Why do some women stay in bad relationships?

I watched my Mom while growing up always unhappy and subservient to my Dad. Worked in a Domestic Violence Shelter for a few years and saw hundreds of women who had been treated badly. Now my daughter is in a controlling marriage. Who is happy being with the same person for years and years? It doesn't appeal to me at all! I prefer to stay single and have many male and female friends and love my family and give to the community. This is just the way I feel; are there other people out there who feel the same way?

they claim a woman will go back into a bad relationship many times before she decides its over. people stay because they fear the future, fear being alone and without financially. if they have been controlled for years or abused they may feel that its a normal thing if they have had their self worth stripped away. some people feel safe in a controlled marriage believe it or not.

Dating and Romance in Japan, how is it different from other countries?

I know somewhat about Japanese culture and their social stigmas.

Anyway – How do men / women approach each other in Japan? How does one behave on a date? I know in American culture, women go for loud, somewhat offensive but witty and funny guys like moths to a flame. But I know that being rude is not smiled upon in Japan.
(or any culture for that matter, but U.S has exceptions)

What is considered a "Normal date"? What would be out of the ordinary?
Sex on the first date – is that a taboo?
Is there a "dating ritual" different from other cultures? (Quirky things etc)

Any answer would be great, add anything else if you have something to share – and no I'm not looking to get a date. I feel how people with different culture's dating rituals reflect on their inner selves, and reveals more about their culture than anything.

I'm not 100% sure but I think theres a lot more people who date friends of friends, coworkers, and other people they would otherwise know somehow. There are still those that meet at clubs but its the same kind of people that do that in America. Sex on the first date is probably less taboo than it is in the west but most people still probably won't want to do it and those who do it are the same kind of people who do it in the west (usually sleazy). If they are opposed to it, it isn't because of their religion so they are much less likely to cave in to temptation I think.

Anyone who thinks Japanese women are all 'innocent' is easily fooled by outward actions and lies. Men like it and that is what women are going for but that doesn't mean thats what they actually are.

There are alot of relationships that are more old-fashioned but like many other places, there are recently many more relationships based on at least partial equality.

Foreign guys often think they have a magical effect over Japanese women but this is usually due to their inability to tell attractive from not attractive outside of their own race (ex:fetish). There are however some girls who have an equally bad taste and strong interest for foreigners.

I hear a lot of foreign residents who are women in Japan who complain about not being able to find a guy. It's usually because they come on too strong and also due to many Japanese guys lacking of confidence (and sometimes lack of interest in what they aren't used to). Some come on too strong; most Japanese guys like that whole innocent little girl image, its whats popular on TV.

Oh and I'm not sure how much you can generalize this but it seems to me that its less normal to introduce your significant other to friends and family. Maybe a best friend is normal and obviously parents when it comes to marraige and stuff but don't expect to meet aquantinces or distant relatives unless your dating someone friendly for a long time.

Karaoke is very common for a date. Also fancy cafes and bars and clubs. I'm sure people do movies although I don't go to the movies so I wouldn't know.

And lots of Japanese probably have the same dating problems that people in the west have. People forget that Japan has more in common with the west than most of Asia does.

I am done with dating, romance what ever the hell you call it?

I am tired of having my heart ripped out and always thinking the next girl will be diffrent because it they never are they are always the same. I have nothing left to give so I quite f**k it whats the point. So my question is this any other women out there want to make me feel like shit a little bit more before the new year? You might as well jump in the mix and fun at my expense too.

"It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all"

What would you have rather done with your time? Didn't you enjoy it while it lasted? Have no regrets….move forward and don't dwell on the past…

What would you want in a dating magazine?

I am making a dating magazine for both men and women.
What sorts of things would you find interesting to read?
Funny stories?
Fashion tips?
Chat up lines?
Things to do on a date?
Sex tips?
Etc?

I think it is really interesting to learn what the opposite sex thinks about a number of topics, which you find out by asking those you already know.

I also like it when these answers are numbered because they are easy to read through quickly as most people want the information but do not have time to read long, complicated answers. Some examples might be:

1. "9 Ways That Tell Her You Love Her." (Ask women, "What tells you a guy loves you?")
2. "7 Turn Offs Every Man Hates." (Ask guys, "What is a sure turn off for you?")
3. "3 Best Picks for First Dates." (Ask both sexes, "Where was the most memorable first date you ever had.)

Get yourself a whole list of questions like this and ask each person the all the same questions. Organize all their responses and you're off to a fantastic start. The questions you have in you post here, are all list worthy, as well.

You could fill a magazine with the responses you gather. Oh wait a minute, you ARE writing a magazine! Perfect!

Hope this helps.

How long after you start dating someone should sex occour?

For many younger people, like high schooler, sex is as common as using the toilet-nothing special, so they have sex on the first date…

For older adults, they wait a bit till they get to know the person…

Waiting until marriage runs the risk of marrying a person who is sexually incompatible, so you shoud know you are compatable before making a lifetime commitment…

For most adults these days- How long does it usually take until sex occours? After a few days of dating? A few weeks? A month?

My experience has been about 3 weeks..

3 dates! That is the unwritten rule.
