Japanese men asked what profession they would most like to date give a rather depressing but not altogether unexpected list of costume fetishes and sexual fantasies, in stark contrast to the female list of glamourous top earners…
The ranking:
1. Model

2. Nurse

3. Stewardess

4. Entertainer

5. Childcare worker

6. Beautician

7. Seiyuu

8. Fashion related

9. Doctor

10. Hostess

Fortunately, “schoolgirl” appears not to have been a choice. The least sought after were politicians, IT workers and consultants, along with any other positions of power, wealth or authority.
Just as women were most interested in the top earners, it seems men have an even more focused interest in the professions they perceive as more attractive, which is precisely the cleft in preferences predicted in most sociological research…
At first I thought "Why models?" then I saw that picture of Ami and understood immediately.
I would probably go with a Philosopher, Rocket scientist or massage therapist or some kind of combination of all of them, Yep nothing more attractive on a woman than a big brain. Big Pair of Brains
Just wondering, what is the difference between a model and beautician?
A beautician applies make-up to a model.
It says 'date' not marry lol so I wouldn't read too much into it
not surprising although 7.Seiyuu was a bit strange since only otaku would even remotely say something like that. too bad they didn't have schoolgirl or variations of it, that would take like the top 3 spots at least.
Otaku's must be speaking in one voice.
Why are there no maid in the list?
because, in real life japan, most maid are from 3rd world country ie little brown girls.
A beautician does things like style hair, apply makeup, and pluck eyebrows. A model displays clothes and fashion.
A model displays clothing and fashion, as well as do photo-shoots. A beautician may style hair, apply makeup, and pluck eyebrows etc.
They do realize that nurses nowadays wear scrubs right?
not my top 10!
No housewife as some predicted.
As for me I couldn't care less what my wife's profession is as long as shes not a whore/porn star/anything else related.
This is my list:
1) Porn actress
2) Stripper
3) Whore
4) Any work, as long as she's perverted(except for SadoMaso, because that's retarded)
Yup! It's about sex...
;)
(Can't say I blame them. I'm a man too.)
Hmmmm.....yes sir... I think I'll just have everything on the menu..
Give yourself 3 points if you get the Futurama referance
7. Seiyuu
Where can I find more art like this? Or rather, which artist drew this picture? Thanks :)
Child-care worker was pretty random IMO.
Japanese men have weird tastes.
American and/or Western men would have a different list (and I'm sure "porn star" would be 1st place).
OMFG. These are about the BOTTOM 10 professions I'd want my girl to work in! And I'd actually love to date an IT professional, a politician or a consultant. Fucking patriarchs. You can all go fuck yourselves.
Seiyuu is No. 1 for me and i like how these are accompanied with pictures.
Based on the picture at the top of this article, I was expecting the list to include miku, policewoman, and Chinese assassin. It also lead me to believe that schoolgirl was such a popular choice that it was accidentally included twice.
Wait, schoolgirl isn't a profession!
i don't really care. I just want the atires
I agree for #s 10, 5, 4 and 1
can anybody tell me where the Entertainer pic came from? I love that look lol.
She looks like Lunamaria from Gundam Seed though
Seems like nurse and doctor on this list would go hand-in-hand. But, looking @ list, nurse has more sex appeal than a doctor, unless we're talkin' school nurse.
Nobody wants a sandwich maker?
I'd be okay with just about any profession as long as it doesn't take up too much of their time, but obviously high income and handy skills are a plus.
I would probably never want to be with a politician or celebrity though.
After reading some of the male posters on here, becoming a crazy cat lady looks more and more attractive every day.
No School Girl? Japan you LIAR!!!
Seems like nurse and doctor on this list would go hand-in-hand. But, looking at the list, nurse has more appeal than a doctor, unless we're talkin' school nurse (see pic). I'd go after either one.
The childcare worker works for the maternal instincts (does well with children) makes this one appealing. +1 for me.
LULZ on the entertainer pic. (^o^)
I guess the reason why schoolgirl is not on the list because 'schoolgirl' is not a profession lol
They seem to be influenced too much by anime/games xD
There are no signs of houseworker/teacher/cook and other "normal" jobs for women,most of them are related to acting/modelling which should be desired least because the women have too many males contacts/friends and no freetime for actual daily life that a married couple should have (not enough contact is not good and leads to divorces >_> especially doctors/nurses/models/stewardesses have many overtime hours/night shifts/trips so they are less likely to become a good wife... except if they give up their job when they marry)
Is housewife not a profession? Too bad ladies....
Housewife is not a profession because women normally aren't already married when they leave school and move out, so they have to find a job somewhere.I think you might mean a similar job like maid/housekeeper or maybe you want to hint at divorced/widowed housewives. Fact is, however, that Japanese women, still at a high rate, give up their jobs when they mary,bear children and raise them until they're old enough to work/study and then start to work again, so there might be no housewives since all these professions will be exchanged for the new profession : housewife sooner or later :)
Hostess and Seiyu FTW :)
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Model an Entertainer? I don't think these guys thought this through. Well, at least for me, dating a Model or Seiyuu would be very stressing: always being mindful of where you let yourself be seen with her, how you look next to her, learning to ignore other males that lust after her or badmouth her. [If I were dating Hirano Aya I would probably hate SC lol]
Same with the Entertainer and Hostess, I know I would have to put a lot of effort into getting used to the fact that my girlfriend takes off her clothes in front of other men or otherwise plays with their lust as her job.
Knowing a handful of childcare workers myself, I know they can be very sweet and patient, but I can't help wonder if these men aren't mistaking roles here? I know sweetness and innocence score a lot of points with japanese men, bit if I were dating a childcare worker I wouldn't expect her to treat me as sweetly as she treats the children under her care, they're still adults, and rarely are adults all smiles and hugs.
So...Where is profesional killer?
JAPAN I AM DISSAPOINT.
No. 4: ZAFT Red Coat MS Pilot
Im giving credit for the Flight Attendant, they are so pretty and helpful :D
I go with musicians...
Here is my list
1)Tsundere
2)Ojosama type
3)Silent
4)Yandere or Energetic (tie)
5)Normal
I could care less about their profession because I don't believe profession = personality (most of the time anyway)
Shrine Maiden.
I want to date an idol.
Well, as they say, if you ask a bunch of conventional people a conventional question, then expect to get a conventional answer.
You've always got to ask where the source is coming from. If you're reading Seventeen magazine, expect to hear exactly what stereotypical white female teens think (or at least what the people who market to them THINK that they think).
Honestly, what guy is going to sit there and be all, "dude, I want to be the lower earner and under my wife's thumb"?
If you're the average person and someone stops you on the street to ask you a question, the first thing that will come to your head is an idealized fantasy. This does not prove that every man is somehow a vapid genital-thinking caveman.
It does seem interesting how the more primal fantasy-driven part of the brain seems to be more caught up in a knee-jerk response, but it isn't surprising. Not only are we as human beings interested in things because they turn us on, but we also want to impress and fit in with the other human beings around us. If a man is asked about something personal in a group, he is far more likely to identify with the other male's fantasies to fit in. Add Japan's crazy conformist culture, and voila! The results you see above.
Or maybe men really ARE crotch-thinking cavemen.
You decide.
Pretty Shallow
While I don't think a woman's job is that important I tend to seek girls into the same jobs over and over...
My list:
Visual artists (like a magnet)
Writers (like a magnet too)
IT workers
Taylors (of the kind that work in theaters)
Actresses (the more neurotic the better but it never lasts)
Singers (just like above)
Surprisingly, writers and photographers were near the bottom of the list. I would've thought that the artistic types would be more popular.
I dont care what a girl works on, as long as shes nice, sweet and sort of slutty
and giving horny teenagers sponge bath's when they break their bones cause teenagers are fucking useless and should die.
id only date a doctor if i had a better job than her
Don't worry. Almost no woman would date a men with lesser social stature than her.
This pic here sums everything up:

Ugh, 2d nurses maybe, but 3d? D'you know what nurses usually do, being less qualified medical workers? It usually involves a certain degree of shite and piss. No, thank you.
Men are just as shallow as women.
There's no way around it, one has to do with looks and the other with money.
A guy wouldn't marry a fat girl just like a girl wouldn't marry a poor guy. (The ones that answered the list, anyway.)
Both are fucking terrible and shallow.
Thank you! Finally someone who makes sense. Now bout dem fat bitches...I hate me dem fat bitches. I's shuu doo.
women think money, men think sex, it make senses.
Money for sex...this makes sense. This is why we have prostitutes!
it's a world of whores and pimps
yay more stupid top 10 lists...again
I think more then fetishes females in these careers would be desirable for other traits, an entertainer would always be good company , a nurse or doctor would be intelligent and a child care worker would be good at raising a family. at least that's the perception
I really wish articles like this would stop, surveys like this, with given set choices never are always full of problems and never really show any meaningful data because of the way it is put together.
All surveys are full of problems - you can either be entertained by them or critically dissect them. Know of any better way we might secure our insights?
Top ten list never fail
75% of the people in the professions listed are actually the less attractive ones once you get to know them. Its the people in the boring jobs that are wild in bed.
after reading this post, i found that the choices made are ones by their penis, which i can't fault that, however in the long run, they have to put up with your indescrepencies as much as you have to deal with theirs. if you can find a companion that fits that mold and is one one those in the top 10. you got it made, however reality sets in and you get a limp dick.. ah well
I see, seems like Japanese men have more demands on women with style, and also possibly; love and the ability of taking care of someone (ie: childcare worker).
If this is the French list, I bet maids are going to be on the top spot.
nah, childcare worker for easy access to the children
I would actually like to know if there was a "DOESNT MATTER" option or not...
I wouldnt mind if she did nothing at all (even though I dont do anything at all at the moment either). In fact her cool factor chances might be higher because of that. What matters to me is what's in her head and her heart, whatever's outside will just reflect that.
its all about the costumes
Maybe it is because I am not japanese, but I would stay away from everyone in those careers. Here is why.
1. Models- High maintenance
2. Nurse- My mother is a nurse, it'd make me think of her
3. Stewardess- My friend's mother is one, I DO NOT want to think of her
4. Entertainer- 90% chance of her being a bitch/high maintenance
5. Childcare Worker- I'd think of my 5th grade teacher, she had more of beard then any man I know
6. Beautician- As high maintenance maybe even more so then a model
7. Seiyuu- Depends on the seiyuu might be good might be bad
8. Fashion related- High maintenance/bitch/migraine
9. Doctor- I've heard enough from my mother about health, I don't need that from a date
10. Hostess- see numbers 4, 8, 6 and 1
lol mother complex.
you don't sound like a type of guy japanese woman would want to date. not unless your made of money.
Well Japanese women have different personalities due to their upbringing, so they may not require high maintenance.
You, Sir, have an Oedipus complex the size of an apartment complex.
#5 Bwaahahahahaaaaaaaaa
If being with a nurse reminds you of your mother, id say you have abit of a mother complex...
Also you cant really draw a line over all professions, since everyone is different... evne though most of it might be true, i dont think every model/entertainer/beautician/Fashion related/hostess is that demanding of maintenance.
So, dating a schoolgirl that end up working as a nurse. Then suddenly that girl will remind him of, even if they've been dating for some time, his mom.
Bwahahaha!
Imagine him going to a hospital. Only images of his mother everywhere there is a nurse.
Mother complex indeed...
Tough I'd really say schoolgirls would be the best. As then you don't need to think about their jobs, as you know them BEFORE they get this or that job.
Regarding my mother, lets just say I am the youngest guy in my entire family to start loosing hair. Regarding the other professions you are correct, I just said the first thing I thought of them. Most of which are bad preconceptions. I've also never seen an attractive stewardess. Uniform fetishes definitely make a strong showing in this list. Perhaps a bit of money grubbing as well? Either way great pictures are used to represent each profession.
i think your chances of gettin laid are about .5% if that
you, sir, are obviously a cheap asshole. High maintenance? HA!
This is something men fantasize about. Not something we do in reality. Men looks for only 2 main features in women:
1. Presentation
2. Companionship
If either one fails, then there is no grounds left for the men to remain interested in the women. That is the main reason why women thinks highly about themselves, (namely Models etc..) find it hard to find a 'normal' partner.
Most of the above occupations are fetishes created and nurtured by Eroge and mass media. This is something the media wants people to think and thus not applicable to most males. Males by nature, lustrous, do not care what occupation the women holds. As long as they are still within shelve-life, they will not give a dame.
Hehehe, nurses...I heard the nurses at a hospital in Portugal were quite young, and very nice to look at...but I'm sure that is true for most of Europe. Here in the states...
Ughh you just reminded me of some very traumatic memories involving some hideous(not to mention fat-ass) monstrosities who were being passed off as "nurses".
Not so bad if you know where to look;)
Doesn't matter to me as long it's an honest work.
Hmm models no thanks, its few and far between of any of them that actually have a personality behind the face. Child care worker would make a great mother but if were talking just dating they would have to at least have a pleasant personality. I think a voice actor would be really interesting to date not because she can throw on the voice of anime girls but just because they would be interesting to talk to(keep in mind guys the voice actors are not there characters). Hostess and entertainer no thanks same problem as models, they think to highly of them self and already have lots of other guys fawning over them.
Is having hostess as a wife a bad ideal in the first place because they have to flirt with men and it could end up to be a dangerous. Hostess can have powerful stalkers.
It is stupid to assume just because a girl is beautiful makes them shallow with no personality. Those girls probably don't want to date you either for being so shallow.
Simply put and fetishes aside, it goes like this:
1. Aesthetics
2. Service
3. Service
4. Aesthetics
5. Service (Takes care of children)
6. Aesthetics
7. Aesthetics
8. Aesthetics
9. Service
10. Service
with Service also encompassing the whole subservience mentality.
Expected, I guess. Though to be honest, can we really disagree? I would want love to factor in there too.
Only stupid people believe in love. Do you even know what the word means? Men can't love, women can't love. Nature has wired us to breed like rabits and evolve.
More like hopeless people....What, you think humans and animals are the same in that regard? You think there are only instincts that drive us when it comes to finding a girl?
And don't think I'm just some clueless guy whom has never had to go through any pain regarding girls, I've had my heart mercilessly crushed before as many people have, and I don't expect to find that one girl anytime soon, but that isn't gonna stop me, and something like that shouldn't stop you either.
Fyi I'm not some religious nut either, just you're typical aetheist.
Virgins for life yo^
Amen
Amen
The childcare worker might not just be about service, they also inspire a very moe aura being cute loving girls that take care of others.
Where is "Student"?
I am pretty sure that being a student is not a profession, though it's a common fetish...
Student wasn't on the list.
7. how could it be aesthetics when their profession mostly involves their voice?
also, you can tell the demographics asked for this survey were otakus just based on this #7
About women voice, not only voice - but all that she talk about... all factors are necessary, but if you will women only for sex, than it shall be better for you to ask prostitute for some (they are payed to do that for you). Seriously, not all of them are same and i hope there are still some cute, fair and with nice voice lady in my country that will love me. (i was be always daydreamer) Oh, and any women can be beautiful! She just need stylize herselfs.
Amen, Artefact. Voice is a big draw for me as well.
If she sounds like she's a couple packs short of Lung Cancer, then no, I'd avoid getting into a relationship. I'd feel too much like I was snogging an ashtray.
It's probably due to my lousy eye sight, but I don't go by visual attractiveness when looking at a potential girlfriend.... when I was dating, anyway. But not everyone is the same way. They have different things which make or break such qualifications for a possible girlfriend/mate.
I would certainly consider voice when evaluating someone's attractiveness. You are probably going to spend more time talking to someone than you are having sex with them in any normal relationship. A beautiful voice is a pleasure to listen to.
This is one hella stupid argument about #7. If people REALLY did seriously rate voice at the top of the "things i'd like" list, then wouldnt singers/idols take the place in the list?
i'm thinking all of this is connected to the is my waifu thing but the best thing i could get is the voice so i'll settle with 3d disgusting pig that owns it.
Well top list of women to avoid.
the sound of a voice has nothing to do with aesthetics?
Some seiyuu I'd fuck on their voice alone, watch out Inoue-san I'm coming for you!
oh please, when you date a girl, do you look for someone with a good voice?
if so, shame on you. a man should only look at looks when looking for someone to date.
sure some seiyuus are hot but a bunch of them are pretty fugly as well
Ask them to put on a mask with the respective anime character printed on as you fuck them?
I often find that girls i find attractive others don't (which works out great for me) and as a number of those jobs requires girls most consider attractive. I think out of them id go with a childcare worker but that's as much because i like children(and not in that way you sick people) as it is because they would need a caring personality to do such a job.
personally I think it's best to go after a girl a bunch of quiet nerds/people without enough courage to talk to a girl might like. Mainly because there's no real competition, well possibly their ex's trying to win them back but that's usually brushed aside if you're a good enough man for her(that means more than just physical) In other words slutty girls out(unless you just need to get laid in which case hurry the fuck up), nice girls in(for a long lasting relationship, i married a nice girl for crying out loud :D)
01:19 - you are an astute tactician and these girls can be really sweet (hence milder males liking them) but you have to keep going. takes courage in a relationship as well as to start one.... so after a while doesn't matter if nerds are there or not
Yea, I think childcare worker sounds more romantic or something....I mean the other jobs don't really go into what personality they might have. And I find it depressing how so many guys seem to be more into looks than personality....does anyone care about things like romance and such anymore?
Of course guys consider their personalities!
And of course guys care about romance!
We just don't want to get a heart-attack in the morning when looking at our partner/wife/gf...
>.>
most of them require a degree of beauty... except for "seiyuu".
Only voice required... Cant say much for some seiyuu appearance...*ahem*
Either way, I'd all of above... >.<
Agreed.
reply to Anim3Fr33K
Studies show that most women will find the guys that other girls want attractive. But on the other hand, most men will find girls that not many fight over attractive.
Possibly because ot the bitchy attitude the girls surrounded by guys have. But guys surrounded by girls, will still want one more.
I would marry woman who work in any profession that love me, except prostitution!
You have a high chance to get relation ship with Entertainer and Hostess than with any other job worker
voice actress>>> REC =3
endo aka-san? Agreed.
