What Makes Javanese Women Special?

What about Javanese women? Javanese women are women from Yogyakarta, Central Java, and East Java of Java Island.

Especially Yogyakarta and Surakarta (part of Central Java) are considered some of the most popular tourist destinations in Indonesia.

Their “Keraton” (Yogyakarta and Surakarta’s kingdom) customs and culture are still dominant in daily life.

“Keraton” is a palace of the Javanese kingdom. In Yogyakarta, this palace is open for tourists at certain times.

Tourists can look around the palace, and there are culture exhibitions, gamelan (traditional music) and traditional dance.  As a tourist, you are more than welcome to join in the festivities.

For most Western men, these kind of “Keraton” customs and culture are fascinating. Their cultures usually attract Western men and a lot of Western men want to find love with Javanese women.

Due to their upbringing and traditional culture, most Javanese women are very polite, friendly, gentle and very respectful toward men.

Their mannerisms and attitude are heavily influenced by the culture of “Keraton”. These women are very unique and noble.

You can join some cultural and art exhibitions, learn, and you will have a most wonderful experience.

Other than Balinese women, Javanese women, there are still many tribes in Indonesia.

This is part of the Indonesian culture.

For most Indonesian women, being loyal to their partner isn’t a temporary matter, but a form of commitment in carrying out the relationship to the next level.

As a wife, Indonesian women will uphold the values that exist in marriage, they won’t ruin it with infidelity.

Wherever their husband is, they will remain faithful, waiting for him to return to her. This loyal nature is desired by every man when looking for a companion or partner, and you can find it in spades with Indonesian women.

In addition to being loyal and faithful, and perhaps a bit out of the ordinary nowadays, Indonesian women are willing to sacrifice for the sake of her loved ones – whatever needs to be done, she will do it happily for the betterment of her family.

It’s kind of outdated in many modern societies, but Indonesian women still believe their role as a woman is to support their partner.

She might have a high education, good career, and an amazing life, but if you wish her to stay and give you her full support she will bend over backwards for you without question.

Even though they are willing to cook Western foods for you, both of you might still have different preferences in foods.

You don’t have to like the same foods. She can prefer Indonesian food and you can prefer Western foods.

The thing is, those differences make your relationship more fun and colorful. Sometimes, you can even try to have combination of Western foods and Indonesian foods. We call it fusion, and it can be a lot of fun.  

Don’t worry about foods, though. Most of foreigners, especially Western men, end up loving Indonesian foods, and I’m certain you will too.

You will be Respected and Loved Unconditionally

Most of Indonesian women want someone to protect them and keep them safe. Indonesian women view Western men as strong, open minded, romantic, and a man who treats women with kindness and respect.
