Foreigner Bars in Japan: a haven for the homely

As my Grandmother once said, "There is a place for all God's creatures on earth." Well, Grandma, you were right again. Even the homely have a place in Japan: the foreigner bar.

In todays vain world of exclusive night clubs, high-society hangouts, and underground for-hot-people-only-sex-clubs, where are the homely to go? Well, perpetually ostracized westerners of the world, fret no more. There is now reason to rejoice. All you need do is come to Japan. There's an entire industry waiting for you. The foreigner bar.

When entering the foreigner bar for the first time, all seems typical. But, upon closer review, one thing stands out -- everybody is really homely. What at first seemed like a room full of out-of-your-league Japanese ladies, is actually a group of mediocre, highly-desperate-looking-for-foreigner-love-J-girls. And the men, well, anyone can obviously tell from the beginning they are extremely homely. That's why they're there.

Foreigner bars are a god-send for the attractively challenged in Japan, often serving as the impetus for the homeliest of foreign men to remain in the country. So next time you are stuck in your own western homeland, eating a TV dinner alone on another Friday night, get off that couch and start packing them bags. There's even a place for you on this earth: the Japanese foreigner bar. See you there.
