That's an interesting thought. I, personally, never even considered the whole anime thing. I'm not really a fan of it. Plus, aren't a lot of the female characters in Japanese anime pretty "westernised" anyway (as in big breasts, often blonde/redhead/blue/green haired etc)? I think that Japanese and other asian girls like white men because they're a bit different to the norm. This is one of the reasons I like asian girls, they're different to what I'm used to. I gre up in a town that was 99% white. There was one mixed-race lad in our school, that was it. The rest of us were white.Yotsuya-san said:I wonder if Hiro Nakamura has made Asian males more sexy. NOT! He's just reinforced the negative otaku stereoypes while turning him into a wish-fullfillment fantasy character for real-life otaku who followed Heroes religously. As far as a lot of White males dating Asian females, that's definitely due to the high percentage of Wapanese who believe that Asian (particularly Japanese) girls will be like the girls in anime. Case in point, a popular sub-genre of anime is the "harem" genre where a shy, nerdy geek has three or four cute girls fighting over him (Tenchi Muyo is the prime example). A lot of young loser white guys think that Japanese girls prefer timid nerdy types just like in anime.
The girl I was with told me that Japanese men are generally pretty reserved, predictable, and not particularly romantic. Maybe her social circle is just a bit ****? :crazy:
