what "parental supervision" in Japan? There is none. This country needs some serious re-education about disciplining and supervising children. I can't tell you how many times I want to grab a mother and shake some sense into her. Children are terrible here and mothers just spoil them because they are afraid their kid will end up hating them. Give them to me for supervision, I don't care if they hate me--I hate them to begin with anyway. If there is one thing I go on endlessly about it's children and mothers in this country.

You know this topic is starting to piss me off. I wish people would stop freaking out about population decline and low birth rate. As far as I can see, Japan needs to seriously shrink its population and come up with ways to prevent the population from migrating to Tokyo or Osaka.
Also, based on all the pregnant women waddling around and their spoiled little brats running amok everywhere, the birthrate doesn't seem to be a serious problem. 少子化大歓迎！

GW, I agree there are a lot of men out there who I would not consider marrying but not just in Japan but also in my home country & countries other than Japan. While there are unfit spouses/partners worldwide, I also believe that you can probably find someone for you pretty much wherever you go. I know that sounds strange but I honestly believe that. Well, this topic has been beat to death. I don't know what else can be said that hasn't already been posted here.

Indeed, this topic has really gone off in all directions. I think gaijin women get the worst end of the deal here. Not only do they have to put up with unflattering stereotypes (fat, loud, too 'strong', possessive, domineering, unfashionable, unable to cook/clean, don't make good wives etc) but J-men are intimidated by them and gaijin men don't want anything to do with them because they didn't come here to meet fellow gaijin women.
It seems the only people who have any interst in gaijin women are J-mothers who want to become "friends" with them so that they can get a free English tutor for their little brats---or your local kindergarten & elementary school who want a female English tape-recorder.
p.s. in response to romulus3, I have definitely sensed a double standard with gaijin men here. It is OKAY for them to marry Japanese women but somehow NOT OKAY for me to be married to my Japanese husband. Very strange. I almost feel like I should be ashamed my husband is Japanese. (believe I am not ashamed)

ok, well riddle me this---why do gaijin men act surprised and even slightly offended when they find out my husband is Japanese. Like how could I betray my race!?!

I am going to make this quick and short b/c these comments are, for the most part, convoluted and full of the same pat stereotypes about J-women & Gaijin women.
I'm married to a Japanese man and I am perfectly happy---not because he is Japanese but because he is a wonderful human being.
Second of all, I would like to know why most gaijin men out there (in Japan) seem to have a cleft a$$hole when gaijin women walk into the room-bar-resturant-cafe etc. Are you afraid we are going to see through you or something?
