I think #2 would be especially great if she came by your job to drop it off for you.
come by your work? She follows you everywhere, she is already nearby .^_^.
Looks like the ones who answered the questions believe in Freudian Psychology.
Moe.
I find it funny that some of the top 10 mysteries of the female heart are pretty closely related to what we find cute.
Hold on, guys don't like it when girls supposedly make them say "I love you" but they like to be asked "do you love me?" (5) what the fuck guys make up your mind already!
And what's with number 3, 2 and 8?? you want her to take care of you like your mother but you get annoyed if she nags like her! Fuck, guys are full of shit just the same as women.
That is quite true. Are you a young female anon just coming to this realization?
Not young but damn I was hopeful, just a little bit hopeful, that things wouldn't be so fucked up and people such a piece of shit in this world. I think I've been too optimistic and I am paying for such naivety.
Cross out #10 and she's perfect.
Im not a guy but I wouldn't want my girlfriend this clingy, bento and cleaning is nice but I would want her as girlfriend not maidfriend ^_^;
#8 Fuck no!
a list made by men without a gf
Okay, at least half of those points are retarded!
Worst is probably 9, followed up by 4, 6, 7 and 10...the rest isn't much better, typical depiction of a submissive female being something like a slave to the male. I wouldn't want a gf like that.
Don't believe these POS surveys. If you look at the site, there are only 10 items total and there's a poll at the bottom of the page proving over 50% of the people think it's bull.
Just accept this as the fail article that it is and move on.
share a scarf is cute too
yeah...some of those are actually turn offs for me.
I think I'm too Japanese for not being one... I can identify myself with all of those
0 - She had sex with me .
This list is a complete FAIL.
Totally fake and UNREAL !
Well congratulations, you misanthropic asshats. Thanks to your inspiring comments, I've finalized my decision to join the seminary, so I'll never have to encounter the possibility of arguing with a real girlfriend.
Seriously, though, what the fuck, SC? You guys keep going on about how these traits are "stalkerish" and "clingy" and don't leave you with enough "personal space." I didn't realize you were all such a bunch of spineless, snivveling bedwetters.
Ever read the classics? This list should be titled "Top 10 Cutest *Hemingway* Girlfriend Traits". A real man knows that his woman needs to be tamed -- a task made much more easy if she's already docile.
Well... What about the bento? I've always thought that kind of thing only existed in animes.
Maybe not a complete bento, only a snack? It's not common, but not that rare either.
For Americans, replace #6 with:
"Did you have fun with your football buddies?"
3,5,6,7,9 and 10 can be leveled up to yandere, creepy...
I have a girlfriend and I wish she did all these stuffs, especially #8
Pick a new waifu, it's never late
My top five for cute.
1. You grab her ass in public or talk about explicit stuff, she goes red.
2. When she walks into a room looking for you and you're standing in an obvious area where she doesn't see you.
3. You scare her and she makes a funny sound.
4. When she makes a funny sound period.
5. Certain flaws.
The corresponding male list may also make interesting reading in a subsequent article.
inb4 duplicate list with the items shuffled around a bit.
The guys who took this survey don't know any real girls...the sad fact is that I agree with this list except for #6.
i'd seriously wouldn't want her to be jealous of my last girlfriend...but everything else is good for me.
and a girlfriend giving so much time and effort into "raising" her boyfriend seriously will think twice before dumping him....XD
.....well,said like it sure sound creepy (,_,)
8. She cleans your room for you
WTF? id freak out if she did that! O.o
6. She asks “What were you doing?” if you don’t see her for a day
Kinda common small talk for friends right? I don't know.
8. She cleans your room for you
I'd just feel a bit bad about her doing stuff like that for me.
3. She does her best to help out in your daily life
7. She wants to accompany you everywhere
9. She does her best to match her hobbies to yours
Hell yes.
#1
#9
the rest is not needed
Loveplus:
1. Can't link arm with DS. maybe someone will invent such, though every morning we got to link arm with them.
2. Manaka made me one before. I don't know about the other girls though.
3. They can wake you up in the morning. (Alarm helps your life.)
4. God, try going into LovePlus mode for 2 hours. ><
5. If I didn't call for a date, she will.
6. Never left the DS for more than 2 days..
7. Of course I carry my DS everywhere. if the DS is used by my sister, I'll take the microSD in my wallet.
8. Now, this is impossible.
9. This too
10. But I never had a girlfriend! D=
Japanese like super maids as gf? >.>
Who doesn't? Besides that in japan guys prefer innocent and cute acting woman.
Ahh the good side of 3D girls...
- 1. She links arms with you
That's cute, yeah.
- 2. She makes you bento
Not necessarily cute, but I like the fact that she thinks of me and cooks for me. It's good as long as it ISN'T every day.
- 3. She does her best to help out in your daily life
That's... sort of good... I think. But what about her own life?
- 4. She asks “Do you love me?”
That's annoying.
- 5. She always spends the weekend with you
That's normal, as long as it's not ALL the weekend EVERY weekend.
- 6. She asks “What were you doing?” if you don’t see her for a day
That's annoying. Bitching and stalking isn't into my likings list.
- 7. She wants to accompany you everywhere
That's scary. Very scary.
- 8. She cleans your room for you
That's scary and annoying. Why would she want to barge into my room and clean it? I know it's dirty, but it's MY place. What's in her head?
- 9. She does her best to match her hobbies to yours
That's... odd. If we were to have the exact same hobbies, although fun at first, it would soon become boring. Also, does she want to be an exact copy of me? Thanks, but NO.
- 10. She’s jealous of your last girlfriend
That's fucking crazy
Artefact:
"... results which probably resonate with men the world over..."
I disagree...
Good to see they followed up that other survey.
But some of these traits seem creepy. But then again, I'm a girl, what do I know about men~
Look at all the other comments about men disagreeing with some of these.
Like a slave(can be Male),I'm I right?
Most of these would worry the hell out of me. 1 and 9, mayyybe, but the rest seem awfully clingy and shallow, not to more annoying than cute.
cleans your room for you
dood
no man no.
In short.
A low-maintenance satellite.
Someone who doesn't need a lot of attention, puts your needs first, and doesn't. She "revolves around you."
Too bad girls described on the list above don't actually exist. They only live in my imagination..
And anime ^_^
1-5 I mostly agree, except for 4, which is not ok when she's pushing for it, but it's ok if I have come to word my feelings as such before and she simply wants to hear them again.
"6. She asks “What were you doing?” if you don’t see her for a day"
I find it endearing as long as it's not borne out of dominating jealousy, but rather an interest about how my day was.
"7. She wants to accompany you everywhere"
'Everywhere' might be annoying, but 'everywhere she thinks I want her company' would be ok.
"8. She cleans your room for you"
She's my girlfriend, not my wife. I dislike not finding things where I left them.
"9. She does her best to match her hobbies to yours"
That's a bit extreme, 'she shows interest in your hobbies' would be more endearing.
"10. She's jealous of your last girlfriend"
By all means no, just like she'd dislike me being jealous of her past boyfriend.
...
Basement Dwellers were interviewed with great risk.
i find 5 of those 10 traits annoying
Yea, sounds like Top 10 Maid Traits. Cleaning their room??! Room cleaning is not a cute trait. It's just something boyfriends would like their girlfriends to do for them.
Yandere + traits mentioned in the list FTW!
1, 3, 5, 7, 9,10 are all agreeable to me. 2 - I like cooking on my own or for her 4 - I find that annoying, but still gives her the answer even if its the 9000th time 6 - I don't find this cute, but I can understand if shes curious. 8 - never!
#6 only works for Tsundere and Yandere.
anyone else and it's just annoying.
As a girl this list makes a lot of sense and I'd probably try my best to do them.
If you don't want your chick to do these, just get a personal hooker or Dutch wife. No warmth or personality at all.
1. She links arms with you
Why wouldn't this be cute?
2. She makes you bento
Doesn't have to be a bento box. I'd enjoy cooking for my boyfriend. Hell I enjoy cooking for my normal friends.
3. She does her best to help out in your daily life
I think anyone would be grateful for any help with problems or errands.
4. She asks “Do you love me?”
Only one that I think would be pushy. Maybe it sounds cuter in Japanese.
5. She always spends the weekend with you
If you're working during the week, going around with your girlfriend sounds like a good break.
6. She asks “What were you doing?” if you don’t see her for a day
If you take it more like, "How was your day yesterday?" it means she's interested in your life instead of wanting to know every motion you take.
7. She wants to accompany you everywhere
Again, she's interested in you and wants to spend time with you.
8. She cleans your room for you
I actually did this once with an exboyfriend in high school. His parents hid his car keys until his room was clean, so I went over and cleaned it with him.
9. She does her best to match her hobbies to yours
She's trying to find another way to have a good time with you. Usually this isn't a task for me since I end up gaming with him or going to cons and cosplaying to start off.
10. She’s jealous of your last girlfriend
I do this all the time. I feel like all the other girls were prettier/nicer than me (well before they broke up).
"4. She asks “Do you love me?”
Only one that I think would be pushy. Maybe it sounds cuter in Japanese."
My girlfriend usually does this one while playing with my hands, rofl.
Actually she does pretty much all of the stuff on this list, aside from #8 but she does clean, it's just that she's a fussy dope though moreso than wanting to clean my room for me or something.
Asian thinking.. like mine..good
Well if you told me this a few years ago when i was a stupid kid, id find it all annoying, but now i find it annoying leaving that girl. Time to wave a magic wand and get her back! :D
1. She links arms with you
3. She does her best to help out in your daily life
4. She asks “Do you love me?”
5. She always spends the weekend with you
6. She asks “What were you doing?” if you don’t see her for a day
7. She wants to accompany you everywhere
9. She does her best to match her hobbies to yours
10. She’s jealous of your last girlfriend
Did all these with my last boyfriend. Didn't seem to work.
Or maybe I've forgot to clean his room and made him food?
why is this so difficult to come by?
In other words, men prefer Yandere girls...
I'm a bi female.
and I think that list is rather BS :/
man.. i bored that kind of girl.. she'll be the "all of my life.." not "the part of my life.." :(
in some cases #4 means that she just did something really unforgivable...
Hahahaha love it,
4,7,9 and 10 are all Scary Girlfriend traits too... I guess anything in moderation is fine.
So, they only surveyed hetero men. I wonder what Japanese gays find cute about other men...
1. I do this. He seems to prefer it over holding hands.
2. I can't cook much, but he's a NEET, so I don't need to make him lunch to take with him.. if he went to work or school, I would definitely learn to make him things he likes to eat to take with him. Right now he does most of the cooking..
3. Always. I consider his issues a top priority.
4. Only if I feel neglected.
5. I usually see him one day of the weekend for dinner or a date. Sometimes I'll stay overnight.
6. Only because I'm interested in his activities when we're not together. I like knowing that he's had fun even if I wasn't there.
7. That's just clingy. I'll only go if he wants me to, it's rude to ask without invitation.
8. He keeps it clean by himself. He's a pretty tidy person.
9. Mutual interests are great, but it's not necessary to have all the same hobbies. How boring!!
10. No way. I'm his first love, his exes can't compare to me.
Sometimes I worry I've become a "Yamato Nadeshiko" type...
she ask "wat are you doing" every once an hour or half an hour...thats what really irritating when you are trying to even eat your meal
I find all those cute
Note how not once sex is mentioned? Whoever created this list, only suitable for underlings, could also have been thinking about an entire entourage rolled up into one poor person, the only person who would do all that would be a lovesick GF . . .
d'awwww those traits are universally cute~
i just do hope that some of them won't get tired lol
Last time I did these things, I got dumped. *sad face*
of course, i wasn't his g/f. i was just being a clingy friend. XD
Maybe he wants you as his g/f, not as a clingy friend? >.>
i dont know, THE LOVE SUCKS!!!
The last one is definitely a sign to break up with her. What kind of idiot would date a girl who is jealous of your Ex? That's a precise formula for weapons grade hysteria.
mine is, she doesn't know how to eat cakes/bread so she ends up having crumbs around her mouth, while not knowing..
miss my ex :(
isnt 10 like....bad?
The people who think this probably never had a girlfriend...
And, is there anything more humiliating than making your girlfriend clean your own room? I pity a girl who would date a guy who can't even keep his own belonging in order.
I think those people actually want a mother, not a girlfriend.
...these are common traits in 2D girls. You guys always say that you prefer 2D to 3D, but at the same you hate everything in this list.
Yeah I call bull shit on this whole list. Ahem.
1.Bitch get your hand off my arm I'm playing a game!
2.Thank you that was very nice of you. *tosses it in the garbage can*
3. Baby your going out of your way a wee bit to much.
4 ............when have been going out for a day....
5. Wait so where fucking?
6. Wtf do you think I was doing on a saturday....masturbation :3.
7. Bitch this is the male bathroom......unless you wanna get it on the sink......just throwing it out there.
8. Wtf I had my room the fuckin way I want it BITCH GTFO!!!
9. o.o are you stalking me?
10. Key word X......and your just making me wanna go back to her.......
#10? Well, at least it means she loves you, but in an extreme it can make her a psycho bitch. Same with #6 and #7.
Fuck #4, #6, and #7.
Those who think the list is bollocks, utopian, only applicable in 2D, yadda yadda, think again. The fact that (most) guys find these traits kawaii (cute) desu is an indication that girls dig guys with kakkoii (cool) traits (IMO, "cool" is the masculine version of "cute"). If a guy genuinely loves a girl, he would do something similar albeit most girls find it cool instead. For example (from a guys perspective),
#1 He offers an arm to hold on to. - "Oh, onii-chan is SO cool~! (Clings on to his arm obligely)"
#4 He asks "Do you love me?" - Her face flushes and nods shyly . (OH DAMN! THIS IS SO TURNING ME ON ALREADY!!!)
Though I must say, I haven't seen the corresponding list for guys (if one exists) which might not be similar as for girls.
Guys. If all of you believe such cute girls exist, I believe girls believe cool guys exist too! YES, WE CAN!!!
Also, if one genuinely loves the other, one loves wholly irregardless of flaws that might be in the way. BTW, yes, I believe in true, unconditional and pure love.
P.S.: With respect to the significant homo- & bisexual SanCom populace, simply change the pronouns accordingly.
Japanese is very similar to Hokkien everywhere else, try looking it up, you'd believe they were the same people.
"Kakkoii" when translated as Hokkien (Chinese dialect) in the same phrase with same pronounciation means "Open Legs". I leave the reader to judge from here . . .
;_;
I want
i hate number 4. i thought of a great way to fuck with em on that question. if you said it before tell her you did, and if the situation changes you'll let her know. basically except number 1 and 2 all would be a turn off for me.
1, 4, 7, 8, 10 Rules ^_^
11. She is 2D.
This isnt cute at all! this is insecure and clingy! omg I could stand a gf always asking me what im doing, and always has to be by my side I NEED SPACE
... results which probably resonate with men the world over... Try, absolutely doesn't resonate with men anywhere outside of Japan. Come on, seriously: Makes you bento? Cleans your room for you?
9 of the 10 selections here compile to form my ultimate nightmare girlfriend. The only ideal trait on here is that she tries to match up hobbies with me, and even that had better be in moderation or its unattractive. I don't want a fake poser girlfriend, just and open minded one.
"She cleans the room for you"
Those who put those are pretty worthless men.
Those lists are shit because they are preset choices, hence the same answers between men and women, only the order changes.
!. She's making sure you can't get away...
2. I would see this as cute.... but it can also go horribly wrong if she has a grudge or is just a terrible cook.
3. She wants to keep track of where you are in addition to helping.
4. It's not a trick question. Or is it? o_0
5. It can be cute.... but also really clingy.
6. This makes it look like she doesn't trust you. Careful with this one.
7. Even into the Men's Room?! That's.... nice.... of you... *Backs away slowly*
8. She's also searching out for your stash of porn. You better hope she fails her Spot Check!
9. Now this is cute. Maybe it's a Japanese thing? I have no first-hand experience with this (none of my girlfriends ever tried doing this) so I can't tell.
10. ........ Why would she be jealous of my last girlfriend for?? o_0 Unless, y'know, I was still seeing my Ex on a regular basis, this would be strange in my book. Creepy too.
Now... why is it that most of these traits scream 'Clingy Jealous Girl'?? I'm sure this isn't something particular to a specific nation or nationality or genotype. But still.... how do japanese guys find this stuff 'cute'?
*Miroku74 scratches his head*
Now, why would you back away at #7?...Unless O_O
quote: "2. I would see this as cute.... but it can also go horribly wrong if she has a grudge or is just a terrible cook."
Oh god.... Higurashi... -_-
lol'd at number 8
DUDE,your failing to understand that Japanese guyz are failing to get girlfriends .... so they want the attention alot... get it ..its japan not the whole world -_-"
Anon wisdom.
Dude Yamato Nadeshiko is totally different from Barbie! YN is the calm beauty of the east who is sweet and loyal, while Barbie is a whore!
If I read this survey right, YN should stand for Yandere Nadeshiko.
You're right about Barbie though; she is a whore. I have two younger sisters, and they'd talk all about her and her 'indiscretions'. Stepping out on Ken with his friend Devon, and that one summer with her cousins.... I won't go into anymore details.
most of these would be very annoying and relation-ending to me and most people i know.
The whole weekend thing is plain scary.
But i love the clean room and lunch part.
Don't you think it's odd that 1 of the most annoying female attribute is trying to make you say you love her, and yet when she asks you it's a endearing trait?
so what is up there.
pfft, i see a maid from the list, not a woman. Men just want a slave working for them, that's it.
This list is specifically about what is "cute," saying nothing about whether that is a desirable basis for a relationship.
