Japanese asked what sort of boy or girlfriend they would be aghast at their children bringing home gave an interesting if unsurprising set of answers…
The unwelcome boyfriend ranking:
1. He’s violent
2. He’s a violent drunk
3. He’s in debt
4. He likes gambling
5. He is prone to adultery
6. He has a tattoo
7. He has no fixed income
8. He’s a NEET
9. He has a bad personality
10. He can’t greet people properly
Almost two thirds of the respondents were female, possibly explaining the preoccupation with material wealth…
The unwelcome girlfriend ranking:
1. She’s in debt
2. She’s a violent drunk
3. She likes gambling
4. She’s violent
5. She has a bad personality
6. She has a tattoo
7. She is prone to adultery
8. She has no manners
9. She has no common sense
10. She can’t greet people properly
Poor potential daughter-in-laws are acceptable however…
In both cases a relatively relaxed attitude towards otaku was evident though – an otaku boyfriend was ranked 22nd, whilst a fujoshi girlfriend came dead last at 30; although the fact they were even included in the ranking says something…

The person may not be a violent drunk at first but he could turn.My dad is one and it worries me.
What, there's no "He's a foreigner" category?
"She cant greet people properly"
My mother is really harsh on this one :D
"9. She has no common sense"
lol women
I agree with anon here - if you go with #9 for woman, your never going to date (what woman has common sense?)
All the one's YOU don't know.
Is being handicapped on the lists? What if you bring someone of the same sex? Different religion? Skin color? etc.
Number 6 for the guys is a damn lie.
Bitches love a guy with tattoos...
Bitches do, but women don't.
In Japan, tattoos on a guy probably means he's a yakuza.
I have a tattoo. Fuck that shit! I think I'm a fairly good person. Most of the time...
But not ALL the time.
Oh great, I'm only #8. Things are looking up!
shit,
im 7, 8, and 10.......
You gotta learn some manners then and be polite.
Hmm, in our school's yearbook I was the #1 person not to present to your adults. However, I have not even one the above traits. Okay, okay, I didn't have income in school and maybe for #9 describes me. But I think if I had FULFILLED #2 some might have liked me...
the japanese are really weird what kind of children are they talking about O.o
I'm surprised "foreigner" isn't on that list as #1.
I get the feeling part of that is thanks to Yon-sama. When I spent a year studying abroad in Korea, the Korean language school that was a part of the same college seemed to consist mostly of Japanese women.
"8. He’s a NEET"
It doesn't make any sense.
Can a NEET go to someone's home?
You're confusing NEET's with Hikkikomori. It's different things.
NEET=Not Employed, Educated, or in Training.
Hikkikomori=Recluse who never leaves home.
Alright, NEETs not looking to bad at number 8.
moar stupid top 10 lists please moar!
I'm surprised that adultery ranks so low.
It's obvious the respondants were given choices to rank rather than give unique responces, though. Makes it less interesting.
User responses just don't work in these kind of surveys, as you end up with as many responses as users.
You can't show users what the popular choices are without prejudicing the results, and merging the results manually is rather fraught too.
A reasonable compromise.
Were there thirty choices, or did they only announce the top thirty?
im surprised foreigners arent on the list
i'm surprise no one said an otaku.
Probably because otakus won't have a girl/boyfriend to begin with..
i love a girl with tattoos so take that off the list
I love how being a violent drunk places lower for men than just being plain violent.
lol 1 to 10 are just funney
#9 on 2nd list relates to all women.
Most of the male traits seem to describe criminals. Violent, tattoos (sign of yukaza in Japan), gambling, debts, no fixed income...
And not the female traits?
well if you think about it, its gonna make the world implode for being beyond the impossible. And if it did its either the kid(regardless gender) will follow the path of mom or dad... unless he follows both and become the ultimate fan of infinite proportions.
omg,that's just hilarious xD
Well, seen from a mans side, I think a woman should never get drunk in a mans presence... that alone is disgraceful enough, but being a violent drunk is even worse.
I don't know, however, if violent means behaving violent (like shouting, throwing/destroying things when angered) or actual use of violence against living beings (animals (including human beings)/plants). Everyone should let his stress out somehow,and some people are born with a temper(like me),who,however, never use actual violence against anything except objects.Even a women should shout if she's angered with the mans behaviour instead of
seperating/committing adultery/etc...
Tattooes and piercings are even worse and I don't know why being a drug addict isn't in the list(like smoking/drinking/taking other drugs),it seems that it doesn't matter although those people are mentally unstable/weakwilled and are far worse than NEETs/Otakus to have as a partner.
Having no manners isn't that bad if he/she's a good spouse/father/mother, the only bad thing is being a disgrace for ignoring common sense/manners(especially table manners, I know what I'm talking about since some of my relatives do that on a regular base <_<) that correlates with having a bad personality much more than with having bad manners(which should include the proper greetings,of course)...
Shoot, I completely forgot about Fault until that headline image! Did the anime happen yet?
It did.
Ah. Gaijins didn't make the list? So we still have a chance, I see:D
The list would have been too PC to have something like that on it, though I doubt "gaijin" would rate highly as a negative.
japanese violent drunk girls ? can't imagine that...
The unwelcome girlfriend still sounds like a good time to me.
Sounds like something you can hear from MTV's Parental Control..
Has a tattoo? Wtf? A number 6 on both lists? Now that's just messed up. Why the hell should that matter?
It shows that they don't care how they look.
Do these lists look familiar and extremely similar?
The girlfriend with no common sense is probably common enough, and they're not all blondes...
I'm surprised that there is no "she is ugly" or "she is 3D" on that list
"He/She has a tattoo." Seriously? Ignore the fact that the person would have a great personality and probably looks good just because they have a tattoo?
Your question was answered above. It's the culture.
I wonder, what if your a guy and you like your girlfriend shattering your dreams and physically abusing you, being violent on a mental, physical, and emotional level?
why do you let her,learn her otherwise and about authority or else!
What's wrong with violent drunken debtors that gamble too much when not fucking anything that moves too slow?
Oh they also are prone to tattoos I understand now :)
The list is somewhat funny all things considered.
Myself, I'm just worried that my son avoids girls with panties that come off too easily. Considering my brother has two of four sons that have committed acts of accidental parenthood. I want to be in my 50s before anyone calls me grandpa. No wait, that's just 2 years from now and he won't be out of highschool. Lets advance that to when I am retired at 65.
But my son is looking a bit to like a NEET so I doubt I will be greeting too many people at the door.
Dad, is that you?
lol
in other words they don't want partners at all,am i right?
Japanese world thinks (or most Asian for that matter) tattoo = you have some "history" (Jailtime and such)
That's as much stupid assumption on their part just like the blood type thing.
Fair enough, though using the 'Reply to Koroshiya' instead of quoting would have been fine.
Guess the tattoo business is just down to stereotyping and making assumptions then, not like that isn't inherit to the list.
I'm guilty of 7,6 and 10 (Male)
Oops! I meant 7,8 and 10.
If I'm reading well, you'd better be a NEET than a tatooed rock star, right ?
Tatoo probably mean 'yakuza'. Remember there are public baths where somebody with tatoo cannot enter. Beacause it's yakuza tatoo.
What if the parents are otakus and fujoshi??
I think most of us are cool with that.
Look at Konata's dad. She turns out a bit weird and a fujoshi but otherwise awesome!
Build gundams together, shop for new Ero-games and attending Comiket with a mobile ATM. Bliss...
A waifu like Konata is a gift from the heavens.
Riiku 2D girls age great. It's 3D girls that get worse and worse with age.
She just young. Wait till she gets old, you'll regret it.
@Schrobby: Amen...I mean A-taku
@Anon: If she was, our figures would be priceless
@Riiku: You're reading the wrong post. Go troll and find your GF at Busu-kawai gallery.
Konata is like the Holy Grail of otaku.
I think they'd be too poor to afford raising a child anyway instead of spending more on their otaku passion. If only there were otaku parent characters in games, it'd make things so much more interesting. I mean just imagine the lawls it would bring.
>>implying otakus and fujoshi can/would marry.
Oh you.
That's not possible. 2D waifus can't bear children.
You just haven't tried hard enough; the newly married sal9000 is going to prove this theory wrong =P
At least 3D ones anyway.
Well, that goes for the rest of the world as well.
Even in cultures where both women and men are supposed to work, it won't matter much if the girl has a job when choosing a partner.
If it hurts that bad, get a sex change....
Otherwise, stop complaining..
You can always become rich if you work hard. Beauty if something you have to be born with. Plastic surgery only works if you have minor flaws..
Just a note, "get rich or die trying" has a vast majority of people who "die trying". So no, working hard will not guarantee wealth. Luck does, though.
Duh, the answers are so awfully stereotypical they make me puke. Material values are taken over the psychological ones, except the era old "drunk/violent" stereotype... Then, what's fucking wrong with the tatoos. And the greeting thing...
In Japan, tatoo = yakuza...
Eminem *aka* Marshall Bruce Mathers III made 50 Cent lol, If I remember correctly that is..
I'm aware that tattoos and greetings have different meaning/level of importance in Japan, but still, it sucks.
Piercings would be on that list as well if anyone in Japan were retarded enough to do so. Thankfully they have the sense not to.
Tatoos at least can be somewhat decorative, but are generally just tacky
Investing, saving..over time you can have a lot of money.
Was 50 cent your personal finance teacher..
For those who dun know..
Some Western think tatoos is cool..
But the fact, most Asian hate tatoos..
Under asian teaching, hair and skin belong to parents..
unless tatoo is done by your parent if not we never tatoo on our skin..
Because tatoos is a symbol of reject from society..
In the past, only criminals/ animals (cows, pigs, etc) are tatoos on face, cheek, hands, bodies, etc..
So everyone is obsessed about debts and income...-.-"
It is "Work Smart" not "Work Hard" ! "Work Hard" is for the cows or horses, the rich people are smart-working people who knows the difference/tricks to get around faster with half the effort. Unfortunately I'm not one of them.
You wish you could be unemployed.
9. She has no common sense
this should be disregarded; none of em do.
A lot of women have common sense, but most lack logic.
i guess it doesn't matter as much if a girl is a NEET or if a guy has no common sense lol
That's become women are technically expected to become NEETs in a sense when they start raising children, you know.
What's a NEET?
Can you explain to me I am new here...what is NEET?
Have you heard of Google or Wiki? Use it.
Googleing for information would be the appropriate immediate action, agreed. That being said, that still does not excuse or warrant rude behavior. The statement that one cannot help being mean is avoidence of responsabilty in one's own actions. SnooSnoo, your points are valid, but your reasoning is not.
Yes, A mans head on fire is very much like failing to google something...
IN PRISON!
^Anonymous 00:35
The first snarky remark might have been rather harsh. But when the subject is too fucking dumb to use Google, one can't help but be mean. Googling something you want info on = the absolute norm
That's just an excuse for being mean. There's a time when a helping hand is all the meaning in the world. But no.. now we got guys who wouldn't even lift a finger even if the guy's head is on fire... "oh, he needs to learn to do it himself!"
See, distributing wisdom is not the same as being mean.
Ppl who downvoted SnooSnoo here are pretty much acknowledge their stupidity. What he say is timeless truth.
Have you heard of being an ass? In the time it took you to write that snarky reply, you could have answered their question and not been a jerk in the process.

Give a man a fish a day and he will come back for more the next.
Teach a man how to fish and he will survive without your help.
You need some common sense yourself.

i lol'd at the common sense bit
most of the common sense gets destroyed by people bullying other people.
Time to do something about it.
I guess as long as the guy has full pockets, and the girl is cute, not much else matters?
