Question:
I know a Japanese woman who is 37 years old and very aggressively pursues younger (20s) foreign/white/gaijin men in Tokyo. I doubt she is truthful about her age but the wear is starting to show since she's been in the party/hostess scene since her teens. What are her chances of getting married? Is she into foreigners because it is believed they are more liberal and accepting than Japanese men? Also she is already divorced, having married a foreigner who was 10 years younger than her when she was 28 for a visa. YES he was 18!
Answer:
A difficult question but some interesting answers. so, for what it's worth, here is my answer.
Her chances of marrying are pretty slim I would think, although I'm sure some young men out there would jump at the opportunity to do so, but alas, all for the wrong reasons.
I have travelled extensively and I can tell you that the lady in question is not alone. Some women of the same age, same circumstances and of various nationalities are attracted to foreigners because they see no future in the lifestyle they have chosen and see foreigners as an easy way out as opposed to marrying their own nationality who would no doubt be aware of their background.
Some young gullible western men on holiday ( vacation ) or studying for awhile are an easy target as they still have to learn a lot about the ups and downs of life. No wonder then that many such marriages end in divorce.
I am talking specifically about the 37 year old woman in your question and doe's not in any way apply to Japanese women in general.
