well i just feel like ill find a girl i would really like in japan. im planning on going to a student exchange program to japan. I've already given up my birthday and chrismas presents and im also trying to find a job so i can go ^_^'. My parents doesnt support my decision so im saving up myself *sigh*. the type of girl i like is someone like Toujo Aya from Ichigo 100%, someome cute and nice and not too girly like and also one who has a dream something simila to mine if im lucky which is to become a mangaka :). Im just tired of the type of girls in my school who are sooooo focused on popularity and the latest trends :sweat: and also easily swayed by popular guys even if they're real jerks ~_~. oh well i would just like to noe if you would find it abit too much to actually go this far, and also if you noe the types of girls there in japan pleae please let me know if theres a chance of finding someone like the girl im looking for in japan. i wanna go now cuz i dont think ill have a very good chance after school to find someone like the one im looking for -_-. oh well im looking froward to your responses :).

Not a very good reason, I'm afraid.

Firstly, it is wrong to hope to find anyone with anime looks (because they do not exist in real life). Second, you are assuming that every girl around you is as you said and that every girl in Japan won't likely follow the same trend? Perhaps you are not looking hard (or trying to learn more) about those around you. If I were you and thinking of travelling to Japan, I would be wanting to learn more about their cultures and places to visit. Going there just because of some hope of hooking up with a local is just absurd and dreamy in my opinion.

Regards.

Ahh get them to come to you instead like I did ^_^.. But yeah you need to have more reasons than just liking Japanese for anything to work...unless you want to just have something short term..Me and my g/f living for 7 months now.Shes from Japan... but yeah don't think they all like Japan.... SHE HATES IT ALOT and hates if I have any idol pics etc on my comp and more.. ahah Its not as easy as you think , but if you put in hard work and have good reasons then its great.., But like Enchaner said , don't think its like anime shows :D

don't set a high expectation on the girl you are looking for,usually an anime character is just too perfect...not to say its not impossible,but its just so rare.Just like Enchanter said...don't assume that girls in Japan will not be the same as the one you know around you.Perhaps,you are still not the time to met one that suit you yet..when the right time come,you will meet one for sure.

Just don't go find a girl that you think will be perfect to you,but find a girl that is really true to you..as regardless of countries.

That depends... usually for some unknown reason... when white men go to Japan... a girl will like in love with him for no reason... I don't know why... and I can't say I support that... but you sound like you're Caucasian (sorry if you're not) so you just might have a chance. Cept... she just not might be what you expect, so try not to have high expectations.

But... you still have a chance to look for girls wherever you're living... it can't be THAT bad...

EDIT: Wait a minute you're only 15... of course all the girls are going to be into popularity. That's how teenagers work. You'll have much better luck when you're in your senior year or in college. (Besides trust me, you don't want a GF right now... things are gonna be rough for ya I'll tell ya that.)

Athrun,i think i know the reason.It was a personal experience that when i was finding for Japanese penpal and emailed them,i tend to get reject when they heard i am from Asian country.And most of the profiles wrote that they are looking for westerners only.

You're a dork, there's a ton of what you're looking for all over the place... maybe you should change how you look as well.

You should try to change your views. I don't think you should base stuff on anime.

Beware!
If you based your real life on anime then
the burrito man will come for you!

Because it's normally a military guy. If the girl falls in love with them, or acts like she's in love, the guy will most likely take her out of the country.

Like everyone else has said, don't expect the girls in REAL LIFE to be like the ones in an ANIME. There's a reason that anime is animated--they're like cartoons for adults--and, as we learn when we're kids, cartoons are for entertainment only and aren't true in many cases. And why would you want someone with the same career goal? Differences make relationships fun. Plus, if you have different dreams then supporting each other is easier in a way because you're not just focused on what you're doing.

I'm guessing you're still in high school...Most girls (I said MOST not ALL) are only interested in being popular and looking good; most of them are insecure and want to be the center of attention--they're teenagers. Teenagers, to some extent, are only concerned with themselves and what other people think of them..It's the time that you're trying to figure out and define who you are. And if those self-centered girls are the only girls you're seeing...Well, then, you're looking at the wrong girls cause I can promise that not all high school girls are like that. (You're reading from one that went out of her way to not be one of those girls.) How many times have you talked to a girl that wasn't so popular? Cheer up, you're young and still have time to find the right girl. Look at it this way, most people grow up after high school.

I'm guessing you're either pretty young or pretty sheltered lol.

Looking for an anime girl.. I guess you probably could find someone in japan like that... but in the end i think you'll find those aren't really the things you're looking for. But there are girls the way you described every where.

Most high school girls are interested in popularity etc. Especially if you're looking for a cute girl like one from ichigo i'd probably bet she really is into the latest trends etc. Any way good luck I hope you find what you're looking for.

In my opinion I think you should just look for someone you get along with well, who you think is beautiful in their own way and someone who likes you a lot and would do a lot for you.

Hey, welcome to real life bud. We all have our little dreams and goals - however petty or majestic they may be - and pursuing those is really good, but no matter how hard you try, this is still going to be REALITY. Life is not Megatokyo, or any anime/manga. Girls in .jp are just girls like in any other country (ok, they're asian, but you probably got that figured). Yu see IRL japan is not actually the japan you see in any anime/manga. Wanting to go there so that you can find GF that is "like a girl in xy series" is just plain nuts. I mean you might as well start looking for one like that in your country, because the chances are pretty much the same as far as I can see.
But hey, it's not my life so if you still want to do this then go for it. But please consider what the people in this thread have told you.
best of luck n all that.

There is no such thing as true love!

QFT.

Even if it was so, it is generally rare (I'm talking in long terms here).

heheh its hot in here with all those flames.... Anyway Yeah dont have this dream anime fantasy or you will be burned :D .. But you are young so live life to the fullest while you are still young and worry about relationships and stuff later ..Things happen when you are prepared and patient.

well ive got a msn-friend which i could get along very well,but instead of overseas it's 150 kilometers...
it may not sound far but it's a pain to try traveling there with the train....
i really would like to meet her....
