japanese girls, part i

type 1: traditional. conservative. that is all i can say about them. basically, these are the majority of the girls in japan. these are the ones who talk with their eyes looking down; they are the ones who don't talk to guys (because they think that any kind of contact with the opposite gender = showing interest and attraction); they are the ones who blush every time a guy talks to them.


so the thing in japan is, that guys and girls are totally heterogenous, or, not mixed. in short, the guys are with the guys, the girls are with the girls. why? i swear this is the culture in which "going to the bathroom together" formed. they stick together as a team and talk about the guys, but never really talk to the guys. now, this would seem kind of ridiculous in the states, because, well... if you like them, you gotta show them that you exist. you gotta make some kind of initiation. nope. not in japan. you shy away and hope that the guy somehow spots you. think what you will, but that is how japanese girls do things. and 98% of the time, it's the guy asking the girl. and even when the girl does do the initiating, i've yet to hear really great success stories about the girl-ask-guy thing. so what does that tell ya?




type 2: over-the-top fashion + sex = bad. these girls lose their virginity when they are 12 or 13. it is ridiculous. and unfortunately true. i mean, you think japan, oh, it's so educated they should know better. not really. these girls will run away from their home and try to make a living by promoting pornography and prostitution. sometimes, that's the only way they can survive. sometimes, that's the last resort she had to go to. and other times, these girls are just dumb. thick make-up, "what-the-hell?!" outfits, and "you must be joking" lingo. this group of people have is capable of creating as many words as shakespeare. they've already started ages ago, and their colloquialism is almost not japanese. what can you say? you got the other extreme of the quiet, traditional japanese girl, gotta have the other extreme to balance the beam out.




... and in case you were wondering, i belong to type 1.
