When asked “what profession would you most like to try dating?” Japanese women gave a less than surprising list of the most glamourous and lucrative professions they could think of, apparently supporting the all but universally held notion that material wealth is the key to success with the ladies…
1. Doctor
2. Pilot
3. Comedian / “talent”
4. Entertainer
5. Lawyer
6. Working in the mass media
7. Manager
8. Working at a big manufacturer
9. Civil servant
10. Musician
Even politicians and academics found themselves languishing at the bottom of the list, showing perhaps that high status is not as desirable as high salary; a poor showing by financial professionals, also at the bottom, is probably a reflection of the lately less than stable nature of this industry…
However, this list is positively balanced in comparison to the male version, visible here.

What about athlete?
None are interested in dating a mercenary?
Yup! It's about money...
:/
yay, I'm at the top 10 ;D
i fucking love this site. lol
anyway, i'm on the list. which is weird, i'd expect engineers in.
so i'm an IT-ish civil servant. where does that rank? lol.
i'm just looking for that special someone who will feed me. is that too much to ask?
imma guy btw. any rich wimmins out there who needs a TV sitter? i can TV sit after my civil er, serving...
will tvsit for food and or sex(if wimmin is pretty by normal standards, like 9 outta 10 guys think the gal is 7 or more, 10 supermodel, 1 is probably related to the Canis lupus family). mostly food. or bandwidth even.
yay more stupid top 10 lists
I hate them too, but Internet Law dictates this is how to present any statistical ranking.
Bet the male version is "anything that works".
I honestly thought something like actor, entertainer, singer would be on top, but doctor... that should have been obvious. $$$$$
GOD I HATE THAT ANIME!!!!
I'll never forget that doctor's face... I saw that hentai when I was like 13... I seriously wanted to kill that doctor, lol
Why are all of the jobs somehow featured in shoujo manga before? -.-
Engineers are the unsung heroes of humankind. Knowing the fact that efforts and innovations benefited far many lives (behind the curtain) than many other professions combined is a satisfactory reward of its own.
While doctors heal 1 life at a time, mechanical engineers invent instruments that could perform much more complex surgeries than before.
While pilots fly hundreds of passengers everyday, aeronautical engineers continually improve designs to ensure passenger safety.
While entertainers bring smiles to people in front of them, communication engineers bring smiles to people in front of the mass media throughout the world.
Whilst having a family is a perfectly optional choice of an engineer, to dive into the engineering profession without fully realizing that your job will demand your absolute dedication and commitment with minimal materialistic rewards is a mistake. Know that engineering is one of the few remaining fields in which noble and moral values are highly relevant to the job.
ENGINEERS OF THE WORLD, DANKETSUSURU (UNITE)!!!
If only I could name a few anime/manga that center around engineers....
engineering sucks!
medicine rules!
go suck a dick
I thought it fair.
maybe you just have to left aside simple matter..
Engineering freshman here...
I'd just like to point out, wouldn't engineers be included under the "working at a big manufacturer" thing? There is still hope for us!
Japanese survey? The shit... this could be anywhere.
Pilot mtf!!!!!!'s XD ( currently pilot in training with 2 hours light and 3 hours ultra light)
fuck, my ex exactly went for the doctor & ditched me!
According to Michael Moore's new movie Pilots don't make a lot of money.
So, the females chose their partner based on their own gain of the deal, while males choose theirs by the satisfaction of their lust? Seems pretty close to about every other country, although different in magnitude.
Ohnoes! Why aren't IT professionals included? T_T
Bro if where IT we are on #8 spot..... hehehe...
"Mangaka" doesn't appear on the list... just as expected
I am die Ubermensch!
I don't know why the article continues to stress the money thing when this article contains such examples as "#3 Comedian". I imagine it's just because Sankaku writers can't stop stereotyping Japanese women as greedy bitches at every single goddamn opportunity they get.
Srsy... nothing of this is surprising....
sankakucomplex teached me one, japanese girl are on the make, not more...
This really isn't any less shallow than the men's list, although it's shallow for different reasons.
the top picture does not bring good memories to mind lol
Oh god, and I married a guy who makes way less than I do and who likes to cook for me and help take care of our children! OMG, I must be a failure at being a woman!
Nah, your husband is just a failure of a man. Good for you!
if he's seriously happily married, he's a god among men, id say
You guys are SOOOO guilty of wanting women outside of your league. Most of you are a 6 or less out of 10 looks and personality wise, and have little to nothing in common with the average "hot" woman. Therefore, logically, the only way for you to get any is to have enough money to convince said "hot" women to want to be around you for any length of time. I agree with that Dilbert book that I read that says that engineers pretty much are looking to eventually just replace women because the current model is flawed in one way another.
I'm an average woman, kinda chunky yet active and gregarious. I love geeky things like anime, video games and get along pretty well with geeky guys in general.
And yet, they're sitting there drooling over some girl who has nothing in common with them and fantasizing about their hot butt all day. They're like dogs chasing cars; they have no idea what they'd do if they caught one.
I've had my share of "nice guys" dump my ass for some vapid idiot jerk woman who stepped all over them and broke their hearts, and yet they were still retarded over these women because they were thin and hot in a stereotypical way.
I say, good riddance! If you really want to get yourself a hot golddigger, then great! One less mook to deal with in my life.
Seriously, guys, if I'm going to date an asshole, I would prefer him to be a hot asshole with good hygiene and who at least showers me with stuff and affection at the beginning and enjoys pleasing a woman in bed.
None of this wimpy geek play that I've been getting with guys who seem to think that porn is sex (ie: me doing all the work), who haven't heard of a damn shower (because they would rather surf 4chan), and whose idea of a birthday present is telling me that I don't have to get THEM a birthday present.
At least women who date rich attractive jerks get SOMETHING socially and economically out of the experience.
I don't even have my dignity anymore.
Fuck you, nice guys of the world. "Nice Guy" is obviously secret code for "passive aggressive asshole jerk who will use you and throw you away."
and forget a window to every anon, you dont even use what you have and look at what most poeple are actually saying here... the most of us hate goldiggers. Did you even see the responses to the article posted here about 90% of Japanese women wanting high salery men?
as for "And yet, they're sitting there drooling over some girl who has nothing in common with them and fantasizing about their hot butt all day. They're like dogs chasing cars; they have no idea what they'd do if they caught one."
was that last part a huge cliche or a quote from a movie? Either way, I cant stand how so many people hate stereotypes and then cling to them like lifesavers! What you discribed yourself as looking like, there are people who fantasize over bodies like that. There's an ideal looking woman for all kinds of men out there. There's people on this site that like boobs of all kinds of sizes, from non-existant to the size of the moon. When arte posts a picture, it's never unanimous that the person is either ugly or beutiful, there's always an argument.. unless it's one of arte's purposely grotesque posts, ofcourse, lol.
And why do you care what we think? most of us are ugly anyways, right?
Finaly, everyone has their fantasies, even happily married people. Only a fool would be jeleous over impossible fantasies, and only a fool would cling to impossible fantasies rather than accept reality and what you already have, but just having fantasies doesnt make you a fool by any degree. I dont dream about the women i find attractive having nothing in common with me, part of the fantasy is that they are beutiful not only outside but inside, and who am I to assume they arent really like that? THe only people without fantasies are those who psyche themselves away from them, by telling themselves that theyre wrong and horrible and that having them makes them a bad person.
"I don't even have my dignity anymore"
I threw away your argument when I reached this statement.
I didnt know you had a window to see though the computer screens of every anon on this site O_O
get lost, you whore!
*sigh* Well, there goes any chances of getting a Japanese Girl, I'm a n00b Geologist and GIS tech, but they don't want me. Well, that's just more money for me. I guess i should just focus on work and less on girls ...
Every pilot I've ever met was either a woman or gay, silly Japanese women.
Well, those pilots with an extremely secured job while lazying around are not civil pilots. Its the military pilots. With a pacifist country like Japan and a idiotic neighbor like N. Korea, you do the equation.
Just weight out the amount of time they will be on duty as compared to their wages which equals to their risk.
show me the money
SHOW ME THE MONEY!!
Ah well, Physicist isn't there. Too bad for me...
And wait Musician ? Since when do they make money ?? It should be replaced with "Musician for the Big Four". Only then it'd make a bit more sense.
Well that's not a surprise. Well musician can go either way depending on whether he's like some superstar or some hobo on the streets.
I think more of at the very minimum singing at a few venues. Seiyuus love rockstars, Nabatame dated one before she became a full time lesbian.
Being a guy so hot that even LESBIANS date you ... wow.
*sigh*
........>.> Pilot...comedian...???? Hell if that were here, the chick wouldn't really care. They just either care if you 1. Have good money 2. Either look good 3. Or have a good sex game. That's basically it...almost in the order.
Wait, wait... manga-ka is 16? i thought they're dirt poor :p
The top ten are all high paid salarymen alright, to the point of being voted as popular and called as "lucky bastards"(da good way)
If noticed closer, the top ten winners are the people who are pretty much looked up to everyday in work or in the sky. A pity to those politicians who gets blamed for lenient public nuisance law???(train situations)and getting less popular with the girls???
Last time I checked, politicians are the most cunning, best creatures on the planet that receives unknown trucks of money, control over the police and underground schemes and have weekly "heaven on earth" ero parties without even their wives knowing it.
The no. 2 spot, the pilot
if the man is the pilot, then who is the airplane then?
if salary the issue i think they have forgotton Accountants. a finance manager
Doctors being rich is myth, at least with most of them
Doctors in general have long hours and on call hours. That may be a factor.
It depends on which doctor. Surgeons working in private hospitals are very well paid. General practitioners in comparison earns less.
Doctor? Pilot? Lawyer? Really?
That's so cliche it hurts. Also, there are so many doctors and lawyers around nowadays, it's no achievement.
Actually, it IS an achievement to become a doctor, pilot, or lawyer. It takes lots of studying to become one, regardless of how many people already are in those fields.
If there are a lot of them, that may reduce your earnings, but that's a separate issue.
THIS IS MADNESS!
No no no no no! This reference is old, and you're stupid.
Enough with the stinking forced meme before we get a restraining order on you.
Where do scientist fall? Are they sort of like doctors?
People with a PhD, a doctorate are called "Doctors" in their profession. Scientist are people who conduct research in various fields in science and engineering and they can be of any profession.
For example a chemical engineer that is conducting research for new materials is a scientist and if he has a PhD in chemical engineering he is also a Doctor in chemical engineering and people will adress him as Doctor of professor.
I hope this helps.
Except no engineer with a PhD would say "Doctor" when naming their profession.
You would address them as Dr.(Engineer), but that is not a profession.
Morons.
Are you insane?
You can't compare scientists to doctors since science actually requires brain and thinking while medicine only requires memorization.
MORON!!! People with a PhD are called doctors. That is why it called a doctorate. If you have a doctorate in engineering. You are called a Doctor in engineering or any profession you have a doctorate degree in.
Bow your head in shame before I spank your sorry ass.
Who says doctor means medical professional? A doctor of a scientific field is no doubt still quite wished for. Unfortunately no-body likes psychologists, so my PhD in Child Psychology is no good...
Learn to read, I've use the term 'greatest genii' which is entirely to my own opinion and thus non-quantifiable and thus cannot be wrong or right, also I stated quite clearly that a lot of psychological care is counter productive, but specialised psychological help is more likely to be a positive result. I'm a psychologist, I learn to choose words carefully, I advise you learn to read them before you attempt to counter-argue.
More support for the hypothesis that psychology is a useless waste of time?
@Anon 14:42 18/11/2009:
You wrote, "Without us most of the greatest genii would be psychological vegetables"
I call bullshit.
Do you have some database listing all the genii in the world, and run a comparison against a database of all genii in the world under psychological care, and have found that more than half (i.e., "most") of them are, or have been, under psychological care?
I thought not.
(Unvalidated assumptions of in the above test: [a] all genii requiring psychological care have, or are receiving it, and all outcome of psychological care is positive.)
My opinion is that psychology is interesting for studying but quite useless in real life.
Psychologists are useless.
Psychiatrists are awesome. They can prescribe drugs.
Psychologist aren't useless. Anon is just stupid.
You have not seen the result of good psychology on difficult patients. I have worked with several rape victims who without specialised psychological help would be true wrecks; general psychologists, and untrained 'helpers' are both actually very counter productive to maintaining and studying effects on mental health. I will admit that general psychology is also not useless, but over-used and less useful than it's made out to be. The problem is similar to doctors and surgeons in my opinion. Surgery can often be avoided but they're still important, and drugs are often over used and over-hyped, but they're still good. Over-hyped general psychology makes most people think the same as you, but specialised psychology can help a lot of the most intellectually impressive people in society actually be able to interact with society. Without us most of the greatest genii would be psychological vegetables, and many of the top positions would be filled with less fitting people.
What we do is to make the useful people useful, and saying that psychiatrists are useless is like saying a car mechanic is useless if you have a taxi-driver. We fix the machinery, but the machinery is the bit which gets the job done.
Doctor？ They actually mean Nurse I think.
No, doctor. It's who the women want to date.
I'm calling it now - number 1 for the Men's list will be Housewife.
Guaranteed.
Not Schoolgirl, you disappoint me.
Model or Nurse comes to mind for me, but housewife would be high too no doubt.
Pornstar?
What? Who wants a woman that is filled with dudes on a daily basis?
fuck no. i'd wear rubber then do sora aoi, but for a relationship? nah.
i'd brag i did an AV/pron star but that's it. call me shallow but i don't wanna be sharin my bitch.
Quite a large number of males, I'm certain.
Don't ask me why.
I think it's actually considered something like 'normal' to want to be in a relationship with a porn star.
Quite a large number of males, I'm certain.
Don't ask me why.
I think it's actually considered something like 'normal' to want to be in a relationship with a porn star.
It's absolutely disgusting.
As if they have a choice.
The correct answer is....A super sexy magical horny schoolgirl musician witch teacher warrior with nekomimi and a part time job at a maid cafe. (who spends her own money)
some of those are oxymorons.. schoolgirl teacher? a warrior working at a maid cafe? a sexy witch spending her own money?
ah, to be young again..
School Girl?
no army officer who is son of wealthy family in list huh?
Army officer is one thing. They don't make a lot of money. Son of wealthy family is another and not exactly a profession so it wouldn't be valid.
lol.i see
What about in the computer field?
i guess girls don't like geeks... darn.
unless you count being a manager in the computer field
Wow, I didn't expect pilot to be up there as rank 2.
I'm a pilot, and I didn't expect to see it so high either. But I forgot that while most young pilots in the US make $22,000/year, most airline pilots in Japan make a boatload. Or, a cargoload.
$22000 a year? That's...lower than minimum wage.
maybe he means 220,000? but what's an average for what pilots make anyway?
"Wow, I didn't expect pilot to be up there as rank 2."
It's probably because Pilots are away from home a lot, so gives the wife time to fool aroudn with the milkman. :)
Lol @ BaratsandBaretta reference!
So wouldn't milkman be ranked number 1?
no, milkman salary would be shit compared to the pilot.
But think about it, they have mony and luxuries with Piltot and have GOOD times with Milkman.
A+ shit bro.
Pilots range from heli pilots to just taking the tour plane over to one of the many islands. Having a husband who can fly one of those things can be quite nice. For airline pilots, taking your wife along for shore leave is a very good thing
Pilots earn a lot due to the huge responsibilities they hold, if they are in the civil aerospace industries. Risk if they are in the military service.
Already watched the movie 2012? If you have a husband that knows how to pilot a plane, chances that you can escape the apocalypse..
Never watched, never will.
Seriously, they are trying to convince us that the Mayans knew something we don't centuries before the invention of telescope.
And that there is some huge planet heading towards us that we can't detect, even through we can detect something as small as a asteroid 1000th smaller than earth.
I suppose this is what you would come to expect from a nation which is more inclined to trust a 3000 Hebrew fairy tale more than actual logic.
(2012 spoilers below...
Actually, both of the pilots that helped the main characters escape, died in the attempt.
So good for you, bad for your husband/boyfriend/lover. :)
PFFT! Like they'd care if the husband died (They'd just replace him). xD
