Miles apart...yet so close...

Many people have been asking me lately what makes a Japanese man different from other men. I think this is the wrong way to ask this question. I would ask what makes a man a real man? And the answer comes naturally – it is sure not his nationality. Building a relationship is a difficult process no matter where you are from. Matters of the heart are complicated as it is to add the nationality issue into the equation. Obviously there are some cultural differences, but none of them prevent people from having a happy, fulfilling relationship. After all it is all about the feeling you get from a person. If this connection exists, then even the obstacle of not knowing one’s language cannot stop people from being together. The fact remains that Japanese people impose themselves as very respectful and polite. I think this is a quality most women in Moldova would want to find in their beloved. I do not want to say that Moldovan men are not polite, but the reality is that most of them have long forgotten how to court a woman in the proper way. From this point of view, a Japanese man has the aura of a prince on a white horseJ)). They are the type who sweep you off your feet but at the same time give you a feeling of comfort and security. Basically you could compare this state to the image of a balloon who is held securely by the string so that the wind does not take it away. Trust me, to your first date he will come with flowers, very well groomed and will try to make you as comfortable as possible, opposed to our Moldovan way when men take women to THEIR favorite place, usually accompanied by THEIR friends and so on. So what makes a man a man? Huh? Do any of you have an answer?
