of ALL Black people because he knows that Black is undesirable in the eyes of most non-Blacks, especially the east asians. He is attacking my individual characteristics, but he is really talking crap against all Black people. When you Blacks join in and make fun of me, you are really putting yourselves down. I wish that all of you Black people could come to japan so that you could feel that what I am saying is 100% true. Most, not all, but MOST japanese people look down on Blacks as if you are animals.
Also, just because somebody likes your msuic, doesn’t mean that they like you. I urge all Black recording artists to stop sending our music to Japan for them to enjoy whilst grinding on their non-Black foreign lovers. I urge all Blacks to take back Motown from Japan. They like our music, and like styles that are associated with us (what the Jewish-controlled media portrays of us anyway) but they ABHOR us.
Goto Osaka, pizzeria torreze if you want to know what I am TRULY talking about. I’m not going to waste my life on petty VT or stupid childhood rampages like that. I personally believe that it is sick, and I am too important to go out like that. You might not believe me, but 2008 is going to be the year when we see the USA break apart, and you will see firsthand that the majority of what have spoken about when it comes to RACE is 100% FACT.

I never made fun of you f.y.i. and I understand what you are saying (I lived it out in Tokyo for 14 years, I’m black and I came out fine)
but don’t go too far off the edge with the topic at hand AJ. As bad as one may see it, from my purely opinionated point of view, there is racism everywhere and as a result, one should not be bothered by something so bias and stupid. And depending on whom you meet, there is a very likely chance that they are not racist but a free minded individual that one may get along with.

I know SinRave. I’m not talking about you, I am talking about Azrael of GaijinSmash, and the blackpassenger guy. I also speak of numerous other people that think that they are “Hotel Sierra” for making fun of me.
SinRave, you’re righ; racism against Blacks is a worldwide issue. It’ll never end. You might come to peace with it, but personally I don’t like it. I know that everywhere I go (especially in Asia though) I will be treated like garbage, like a subhuman. My purpose is to inform the Black race about this Truth, and try to get them to cast off their foolish ways, many of which are supported by the Zionist Jew-controlled media.

aj, you are a fugly short nerdy unattractive dude with zero, no, minus zero game. and youre angry. again, ive been living in japan for 7 years dude, 7 years and my experience has been the complete opposite of yours. so opposite, i was compelled to write a novel. you can read it when it comes out in april. youve already read the 50 pages i posted on myspace. dude, the problem is you. you are lame and angry. blame your parents with their bad dna. i was born in jamaica, lived in the UK and the US and now Japan. people around the world are not all racist against us negroes completely. you need help.
ViolentAJ said,
January 4, 2008 @ 19:15
blackpassenger, if you are not Black then you do not need game in Japan. I am angry because of various things; if you were in touch with reality, you’d be pissed off too.
I may not be the best-looking guy, but I am highly intelligent. Also, I know that I am not “fugly” as you put it; I am actually one of the better-looking Black people, I am just short (not a problem if you are not Black) and nearsighted (also not a problem if you are not Black).
The only reason why people find me unattractive is my Negroid features.
I know that not ALL people are racist against us. I have White, Latino, and even JAPANESE friends. I am just saying that MOST people are racist against us, not all.
blackpassenger said,
January 5, 2008 @ 00:13
aj, everyone, black, white or blue, needs game everywhere. by game i mean interpersonal communication skills, an ounce of which you do not have. get over it, or go on a virginia tech rampage already. we are all expecting it.
ViolentAJ said,
January 5, 2008 @ 06:30
You know what blackpassenger, “brotha”, up yours. It’s people like you that are the reason why the decent Blacks do not have cohesion among our ranks.
I do indeed have interpersonal communication skills, but I lack them with people that I know have hatred towards me. Also, Japanese girls throw themselves at whites, latinos,a nd other non-Black gaijin, while if a Black says “hello” to a Japanese girl, they run away and consider it to be rape.
Look back to when I was saying that I met a girl named Noriko. She was a class A japanese girl, but the japs and other gaijin ruined it. Yes, I admit that it was my fault (for what I did once I got back to the USA), but what they have done is still foul.
Like I’ve said, I have no intention of committing any offensive act of violence so continue to make your dumb jokes, proving your stupidity. The sad fact is however, you will be praised by the majority (you are doing just what the non-Black foreigners and japanese that don’t want to see brothers enjoy j-women want you to do) while I am considered “insane” for simply telling the truth. It’s people like you, blackpassenger, that would also be the first to label me an “uncle tom” for not using ebonics, knowing advanced mathematics, and having White friends (outside of japan of course). Just remember, just because someone is unpopular, doesn’t mean that what they have to say has no truth to it. Take David Duke for example…

dude, youre on crack. where does uncle tom come into this equation. im a holder of 3 legal passports,im well traveled, well learned, educated at ucla, in the process of pursuing graduate studies, i have command of 3 languages and 1 dialect, im in the process of being a published author, so by your definition i too should be uncle tom and im not. and neither do i think you are.
if japanese women hated black men, i would not have had sex with over sixty, yes 6 0 japanese women since i came here in 2001. i was in osaka with one two nights ago. theres one in my bed now, shes leaving in a few hours and therell be another one tonight and tomorrow night. and they are ll beautiful. had i no concern about their privacy, i would send you pictures and videos. you are the problem, not them. YOU. it is you who have massive insecurities, it is you who are socially and sexually inept. its you who has SPS, small penis syndrome. get some fucking therapy and get some platform shoes like King Jong of north korea wears.
if japanese women hated black men, i would not have been able to write my novel. BLACK PASSENGER, YELLOW CABS is all about my hedonistic activities with japanese women. ITS YOU WHO ARE A LOSER.

……….. ^^^^^^^^^^^^ I am officially jumping to another topic ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^…………..
So instead of japanese women X black men let’s turn the tables to
Japanese men X black women.
This is something that works but in a rare way for most.
Since this is hell long saga of 16 paging forums…. this should be interesting.
(If anyone has experience points in this kind of relationship or has ever seen
this work please do comment……)

au man, thanks for changing the topic. Asian men, African women, japanese men negro women (i dont like to use black. theres no blackland.) is an extremely rare combination. in my near 7 years here, ive seen it only twice, and on both occassions they eventually seperated. one of my jamaican friends here was married to a japanese. they have a son. if japanese men are intimidated by caucasian women, then they are beyond intimidated by negro women.
ViolentAJ said,
January 5, 2008 @ 11:33
Height does not matter at all. Japanese girls love short White guys, short latinos, and everything else; it is a Black thing. I personally prefer to use the term Black to Negro (Negro just means Black in Spanish). To me, calling someone Black is not derogatory at all (unless one makes it).
So what, you had 60 apanese women in 7 years? Non-Blacks get 2-5 women a NIGHT. If they do it every night, they’ll surpass you by far. To tell you the truth, I had 4 girls (class C-B Japanese women) in bed during my 30 days of vacation there. I dated a class A japanese woman (Noriko) which is the topic of my next discussion. Stay tuned.
I am going to write a book and make a computer game about Noriko and Masuda. It’ll be a bestseller, along the lines of Duke Nukem.

I have some relatives from Trinidad, Greneda and Jamaica that come and visit me occassionally whenever they can,
and a few of my friends too. One of my friends Kimberly (female) wants to get a man from japan but she’s
worries too much about the racial barrier. (She’s afraid of coming to Japan and getting overlooked or turned down because she’s black, which I think makes no logical sense to me because she’s a hot number herself.)
She loves asian men, particularly the japanese kind because she loves everything about Japan.(Music, fashion, books, history, etc.)
I’ve had a few female friends who came to Japan to go to college and hooked up nicely, but Kimberly
has a bit of a phobia problem going on.
She’s coming to attend a university in Tokyo and she’s only been to japan twice (both vacations).
What possible advice can I give her to her?
Out of my own experience I can only say that I’ve seen the type of rare reltionship she’s hoping for, at least thirteen times in 14 years of living in Japan.
(because I tried everything to get her to break out of her racial barrier thinking and, yeah I’m looking for advice to give to a friend.)
as usual please comment if you want ppl. ^_^

id tell her to come to here, get on the language immediately and dont have any expectations. she also must be prepared to be the one to initiate relationships with japanese men, as most of them are too diffident to pursue her. it is possible, providing shes attractive enough. send me a pic of her on myspace.com/blackpassenger
im jamaican too. hit me on the space

hey blackpassenger, thanks for the positivity on the whole black men and asian women topic. Osaka is a great place, by the way. I’ve been to ibaraki-shi and Hirakatashi, two cities between kyoto, I believe. I actually wanted to ask you some questions. I don’t a PM system here so if you can e-mail me
TseloteAbebe@yahoo.com
thanks. AJ ha actually been around plenty of sites saying that stuff - a lot ppl think it’s an act. Good luck to all men of any race weather it’s about sex or just being treated well.

ibaraki and hirakata, i know those places quite well. i take free japanese classes at ibaraki elementary school. for anyone interested, its a class run by unesco, its free, 5 days a week, 2hrs a day, and the teachers rock. they are all retired teachers. usually free classes suck and are limited to once a week, but this is a five day a week class. i used to work in hirakata for 3 years. its on the keihan line, right? if youre on myspace, hit me with a message myspace.com/blackpassenger. if or, i will email you.
that dude aj is on crack, hes angry at the world. but that shit is misplaced aggression. if i were he, id be angry at my parents for transferring to me their messed up dna. in fact, if i were he, i would sue my parents.

AJ , you say your trying to inform black people about racism around the world.. As Black people we all are aware that we are the most judged race on the planet, we even judge ourselvs negatively as you discribed about the uncle tom thing.. Dude, we know..
The reason why people are have’n trouble swallowing your hate is because 1. we arent blind and 2. your base’n you whole thesis of the planet hateing black people on YOU not being able to get pu$$y in Japan.. wtf does that have to do with planetary raceism?? Not a damn thing. Everyone who reads your comments can see that your just pissed because you cant get jap-girls in bed, because in every comment that is your ONLY example,excuse or statement to back up what you believe…Grow up man.. Stop complain’n about what other races do, because you have absolutely no power to change that, no one does.. What u can change, is you.. I’m 95% sure that your looks and attitude are whats working againts you when you go to Japan..
Go to the gym, get some contacts, find out what women respond to and stop phuck’n bitch’n and complaining and i assure you, your luck will skyrocket… No one likes to be around negativeity, and currently ur a sesspool of just that. You cant change the world man, the world needs to change itself… As you need to do, or at least try to.. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0061540455/bookstorenow30-20 This book will help you greatly with your women problems its 15$ just read half of it and you’ll understand why you cant get as much Jap-ass as youd like to.. Its got nothing to do with your race, ist just you man..

Onyx, it is race. White guys are shorter than me , have no game, wear glasses, and are downright hideous and they score tons of japanese girls. It is race.
The wrld will never change. Racism against Blacks will always exist, and we will always be considered bottom of the barrel. If you are happy living like that, then good for you. I’m not happy, and I hope that most Blacks are not happy about that.
I know that people will never like me, so I guess I just won’t like them. I’m going to keep doing my thing.
