I'm not saying there is anything wrong with having a attraction to Japanese women but I feel too many overseas people view of a Japanese women is someone that looks like those Instagram cosplayer, models and adult movie models.

I'm writing this because a friend of mine long distance boyfriend broke up with her because she didn't look like how he imagined. Since it was shortly after they shown each other selfies. She said his friend told her that he was talking behind her back about how ugly she was and her teeth along with other crude jokes. She was heartbroken and I spent my evening with her. She started talking about how if she was pretty like those models or a cosplayer and good at wearing make up like me he might have accepted her.

But it just made me think overseas men and even women view of japanese women must be really bad to assume we all must look like those very attractive women on social media.

This might be a bold assumption and that man might've of just been a asshole but I've had many men assume I look like such models before even actually knowing what I look like because they're just really nice to me and try to bait me into sending them pictures and they're usually very creepy by saying how much they love Japanese women and anime. when I see people like this I just assume their only exposure to japanese women is adult videos and cosplay models.

I admit...I became a cosplayer myself because I had low self esteem and admittedly a lot of men and women from overseas made me feel good about myself when they kept saying how cute and sexy I was on Instagram. But regardless of that..I feel people should visit Japan themselves and see how normal japanese women appear because not everybody looks like a model and not everybody is going to be extremely attractive. I know that sounds obvious but it really does seem like many overseas think every japanese women is extremely attractive...
