On the popularity of Japanese women in Jamaica
Sachiyo, a Japanese woman who blogs in English about her life in Jamaica, has written a very interesting post about how some people think Japanese women are popular in that country. Here’s a short excerpt in which she mentions men who approach her on the street:
A man who comes up and says “You come here for big anaconda,eh?” Do you find him appealing? He is just mocking you. So whenever someone says this to me, I stare at his crotch, put my hand on my hip and say “Im dead or wha? Mi no see notten between yu leg! Though mi see dem big one inna Japan” and walk away. This anaconda talk is not a come on. It’s funny though.
Those who call you “manko” (Japanese word meaning “c-nt”) or those who say “Mi can give you a good loving” on a street. It is so obvious what they want. They just want a different dish. Tell them “you can’t manage me” with a smile and walk away.
But sadly (or happily?), there seem to be some Japanese women who take these insults as come on. And this myth was born. I think you don’t have to go out with rude men whom Jamaican women ignore. Decent people have decent manners. And any relationship is built step by step, as is done in anywhere in the world.
