Or you can wait a bit and pick a hybrid if that's your cup of tea.

I live in Tokyo, and I'm only at about $1300usd/month, including all living expenses. It's actually significantly cheaper than San Francisco and Silicon Valley, where I used to live. In the US my transportation (car) and health insurance + medical was ridiculously expensive.

Obviously I'm getting less for my money in Tokyo (smaller apartment, no car, etc), but I'm living for less.

I wonder if those guys get together to chat about their 'white fever'?

As for expenses, I've seen some of those detailed tables the actuary types put together to figure out cost of living adjustments for expats. (probably available on line.)Tokyo is considered quite a bit more expensive than NYC. They're based on maintaining a similar lifestyle though. It's a bit of a game really - some expats adjust to a more Japanese lifestyle and bank the extra money.

Wait, Chamois, so you started from the left? How is that girl on the left a yes!? It's all about the girl to the immediate right of the guy for me. The one to the right of her is also nice, that I guess you want twice. However I also don't understand why the far right girl is one you'd have to be drunk for. She looks fine?

I want to wear a mask now. Sad

The reason to avoid them? I don't want to turn this into GaijinPot but biological clocks are a big deal past ~29. Unless pressure for immediate marriage and children is your bag...

Granted, the woman on the far left is probably closer to 45 and already has kids in university/working, so maybe that's not an issue.

I am also at a loss as to why the girl on the right requires beer goggles. I'd rank her right after "twice"

I'm hesitant to rank any of them, but then again, I'm still in shock now that the masks have come off and I finally know what all the clerks at the Lawson I go to actually look like. Those things are surprisingly good at obscuring facial features.

The vast majority of white women I have met in Japan have been beyond sexually frustrated. And not just the ones I have slept with Rolleyes
There is a girl where I work from London who would be considered extremely hot back in America, but she was almost in tears the other day because she said no men pay her any attention. She said she couldn't wait until her contract was over so she could go back home and get laid. Most of her coworkers are Western men, but we are all gaga over Japanese women as well.

That's very far from my experience, of course I'm much younger though. If I went to a club with Swedish girls my age, they became a HIVE of japanese guys IMMEDIATELY, they literally swarmed into rings around them. None of the Swedish girls I've known in Japan (who actually looked good) has gone without boyfriends for more than like.. a month.

It's a known fact that most Japanese guys consider sleeping with a white girl to be of pretty high priority. Getting married though? That's probably a completely different story.

I am shocked by how there are people who can rate girls without ever actually having seen their faces

Actually I rated them by their faces..

You can see their eyes, hair, shape, etc

-edit-

I just noticed that Sadako is following the guy.


Re: white women in Japan

The majority I meet (college age) are weird otaku or seem permanently angry. Neither one is very attractive to me (or most other men I'm guessing).

Braces are pretty common nowdays..

I'm not particularly obsessed with teeth looking like a row of chicklets anyways, as long as they aren't rotten or look like a shark.

You did move to Colorado for the girls though, right? right? p.l.e.a.s.e.? ;-)
Girls in Colorado are nothing compared to Canadians of course though Tongue

If you don't find these girls at least a little attractive you are not ok.
Two of them have long hair and none of them are fat: Both are very strong health indicators.
They dress nicely, so they are probably also socially healthy.
If you talk with them you'll probably also find something that you like.

What is sick is to be obsessed with an unachievable perfect 10 beauty.

yea i agree, the prefect 10 isn't really something to even look for. B/c it's not possible to exist, there isn't such a thing as a "prefect" person. Everyone has flaws, we are all humans. Even when it comes to looks, 10 isn't possible. 9 is though

Weird enough, I find the Asians that model mostly unattractive. I do like actresses such as 井上真央, though. Also whenever I walk around the Japanese market near my house I prefer the stay-at-home moms doing their shopping. That's probably a weird thing for someone who is just about to be 21. Lol. Big Grin Anyway what I'm trying to get at is I like almost all those girls, but the reason I hate the girl on the left is her hair. Straight hair is the bomb.
