Yeah, the cute schoolgirl routine only irritates me. I mean, I want to fall for a woman, a curvy Helen of Troy, not a little girl with the body of a twelve-year old boy.  I understand what's attractive about having a paedomorphic face, but not a paedomorphic body. |

apparantly japanese girls play up to the whole schoolgirl thing as a result of WWII, as in , big, hairy caucasian soldiers came and 'saved' their country (humiliating japanese men), therefore they saw american men as their heros - the same thing went across asia, also not having a common language meant that they concentrated on the fact that they were so much smaller than' big 'american men and played on that to the extremes you see today.

I don't know, but I think the Japanese went crazy after World War II. Their strict, authoritarian culture was no more and so they weirded out on us with their flashy, futuristic cities and bizarre anime. |

You have never really fully experienced the "cute japanese girl stereotype" unless you have heard one of those awful japanese rock bands with female lead singers who sound like they are 4 years old.

I'm attracted to Japanese women. However, I don't like it when some of them act like little girls. It's as creepy as Yoko Ono singing love songs. Anyway, their obsession with youth might reflect a subconscious fear of aging and dying.

yeah - seeing as when youre not 'young' in japan you have so many pressures to live up to........ I read an article about that. Japanese women apparently are getting married and leaving home at older ages than they were in the past. Some of them don't leave the nest until they're in their thirties. They're continuing to have babies at older ages too. |
