Japanese guys are very different from Russian guys, because the difference in mentality is very obvious. But, despite this, the girls still like the men of the Land of the Rising Sun, although international couples rarely form with them. And most often it is the differences in values and concepts of how to behave that are to blame.

Influence of society

Historically, Japan has a more patriarchal social order, so foreign women often feel uncomfortable here. The interests of men are always an order of magnitude higher: in any institution, their opinion and needs will be a priority.

Japanese guys are mostly not prone to beautiful courtship. Don't expect huge bouquets or fancy dates. In the Land of the Rising Sun, it is not even customary to open doors for a woman, not to mention helping with carrying weights or other things familiar to Russia.

Attitude towards women

Now among the men of the Land of the Rising Sun everythingthere are more of those who adapt to European ways in order to find a life partner, but there are also those who support an established model of behavior. At the same time, in fact, Japanese guys consider foreign girls to be very beautiful, but they rarely talk about it, because this is not accepted in the society of which they are a part.

In the Land of the Rising Sun, a man is the breadwinner and support for the family, he is always valuable, while an aged woman loses her "presentation". Because of this, the goal of most ordinary Japanese women is to get married as soon as possible, so couples have been formed here since school. This way of life persists in the country to this day, despite the development of technology and the growing need for personal improvement.

For this reason, even the most outwardly cute Japanese guys are unlikely to seem attractive to European girls who are used to completely different standards of behavior. With the same load at work and at home, a man will always assume that he gets tired more, and his activities are many times more important than what his spouse does. However, it all depends on the purpose of the acquaintance, because many foreign women are interested in the Japanese only for the purpose of moving to another country.

The positive aspects of Japanese men

As in any other country, people, of course, are different, so what is written here also does not apply to everyone. Girls who have had experience with both friendly and romantic communication with the Japanese say that they have a lot of positive qualities.

For example, they are very hardworking andgrateful, never throw words to the wind and do not say anything superfluous. Japanese guys express their affection through actions, not forgetting memorable dates and fulfilling promises they have ever made.

If a girl is in a very warm relationship with a guy or he likes him very much, it will be easy to retrain him and set him up in the right way. However, you should be careful here, because the zeal of the Japanese knows no bounds, and some small surprises or gifts that are customary to give in Europe from time to time can fall like a cornucopia, and often out of place.

But in any case, if a guy and a foreign girl are quite young, he will be interested in communicating with her, learning new things about foreign culture and traditions, and there will be no superfluous reason to brag to friends.

Difficulty understanding

The other side of the coin, however, was not without: Japanese secrecy sometimes interferes with the normal development of relations. From any person, his discontent can sometimes escape, but the man of the Land of the Rising Sun holds on to the last. Therefore, he splashes out emotions only at the climax of his disappointment, which is why the problem that has arisen can hardly be solved, and quarrels often result in serious assault.

This serves as a reason to, when communicating with a Japanese, try to liberate him as much as possible and accustom him to the idea that discussing discontent is normal and even useful.

About appearance

Handsome Japanese guys always somehow find theirroad in life. Most often they are served in the fashion industry, combining shooting with other creative speci alties. Most of them are known only within their own country, especially since only those whose appearance to some extent meets European standards can achieve world success.

Japanese male models most often achieve significant results in this field only if they make this profession as their main one. Daisuke Ueda, Theta Wada and Hiroshi Tamaki are among them. The last young man is especially loved by the townsfolk, because he lacks pathos, and the poses he demonstrates are often rather relaxed and casual.

There are also "half-breeds" in the fashion industry, but their appearance bears little resemblance to Japanese origin.

Japanese boy names

Lovers of the Land of the Rising Sun can often be caught on excessive interest in the names and surnames common among residents. It is worth saying that due to the population density, there are much more of them than even in Russian latitudes. It is rare even in different anime series to meet characters with the same name - so great is their diversity.

Often they consist of only two hieroglyphs, in this case one of them personifies the masculine principle and helps in the correct reading: "tree" - ki, "husband" - oh, "helper" - suke, etc. For example, Hiroto or Yamato. Unlike women's names, Japanese guys' names carry the meanings of certain character traits,symbolize the order or date of birth.

The most common ones today are Riku, Shota, Sora and Haruto (both spellings). There are also diminutive forms formed in different ways: by shortening to one syllable, adding a suffix to the full name, or partial addition to the surname (for example, Kimura Takuya - Kimutaku), but this technique is most often used for foreigners. Sometimes the abbreviated name may sound different than the full name, depending on how the first character is read individually. At the same time, the suffix - "chan" is mistakenly considered feminine, while it is also used when a girl addresses a guy if he is a very close friend.

About last names

Many Japanese surnames for boys and girls have a rather interesting history. Those who are familiar with the customs of the ancient Land of the Rising Sun will understand what it is about - before the onset of the Meiji era, ordinary peasants, of whom there were an overwhelming majority, did not have such luxury.

At that time, the population of Japan was just the property of the divine incarnation on earth - the Emperor. Therefore, the surname had to be earned by exploits, friendship with the nobility or a high position at court. And only the arrival of Meiji forced the authorities to turn to commoners to invent surnames for themselves. This explains their diversity and quantity.
