they have strong character too. they are very composed and therefore: very respectable !

beauty is in the eye of the beholder........
don't be fooled by make-up and cosmetics.......remember , beauty is only skin deep , you have to get to know the person before you can consider them beautiful , find out what their personality is like.
Beauty , for me , comes from somewhere deeper than the the eye can see , don't get sucked in just by a pretty face.

In general, I would have to agree with you. But in reading some of the other answers, I would have to agree with them as well. I have been living in Japan for over 15 years and I was never "struck" with the sence that "ALL" Japanese women are beautiful. Of course, when I first came, I saw several DROP DEAD georgeous girls, but the ratio to the other end of the spectrum is not high enough to make that generalization. Maybe I am too picky with it comes to the female form, but I am turned off by the crooked teeth, and the large calfs that seems to abound in the majority of Japanese women. But on TV, where a large percentage has had some kind of minor work done (including braces) they are beautiful.
Personality wise, yes, they are mostly beautiful. However I may be a little tainted in my opinion because I works at a girls university and I see the worst in Japanese women (and the best, since my wife is Japanese). But my students are not stereotypical Japanese. They would break the stereotype for sure.

yay, I have to rate your question. I agree you as well! They are beautiful and cute. Some of them even look so stylish. I like Japan so much. I just return back from Japan and I really hope to go there again.

Japanese women are not strong women, most are domestic, like in house, and the men keep them there. Even though a lot has changed and many are in the job market, the men here stilll control many aspects, including the women. Strong? Are you crazy?

What are you talking about?
I LIVE in Japan, and I see MANY Japanese women every DAY! They are NOT all beautiful! They are HUMAN beings! They are all individuals! They vary considerably from one woman to the next!!!
Some are beautiful - some are plain - some are like the back end of a bus! Some are composed, some are hysterical - although obviously this would all depend on the circumstances....!! Maybe the women you met were working in the 'hostess' industry? Women like that learn to APPEAR composed and beautiful, even if it doesn't come naturally! Respectable? Some! Not all of course - I'm sure some of YOUR country-women are respectable ... but not ALL of them! What about the prostitutes? From your country AND Japan? Are THEY respectable?
Strong character??? SOME Japanese women have only enough character to wear Hello Kitty / Mickey / Pooh clothes and 'diet' on MacDonald's Mega burgers!! They live to find enough boyfriends to keep them with a fresh supply of 'designer' bags! But luckily not ALL Japanese women are like that - just enough to give the rest a bad name...!
; )
Oh, and incidentally, in addition to the fact that they're not all beautiful, composed, respectable, OR of strong character - some of them are pretty OLD too! Do you find THEM beautiful?
BTW, I miss the thumbs down option for the question! Some questions are TOO stupid for words - although I'm not actually talking about THIS one, this is just stereotypical - but not completely brain-dead like SOME!

I don't know where you get this idea from, but one thing for sure - The statement is certainly NOT true.
It may be true for the japanese ladies you know and there are japanese ladies who are as described. However if you have been to the different parts of japan, you will find that many of the ladies there are not.

Just because their body style is good ( I saw some girls are over 180 cm in the city, Sinjuku ) and Japanese women are white like Western not Asian,
I don't think there are beautiful women in China , Taiwan , Thailand etc...Asian country beside Japan.
That's why japanese women have date with somebody alot even if she has another boyfriend,

I lived there for a good 6yrs and could never
have reached that conclusion.
alot of 'em show their "good side" to westerners
but can't hold it for long.
beauty------is in the eyes of the beholder.
Just like their neighboring Koreans, having plastic surgery in order to look halfway decent s a part of their culture now.
they call it "puchi seikei" to make their eyes appear bigger.
(care to guess how common that procedure is? )
in my book, it ain't beauty that's for sure.

I find japanese girls to be either incredibly pretty or incredibly ugly.
There's no happy medium.

We get it, you have a thing for Japanese women. I'm pretty sure your mom is not Japanese. So what is your question?
