Japanese Mail Order Brides

Many men love the idea of finding a mail order bride from Japan. Although the world has changed and the mail order bride business doesn't really exist any more, the name persists.

Japan is an expensive country to visit, and being culturally and geographically isolated from the rest of the world, few people actually know what Japan is like. The main thing to realise is that Japan is a wealthy place. Despite the decades long recession, the average Japanese person is far more wealthy than a person from any other country apart from maybe the USA. A Japanese woman is much less likely to have to marry for economic reasons, so there's no way she would sign up to a mail order bride website.

Japan is a male dominated society, although things are changing and women are doing better as the Japanese economy moves from manufacturing to a more service based economy. It's not all bad for women though - Japanese women aren't expected to put in such long working hours as men. They also get to travel around the world a lot more - in fact you'll easily encounter Japanese women who have visited more countries than you have.

Japanese ladies tend to have two different personality types. The first type is intelligent, hard working and has a good job, even in such a male dominated society. These ladies make excellent wives. However, they are constantly busy, so it can be hard to get dates with them. Many of the ladies end up working overseas, so if you live near an international city like New York, Toronto or London then you might be able to find a Japanese woman who is living near to you. Sometimes these ladies can find it hard to find Japanese husbands as it's still fairly unusual for the woman to be the main breadwinner in the family.

The second type is maybe less intelligent, and maybe didn't study so hard in school. She could be more preoccupied with shopping and fashion. She maybe works in a clothes store or a fast food restaurant. These women will also make great wives. In fact men often choose them in preference to a career girl, as men can often be intimidated by successful women. The problem with these women is that they are far more likely to want to marry for economic reasons rather on than love alone. One thing to be wary of with these women is that because foreign men are so rare in Japan, they attract a novelty value. If you're dating one of these women, make sure they are serious about finding a Western husband.

There are a wide range of Asian dating sites. A lot of them contain women from all over Asia. Popular sites include Cherry Blossoms and Asian Dating. You might find a few Japanese ladies on these sites, but there won't be that many. A particular problem with general Asian dating sites is that they are full of other Asian women pretending to be Japanese women, so beware! Usually these women are from the Philippines. While in some cases a Filipina woman might actually be working in Japan (10% of Filipinos do work overseas), remember that she won't herself be Japanese.

Another thing to be aware of is that there are a large number of Korean women in Japan. Although they were probably born in Japan and to all intents and purposes are Japanese, they can be looked down on in Japanese society. These Korean women sometimes find it hard to find a Japanese husband, so they sometimes look for a Western husband. Korean women are very lovely, so don't overlook them!

If you want a Japanese wife then it is better to stick to the Japanese dating sites. The most popular is Japan Cupid. This site has thousands of members so you'll have no problems finding Japanese women to chat to. Just be aware that the Cupid Media run sites aren't exclusively for finding marriage partners - they're also good places to find penpals and language study partners. If you're serious about finding a Japanese wife then it's a good idea to find some Japanese friends first. They might also be able to do a bit of matchmaking for you - this is still the best way to find an Asian wife in China, Japan or any other Asian country.

There are also a few Japanese introduction agencies. These are a good option, particularly if you want to find a Japanese wife with a good career.

Finally all dating sites are a bit hazardous really. The best way to find a Japanese wife is to move to Japan. You'll have no problem finding a Japanese wife in Japan. Many foreigners find work in Japan as language teachers. This isn't an easy option, and it's much harder to find a language teaching job in Japan compared to China.

A better alternative to working in Japan is to either have your own internet based business, or to find an expat job. Many foreign companies have their Asian headquarters in Japanese cities such as Tokyo. If you work in finance or IT then see if you can get a job in Japan. You'll find that many jobs require at least a basic knowledge of the Japanese language, and that's not easy to learn!

Asia has seen an unprecedented economic boom, so women don't have to resort to the mail order bride business as a way out of poverty. A well educated Asian women now finds it much easier to find a good job, especially in the booming office based service industries. Some Japanese women like the idea of finding a foreign husband. They are for the most part from the professional classes, and would not like to think of themselves as mail order brides.

So although it's not really possible to find a Japanese mail order bride, it is possible to find a Japanese wife. Finding a Japanese wife won't be nearly so easy to find as a Chinese, Filipino or Thai mail order bride. However, you can be a lot more certain that a Japanese woman is marrying you for the right reasons.
