When Japanese women were asked what it is they found inexplicable about male romantic behaviour, the results deviated surprising little from what the female version of the survey found…

These are just complete bullshit, what kind of penis bearing buttmunchers do these women date. Or rather what´s wrong with these women to date them in the first place.
Penis bearing buttmunchers? Now that's a little…
i'm sorry but i cant stop laughing at ur post LMFAOS JAKSJDKALSJD KLASJHAHAHHA *cry*
I've always thought that no.10 was the other way around.
if this list is for men, that doesn't mean it isn't right. it just means most japanese men are pussies.
THIS.
THREAD OVER.
pfft... I totally called it for the last post. Humans are the same annoying breed ultimately, regardless of gender. We will annoy each other, confuse each other and so on as individuals against the other humans who share your space.
Like I said, get a pet and have some time out.
....
OH I GET IT!!!
Fail article is fail. The female one was believable, this one in the other hand...
They are made from the same choices. So....erm. IQ-test failed?
Obviously the women were projecting when they were voting on what the mysteries of the male heart were.
Maybe the title should be "Habits which PROVES that you are a human"
ok.. here's a WAAAY more believable list..ahem
1. He asks me to be quiet while watching the game ((any game))and gets annoyed if i dont.
2. when we're alone he's ((sometimes)) more affectionate than when we're in front of people.
3. he's always very direct and states it clearly ((cause he's a guy))
4. he always hangs out with the fellas after work.
5. he immediately wants any new cool electronic/tech gadget/game. ((iphone/psp/xbox360 etc.))
6. he falls asleep after sex immediately after we start dating.
7. your love for him is measured by how much you FEED & FUCK him.
8. he doesnt say "i love you".
9. he's annoyed if you DON'T go home AFTER sex.
10. his feelings are hurt IF YOU FAIL TO GIVE HIM SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now THIS is manly! :D
VEry good!! now THOSE are expected results for true men gee. the original list is so bullshit.
sounds more accurate to me.
They just copy-pasted ours so they could make us feel bad about being feminine.
Also, it's a good idea to relax during a date. Being tense does bad shit and makes you look like a nervous wreck.
They copypasta'd.
No wonder men and women don't understand each other!
So, what I learned from that list is that japanese men are gay.
The f*ck, isn't it the same at the male survey, the only thing that changed is "he" instead of "she"???
lol masculinity.
this list is obviously a sick prank..unless they meant metrosexual men..then it all makes sense..
but this list does not apply to REAL men
10. His feelings are hurt if you fail to notice a change in hairstyle
r u cereal?
List is obviously bullshit. When you ask women, they will just say what they think of themselves.
This is the 10 mysteries of the gay male's heart yes......right.......seriously it better be.
hey this survey comes from a bunch of trap men right?
What the fuck!
Replace "she" with "He" and you get pretty much the same Fucking answers. Of which tells me that somebodies dicking around with the polls or even yet, just made up the whole goddamn shitty thing in the first place!
wtf half this shit is the same as female is this real or fake? honestly u cnt believe everything u read...
Bullshit. I bet 90% of asked folks were traps.
Does it mean we are futas?
This only applies to the femalish jap dudes ;) but not the rest of us
The list seemed like just a copy and paste of the female version.
OMG LOL
Japanese men are doomed.
how about put number 1 to "He becomes angry when i ask him to cook some food".
...did you just take the female heart mystery article and change she for he?
2 is the only that is really real eveything else is all made up so that the females dont feel like idoits
What the hell? Who came up with this lost? I don't know any guy worries about his hair that isn't gay. This list is really fucking stupid.
i can't believe it doesn't mention porn
lol it s all the same crap as the last one i know i m not like that
this is almost the same as the one for the ladies, which begs the question: what kind of men are in japan? I would say that 1 and 6 is true with me. Maybe 5 when vidyas are involved.
What the fuck happened to this world!?
Those are no men... those are homosexuals! O_o
I only agree with the #8
I think the female participants of this survey have no real clue to the mysteries of the male heart (They don't care! They just care about what their girlfriends think it is!) and just leisurely picked the multiple choice answers. The problem with this survey is that it doesn't assess how confident the respondents are to their answers.
I'm kind of guilty of #2 and #3.
1. He asks you for advice but becomes angry when you give it.
- Not really. Most guys would like clear answer for a change.
2. When you are alone together his attitude differs completely from when you are with other people
- Yes.. they call that "reading the atmosphere"
3. He never expresses things directly with words but instead makes you read between the lines
- Most guys (including myself) are direct (often too much).
4. He uses “I’ll break up with you” as a bargaining chip
- Don't know any self-respecting guy who would do that.
5. He immediately wants any new product
- Hardly. (Unless I know my girls wants it I'll buy it for her...)
6. He relaxes after you’ve only just started dating
- No point in being uptight on a date now is there?
7. Your love for him is measured by the frequency of your calls and emails
- I can't stand women that need to be called 20 times a day and sms'ed 50 times a day...
8. He wants to make you say “I love you”
- I prefer it when they say it out of themselves because the mean it.
9. He’s angry with you if you actually go home after he asks you to
- Guys generally don't ask to go home and if they do they usually have a good reason and really want to go.
10. His feelings are hurt if you fail to notice a change in hairstyle
- Doubt it, because 1) women do notice. 2) it was probably her idea.
Everyone has a different attitude...
thats a load of bull, women are exaclly the same?!? especially the new products thing
2.Of course it's hard to show being close in public,it might draw unwanted attention upon you and in most cultures is inappropriate behaviour
3. That's rather women than men.I think women are just more adapted to read between the lines so that they might notice undertones easier and of course women tend to complain if the man sais that he's not interested in those things/it bothers him to follow you around like a dog or just ignores you because his mood is bad.Women should decide IF they want us to be honest or IF NOT rather than making us beat around the bush to not anger them >_>
6. Shouldn't be a mystery,if the woman makes him feel secure enough he can even relax while dating,it's a good sign that the two became close enough and aren't strangers anymore...
8. Isn't this normally 1 of the few moments of a day when you feel happy?What kind of crap is it that wanting an emotional uprise by the person you love is a mystery? Of course it makes you happy,too,if you just hear it but the anxiety of asking a question makes it just more enjoyable to hear what you already know,like asking if a dinner tastes good after you verified it through tasting beforehand!
Am I the only one who noticed both lists are practically the same ?
2. When you are alone together his attitude differs completely from when you are with other people
For me this is still one hell of a bitch to solve. Sometimes I don't get guys AT ALL.
This sound so much like my BF.
1. My BF does get angry when I help him with something that he can’t do himself.
2. He sometime act differently when we are with other people.
3. He sometime doesn’t tell me what’s wrong and expect me to understand.
4. He never said he want to break up with me so #4 is a no.
5. He always wants to buy new things. He is such a label whore (that is his own word).
6. Well that’s what he told me.
7. I don’t know about this since I see him a lot and I hate calling people for no reason.
8. He tried to make me say I love you in Mandarin in the beginning. Like I don’t know what that means.
9. Well he isn’t angry when I have to go home but sometime he doesn't want me to go home early.
10. I always notice his hairstyle. He is very stylish and handsome, so I don’t know.
Well 7/10.
the only true statement is the 8th(c'mon who doesn't?)
and i think the 6th is just a false
the rest are pretty much women's.
Ok I am no were neer macho. I'm kind of a pussy. Nut even I have to say if this list is accurate Japanese men are pussies.
Again I'm even on the sensitive side but any guy who shows even half of these traits has got to be in the closet or something.
Or are they all 14 YO emo boys?
Same list. you fail sankaku.
lmao! This list is a total FAIL. I'm perfectly fine begin alone. ;-)
WTH this is becausly the same as the last one>:|
Almost the same list as the female version, oh well.
"6. He relaxes after you’ve only just started dating"
What?
Man what the fuck is wrong with japanese people?
Dear Lord...I"m a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess......
WTF?
this is all nonsense
THIS IS BULLSHIT. All they did was take the same damn answers and put "he" instead of "she".
If Sankaku does'nt really have the top ten for guys, just tell us instead of fucking around!
I hate to say it, but this is very possibly true, judging by the how I had seen people behave. Having a hobby of staring out of the window when bored, or taking a ride in any land vehicle allows you to see alot of things. Interacting with people over two decades also gave one an idea on what people are like.
2 and 5 are the only ones true for me, and 2 for me is different because my personality changes with the people i'm around, regardless of who they are. And 5 is, well why not? The newest stuff has new gadgets for it, if they just upgraded the old ones with new stuff like the new version has i'd just get the upgrades but sadly it doesn't work that way.
#10 only applies to japanese. These days, its normal for a japanese guy to spend 30 minutes to an hour fixing his hair and a lot of them also get perms now. Hence the reason why #10 is even up there.
DAMMIT WOMEN!!!
You just don't want to play by our (fair) rules. We explain but you won't?
Just so you know, we can get just as bad as you do. Considering there are certain laws that can be repealed.
You women are walking on thin ice with us. Continue to play unfairly, we can always do a game-breaker and remove the laws you take for granted that you got ages ago, despite the dangers of it's inception we foresaw back in the day.
What the hell ever happened to balance, or a fair fight? You won't play fair, neither will we. Say goodnight to the 19th amendment.
If I am to die, let me die. But I stand on my word: you women have taken your rights to levels one cannot imagine, and it's sickening. It has even gotten to the point of mothers killing their own children before they're born, denying their existence just after conception. All for what? Just to continue sleeping around, and abusing more men? Not even lending a helping hand of any sort? Even out of pity?
To gain without sacrifice... is that really a worthy way to live? I see no honor in living in such a way. Especially if one has lived a life of Hell caused by the lucky, the greedy, and the spoiled. And those same people don't give a damn whatsoever.
...And you have the right to call yourselves women... What a damn shame. I suppose it is true then. Ladies are, in fact, a myth.
Ah heck, so we are all really women?
Now I must go see a therapist!
wow alot of anger at this thread. its ok artifact im still with you.
i love how people think that they just copy/pasted this list. For those that do, you guys need get off your ass and make some male friends because i know a lot of guys that can be associated with the items on 1-8.
#9 i'm not too sure. This probably applies to people that wanna get laid but they pretend to be the nice guy and say shit like "oh, its getting late. why don't i take you home" or some crap like that.
and i was going through the comments and most people seemed to have a WTF reaction to #5. Is it because they don't understand. I think is pretty easy to understand and something i believe applies to a lot of men. Basically saying a lot of guys try to put up the "i'm a perfect guy" type of act but once they've been on a few dates and/or are officially going out, they immediately start to relax and their "hidden flaws" start showing right away.
For #10, i'm guessing that will only apply to japanese men. People that are commenting here who "love japanese culture" need to stop watching their loli shit and actually watch some actual tv shows with real people in it. You'll immediately notice that pretty much all the guys have long hair and a lot of them tend to also perm their hair. If you watch any interviews of popular male celebrities, most of them will talk about how it takes like 30 minutes to an hour to fix their hair. Japanese men are practically women when it comes to their hair so this survey seems pretty accurate to me.
Difference for #5 is men want, women actually GET.
Before condemning those who like the japanese culture, play devil's advocate. Most of the world men are exactly the same, then all of a sudden...
BAM!
Japan men are becoming absolute failures if they act like this. I know a few japanese kids, currently have a japanese exchange student at my school, and I think they have changed dramatically since coming here. Still, NONE of them showed most of these qualities, especially #10
Not just Japanese men though. Some men, depending on how narcisstic they are, or their job, will spend just as much to fix their hair.
As for point number 5, well, look at my father. He buys all the latest hardware. Of course, he always come up with some excuse or another.
It was asked in Japan...There are alot of traps over there.
A rebuttal:
"1. He asks you for advice but becomes angry when you give it"
Honey, when I ask you for advice that's not an excuse to be a bitch. It also doesn't mean I'll be happy with you giving me a bullshit explanation that I can see is obviously untrue.
And make sure I've actually asked you for advice rather than say nagging me out of the blue.
"2. When you are alone together his attitude differs completely from when you are with other people"
Of course that can happen, were alone and I'm being romantic just for you.
"3. He never expresses things directly with words but instead makes you read between the lines"
No, we do, and if something is unclear you can simply ask what we mean. You keep looking between the lines or assuming things have been said that haven't been.
"4. He uses “I’ll break up with you” as a bargaining chip"
Being mad or annoyed with you if you do something doesn't for sure = breaking up. Some things you may want to do may annoy a guy, like hogging the car radio or TV.
"5. He immediately wants any new product"
No, stupid, I want new things that appeal to me. You don't "get it".
"6. He relaxes after you’ve only just started dating"
That shows I'm getting comfortable around you and letting you get to know the real me. Be yourself and be confident and all that. You don't know what you want silly women.
"7. Your love for him is measured by the frequency of your calls and emails"
Of course you'll make some effort to call me or email me if you care for me, it's not going to be all one sided or you clearly don't care enough.
"8. He wants to make you say “I love you” "
How on earth is it a mystery that someone who cares about you wants you to love them back and say so?
"9. He’s angry with you if you actually go home after he asks you to"
For the record, playing it cool and saying, "maybe we shouldn't" is not asking you to go home. It's offering you a way out or giving you a chance to say you don't care because you want it that bad.
"10. His feelings are hurt if you fail to notice a change in hairstyle"
More like you got pissy because we didn't compliment you on yours so we went out and changed something of ours and now were letting you have it because you're a hypocrite.
hmm...
1.Because we ask for advice, not condescending criticisms.
2.Girls do it too, so they shouldn't play coy.
3. If a guy really does say his girlfriend is fat outright, he'd be sleeping on the couch. Hence, the vague half compliments/hints we usually give.
4. Only needy assholes do that.
5. If it's new and shiny, it's better than the old and not so shiny one we have. Thus, the need to have the best and be the dominant male in society drives us to want it.
6. Better then than later and you realize he's a total slob 6 months into the engagement period.
7. Bull.
8. Well, no shit. We aren't going to say it unless we know they feel the same way.
9. We ask hoping you don't want to go home.
...for the gender that's good at mind games, they fail at reading between the lines.
10. ....sounds like something a woman would do, not a man.
I think they meant:
1. He doesn't asks you for advice but becomes angry when you give it.
2. When you are alone together his attitude doesn't differ completely from when you are with other people.
3. He expresses things directly with words and doesn't makes you read between the lines.
4. He never uses “I’ll break up with you” as a bargaining chip.
5. He immediately wants any new useful product.
6. He relaxes after he's only just finished.
7. Your love for him isn't measured by the frequency of your calls and emails.
8. He doesn't want to have to say “I love you”.
9. He’s angry with you if you actually go home after he asks you to stay the night.
10. His feelings aren't hurt if he fails to notice a change in your hairstyle.
You fell for the trap. This shit ain't real and you give excuses.
This looks shopped.
I see that the survey is done with 10 pre-phrased answers to chose from.
No wonder there are no complains concerning sex or adultery in the list.
Needs more pedo.
Isn't this more generalized for couples. I mean, some of those are even done by the opposite sex.
So I say... No shit, Sherlock.....
=)), what a joke =)) the same as the femail heart? =))

so true
I see that the survey is done with 10 pre-phrased answers to chose from.
Holy shit..... I just realized something:
THESE ARE THE EXACT SAME FUCKING LIST OF THINGS ON THE TOP 10 GUYS LIST OF THINGS ABOUT GIRLS THAT PISS THEM OFF! WTF?!
The only thing different is the way they're worded. Fuck me sideways! ><
Who did these surveys? They need to be taken out back, and ritually shot.... multiple times.
The difference is the order (and the list extends past 10). What is so hard to comprehend about that?
It still has the same exact things in them, Artefact. That's my big bone of contention. Seems like the survey just mirrors what the other one showed.
"Always trying to fuck me sideways" is #12, as it happens.
Also: 'ritually shot?' like with gun kata, or something?
Take yer pick, Tex. -_- It's late and that lousy excuse for a survey just drained the last ounce of idiot-fueled (by them)rage from me for today.
True, but the human body can only handle so much rage before it shuts down. It was never designed to use so much at one time.
Burnout.
I would think that if your rage was idiot fueled then these guys would have been a top up, not a drain.
I think most of these can be solved if you look at the list concerning the female heart first. Pretty much everything mentioned in this list is a direct result of what women want from their male partners.
In short, women are hypocrites and need a heavy dose of self-reflection.
Hmm, at first look this seems to be a spoof or a prank of some sort. Then again, the only japanese men with girlfriends are either rich alpha males and/or ikemen/playboys who trade mainly on their looks. So maybe alot of the latter are somewhat effeminate and into fashion and shit?
Japanese Metrosexuals? I can see that actually being true...
I like pangya
i like turtles
best comment!
1. Never hapened. Sometimes I laugh my ass off at her "advice" (just to realise she said it seriously - then I have to apologise)
2. True.
3. Seriously, women, just how many fucking times you want me to say "I love you" in a single day?
4. We do?
5. True, new car, new chainsaw, new gun. And I can assure you after buying it we will use it in next few years.
6. True, sorry about that.
7. NO, NO, NO. It's only your imagination. If you call once a day it's absolutely enough. If you call once per hour it's way too much. If you call few times per hour it's a perfect way to make us mad.
8. Orly? No, we prefer action over the word. Both in giving and recieving end.
9. Never happened. On the other hand, man should drive, or at least walk his girlfriend home.
10. WUT?
Funny, shouldn't the list be,
1 He is always picking his nose subconsciously at home in the front room and in the bed room.
2 He always throws boxes of food out that are still 1/4 full and good.
3 He never listens to a thing we have to say.
4 He loves his dog more than me.
5 He loves his car more than me.
6 He loves his computer more than his dog and his car.
7 He only sees me when he wants to 'use' me otherwise I could be a room mate only.
8 He never remembers my name even with others ask him to introduce me.
9 He is still picking his nose right now.
10 He scratches his butt in public.
i loled hard when i got to he is still picking his nose right now
someone's a little pissy, now i agree with number 2, and 7, but other than that, HA sucks to be u
and funny it is, i laughed a little
