Number 1 in one of the most annoying things for me in Japanese conversations. All those "mmm" and "ah" make me really angry. It gives the impression that the conversation is a bother to the listener. Now i'm told by this poll that it's actually a cultural habit!? Oh man, learning Japanese culture is getting more fucked up by the day. I can't keep up with it. WTF!!!???

Praise their dress or possessions. ("Praise" strikes me wrong here, it gives off the impression of pretentiousness, "positive comments" might be more along the lines of what they actually meant by praise) 8. Follow through on any self-deprecatory comments. (I don't find this a good conversation starter, might seem "self esteem issues". It's good to keep a conversation lighthearted though) 9. Always ask questions at the end of a conversation. (This one is just wrong in my eyes, it's better to know when a conversation is over and then move on to something else) 10. Lightly ask for advice on something. (Asking for an opinion is good for getting a conversation going. Asking for advice seems overkill since the scenario is "get a conversation going", assuming the other is a stranger or one is not yet familiar with. If it is, then I don't see why getting a conversation going would be a problem) The last ones seem rather awkward to me, specifically:

This is kind of argument is like the age old idealism vs realism debate. After all, there is the often forgotten choice to just say nothing in a situation like that it's either lying or being honest. And no, I don't claim to be an expert in women (I'm just a guy after all), but I just use a little common sense and experience on what works and what doesn't.
