Wives Demand “Ideal” ¥6,000,000 Salary from Husbands

wedding-dress-louise-otaku-bride.jpg

The latest data on that most fraught of Japanese economic institutions, marriage, indicates a woman’s preferred salary for their husband is in the region of at least ¥6,000,000 annually, even though actual husbands generally earned as little as half that.

Firstly, women asked what the current income of their husband was reported modest salaries, the most common being:

1. ¥3,000,000-4,000,000

2. ¥4,000,000-5,000,000

3. Under ¥3,000,000

14% reported being happy with their husband’s income, as opposed to 30% reporting dissatisfaction. Some of their reasons ran as follows:

“My goal is for him to have an income sufficient for me to become a housewife. It’d be hard with what he has now.” (28-year-old wife with ¥3,000,000-4,000,000)

“If we have children we’d need even more!” (24-year-old wife with ¥4,000,000-5,000,000)

The next question was “Frankly, what is the salary you want from your ideal husband?”:

1. ¥5,000,000-6,000,000

2. ¥6,000,000-7,000,000

3. ¥10,000,000-11,000,000

A variety of reasons were offered:

“I can only afford to eat out once a month, so if there was more I could eat better.”

“With ¥6,000,000 I could go on holiday once or twice a year!”

“We can get by on ¥3,000,000. I’m grateful to him for working hard for me!”

Previous surveys along similar lines yield similar results, and the tight control Japanese wives exert over their husband’s earnings is already legendary.

2ch’s take:

“Earn your own money you damn parasites!”

“If a man earns ¥5,000,000 annually and a woman ¥1,000,000, she will marry him.

But if a man earns ¥3,000,000 and a woman ¥3,000,000 as well, she won’t marry him.

This is why we should abolish equal pay for the sexes.”

“There’s probably only 5% of men of marriageable age with a ¥6,000,000 income.”

“My ideal bride has a ¥6,000,000 income.

But there aren’t many making that.

I wonder why? Damn women should give it some thought.”

“It’s amusing how their ideal income is gradually coming down. In 2007, it was 8,000,0000.”

“They’re just adjusting to the economic climate.”

“Damn whores should just marry an ATM.”

“If the sexes were equal women would need a ¥6,000,000 income to marry a guy who makes that much.”

“I made ¥5,000,000 at 25 and I still make ¥5,000,000 at 40, what am I supposed to do…”

“Japan’s real winners are the civil servants then…”

“I make ¥6,000,000 but she still turned me down. I want to die.”

“If you want that kind of money, please try earning it yourself. This is why so many men are marrying the partner in their hearts.”

“Who, Louise?”

    They don't want to be "housewives", they want to be "lazy" and sit around all day. That way they can watch TV, spend their husbands money, and cheat on him with some asshole.

    $67,000 if you work <40 hr a week takes around $37/hr.

    If you work <60 hr a week takes around $26/hr

    But if you work more hr like 60 the wife spends more time with your hard earn money then you do with your wife. open them up to cheating + gold digger.

    Crazy for them to ask for such an amount, and not everybody is going to come up with that kind of salary for different careers they are in. It's obvious that both husband and wife find both jobs for each other and find some time to do things when they are not working, like having sex and etc.

    6.000.000¥ is completely OK, and you should remember that in Japan taxes are already comprised, so when you're offered 6M¥, it's 6M¥ in your pocket.

    The problem is NOT how much money it represents, it's that whorish gold-digging attitude of those women.

    They want money ? They EARN it, period.

    I like it how all the people who comment "60k $ is not that much, I graduated from college and started with >insert amount here<" conveniently forget that the economy greatly differs across the world and that their country is not the centre of the universe.

    In some countries you will NOT see higher salaries than 30k $ a year, and even that is considered high end - even if you're in bloody lucrative fields like engineering, IT and so on with years of work experience and extra certificates. While the average person would make 15k $ a year or under. That's some food for thought there.

    Fucking parasites.

    Look, if my girlfriend wanted to stay at home for a couple years while our theoretical child was in the very early years of their life? Honestly, I'd approve. Girl deserves three or four years of being a housewife after spending nine months hauling around the thing and then giving birth to it. Hell, beyond that she should be getting a part-time job that allows her to contribute to the household.

    But if my girlfriend told me she wanted to stay at home to be a housewife so that I could support her for no reason, I'd show her ass the door. I will not work extra hours to justify her lazy ass sitting on the couch watching TV or playing video games.

    I work my ass off at my job so that sometimes I can play video games in my free time. There is literally no woman on Earth who is awesome enough to convince me that the opportunity to sleep with her, even nightly, is worth the effort of supporting her hobbies with the money left over from paying all of our bills.

    that is your culture. it isn't like this in Japan. Most women are 'expected' by their in-laws/their parents, heck even they themselves, to get out of the workforce once they get married. Its also to show that your husband can work and earn enough for both of you.

    in that sense, its more like a status symbol which somehow everyone is supposed to follow or you are an outcast. In japanese society, being an outcast can literally drive someone to suicide. If you are a female above 30 years old or so and still working, assumptions are

    1) you are an old maid and can't get married
    2) there's something wrong with you so no one wants you
    3) your husband is a useless idiot
    4) you are disrespecting your in-laws by going to work, thus bringing shame upon the family

    you get the point?

    I get the point, but it doesn't change the fact that some women in japan are following an ideal that some men won't be able to match up to. And I feel that something is wrong with the very concept of it all. Sure, I still want to go to japan someday and I still do like asian females, although it would just feel weird if any women I date would clearly be after me for money and would live off of me if married. I do like to see some kind of independence that some women in this world have. And even if I do have the salary that will support both me and the wife in the future, doesn't change the fact of these two thoughts.

    1) That my future wife will divorce me if I'm even 10% down from the recommended income that she expects.

    2) I would divorce her if she's a lazy housewife that does nothing.

    It's too bad that some women rely on men too much, only for some to leave them if their salary sucks. The concept of getting out of the workforce once married might be conforting for some women, but bothersome for others. In this case, it feels like maintaining love and marriage depends on the very depths of my salary....and love usually isn't seen like that.

    The real issue is that women are very much like cats. Even if you feed them every day, take care of them, and clean their shit, it's no guarantee they won't just waltz off with some alley cat in a "flight of whimsy", and think it's okay. If a woman wants to sit in the background like these women seem to desire, I'd expect them to cater to their husband like a king, and be of the utmost support to him.

    But that isn't very likely is it?

    Which is why I keep considering this as another way for both men and women to keep messing around like this and hurting each other somehow. USA and Japan's economy is taking blows that already puts them into a recession already, how can anybody still make stupid unrealistic goals and expect people to still make that much money when circumstances won't allow them to at times? Call me immature, but even though I know some women are whores and asking for too much, there's got to be some indepedent women out there that is doing just as well as other people.

    I don't know why so many complain about women not wanting to work.

    I find that absolutely reasonable, seeing that biologically they are far inferior to men, so the job they would do would be shittier compared than to the work a man would do, thus resulting in a worse world for everyone.

    In an ideal world, men would work and make money and women would stay at home, take care of the house and children, because that's what they are suited for best, biologically.

    Sure, evidence is all around you. I suppose you don't study anything?

    First off, purely biologically speaking, women have a smaller body mass to brain mass ratio than men. They can't produce enough testosterone to build muscles or be aggressive/skilled enough at anything, because testes are the biggest testosterone producer, and women got only ovaries, which produce minimal amounts of testosterone which are necessary for life. Women's brains are based on white matter while men's is on gray matter, the former responsible for information processing and the latter for connections between processing centers.

    That are just a few examples of established biological facts about women's inferiority to men. Everything I wrote is on http://en.wikipedia.org, look it up if you're really uneducated.

    Secondly, through history, women have never contributed anything significant to mankind and its progress. But ok, feminists will tell you women were oppressed because they were physically weaker, like men didn't allow women to study because they were afraid to unleash hidden potential! My ass, they just didn't want to waste time on educating women because it's useless. But ok, that's all anecdotal evidence.

    And lastly, statistics. In both the 1999 and 2004 Richard Lynn's unbiased statistics, men had more mean I.Q.

    I'm not saying women are useless, they are useful in their own ways, like taking care of children and being supporters, but they should stay the fuck out of both mental and physical work, if we want a better world.

    I really respect female. They're just one of the greatest creation by God. But i do share the same head with you in this one. Equality "in work" just wont work (no pun intended).
    Females had their own given surplus point that men didn't have and vice versa. That'a why we complete each other nicely. ^^

    I see some people here say how easy it is to earn a 60k USD a year.And talking like we all should able to achieve and follow the success like they did.Well... im not gonna told them to see the real world (since we all are wth?). But i want them to read news for the least.

    This world do not only consist of your neighborhood and the country where you live...
    60k USD? Try going here in Indonesia. Where people literally kick (or kill for that matter) anyone else in the face just for a mere 10 bucks.
    Ooooo-Waaaaw So your country's rich and the people are well payed and easy to get a job. yeah, good for you mr. longnose

    A fresh graduated payed for a 50k a year? LoL.
    Here the nebies are getting their ass whipped and work like machine just to STAY employed. For there are like around 1 million more people ready to take his/her position at any chance.

    Im a lecturer here in Indonesia for about 3 years. And guess what? i only make a roughly 12k USD per year. Yeah, go ahead and laugh. i dont care. You guys dont know how it feel looking for a job in here. One of the reason?
    Yes. Equality. Back then my dad doesn't need to worry about a hundred thousand or million women trying to occupy men's job. (There's more women than men in Jakarta) The guy could work at a job that he's really into, thus making him a fully efficient and good worker. While the women take care of the home and their FAMILY'S RELATIONSHIP with everyone else (Yes, that's the most forgotten role from a housewife nowadays)

    But now? Lol divorce is like a plague and we see women faces in like every job/bussiness avaiable.(Especially entertainment) While the men busy stomping at each other to get a decent work that doesn't involve breaking the law.All the glamour an bling bling are just for mere % of people in here. While the rest are just trying to stay alive... let alone make a "good" family.

    And the only reason we have equality in the west now is because the U.S. realized that, during WWII, they could double the workforce by making all housewives work while the men fought.

    Double the workforce meant more people making money, hence they experienced a substantial economic growth back then.

    Every other country realized this after the U.S. did it and began drumming up the media under the "women deserve equal rights" farce.

    Despite all the womens' lib in America, much of this still holds truth. There are still many women who go to college just for their MRS. degree.

    The average college graduate (bachelors) makes about $48,000 here, which is acceptable in their eyes if you can get such a job in this economy. I graduated in fall and I'm still waiting in line for a salary position.

    In Japan, the eldest son usually gets cherished by the parents and is able to stay under their support longer (until around age 30). The thing is a woman who is this picky will less likely have their parents' support that long. It comes down to either going with being a career-woman or trying to whore out themselves. Hard to believe, but most people choose the path that's easiest to them.

    If that sounded sexist, please open your eyes and take a look at the world you closed minded persons.

    5,000,000-6,000,000 is about 60k-72kAUD which doesn't seem like an unrealistic amount.

    You can pull that sort of money working in the public service here, before tax of course ;)

    I reckon this would be the ideal amount if you had a one income family with one child providing your wife isn't spending all your money on hand bags instead of the mortgage.

    Edit: Though the situation seems a bit different in Japan :|

    That works out to 72,000 AUD, is that really that much? In Australia if you join the Police Force after 3 months training you start on a salary of 50,000 with benefits and 'SuperAnnuation of 12%' after 3 years of your full training you go to 60 and it climbs from there every couple of years. The Army, Navy and Airforce are even better in terms of salary. These are the basic amounts too, christ even Teachers in Australia start on 60k.

    Although, what age are they marrying at I wonder? I suppose it could be considered a bit mad to try and find a 20year old on 70k.

    No wonder more people are marrying Dakimakuras.... ^^

    I concur with that. They should go marry those Automated Teller Machines ^^

    That's why i hate 3D girls. So demanding, sapping your wallet and commanding you to quit your anime hobby for their own satisfaction yey :D

    It's amazing that some people strive for unrealistic goals, although there are some women in japan who is happy with their husbands income at the least.

    I still remember that my parents has good income, but nowhere near the salary when changing USD to Yen, and they've been married for 22 years and they are still happy together. It's sad some people marriage don't last long because of somebody's low income.

    This is what happens when you don't teach girls the value of personal effort. Men are not made of money!

    This kind of thinking is destroying Japan.

    WTF?! With an undergraduate degree anyone can make that money right out of college in the US.... I know it must suck for ppl in japan unless they're doctors, dentists, green engineers and professors b/c that's what's "in" right now for $60k +. YEAH! GHEY I KNOW! My dream of living in japan is shattered! Who tha fuck is gonna live off an average of $30k of the majority of careers in japan. IT'S NOT WORTH IT! FACK!

    Hahaha, you must not know anything about the real world. You can only really get paid that much money with an undergraduate degree if you major in either engineering or computer science, and even then the average is a bit lower and not everyone is able to find work.

    Not to mention the state of the economy...I graduated from an elite finance school a couple years ago with internships at a MIT lab and a major insurance company under my belt, and was still jobless for an entire year before finding my current job as a programmer making just over 30k a year (with great benefits, though). And that's only because I was smart enough to diversify my skillset while in college. I consider myself extremely lucky to have my current job, because the only people I know with well paying jobs now were also born into wealthy families.

    Honestly, wouldn't all of us prefer having more money? Who wouldn't love making a lot of money, or having a spouse that has a good paycheck?

    Note the word IDEAL in the title of this article. Just because they'd like to be rich doesn't mean they won't settle for anything less.

    I guess it's fine to want a husband with a higher income. Everyone wants more money. But when they let that desire affect what they have in real life, then it starts to become a problem.

    Dude. As someone who makes quite a lot now, I still started at $42k out of college. In a tech job, with a CS degree. I worked my ass off to get promotions and raises. Changing jobs is almost a necessity to pull it off too (that and a masters degree).

    I sincerely hope you are some bright eyed college student thinking you're gonna make all the big bucks so you can get your dose of reality splashed in your face right off the bat. Maybe then you'll come back down to earth sooner than later.

    The men on 2chan are telling the women to make more money, but the honest truth is women just CAN'T make that much money in japan because they don't get equal pay for equal work. They simply just can't make that much money themselves because of the very sexist work standards in Japan.

    You go to Japan and start offering women equal pay to women as men, I predict company bust in 18 months.

    You're right. The fact that most japanese women stops working when they marry is a complete coincidence.

    Then you start wondering, do they stop working because they know they have a low chance of getting promoted OR do they have a low chance of getting promoted because most women quit once they get married?

    It's like the chicken and egg scenario.

    Doesn't really matter what it is, it's something that needs to be dealt with, because in this day and age having only half your adult workforce working and the other half sitting at their asses watching crappy daytime tv is a recipe for economic disaster.

    HOWEVER, do they deserve equality for this mentality?

    The actual answer is yes because the scale is hugely tipped to their favour regardless of how you look at it.

    Paying women the same as men would only aggravate the problem if said women do not change their expectations.

    Some other survey found out women would never marry a man that did not make considerably more than them.

    This would only reduce the husband material available even further

    I thinks it's fine for someone to wish their husband made more.
    The problem is when they refuses to marry you if you don't.

    In principle I'd go; "Uh, isn't Japan quite rich enough to have anyone with college earning that salary?"

    But, IMO, the only "Labor Union" is probably the local Yakuza chapter who are so bad-arse they probably live off these women waiting to marry a upper-middle class husband and get them while they still look good.

    I'm just curious, tho-
    Is Japan a culture so racist they can't just look to nearby shores? I mean, Korea, the Philippines, Cambodia, India..? Get some lady from an area where US$300 a year (27000Yen by currency conversion off Google) is a good salary. Where ladies tend to be treated like shit for real, not just bitch they only can choose outlaws, overworked people, people with Otaku toys or people who marry a pillow instead of them?

    That, IMO, is why "Equality Now" and the other "Hyenas in Petticoats" the "Modern Women who seek to destroy men" and the "Nucking Futz Fundies" are trying to stop AmeriKKKan and EurAsian men going on "Eastern Sex Tours". They don't mind so much the ones that use 'em as cum dumpsters, but they fear the ones that marry 'em. Competition for the Hyenas and a threat of "KKKultural Pollution" to the Fundiez.

    I thought about something similar (I don't understand your last part btw) And I'm seriously considering getting a Korean girlfriend instead of a Japanese one. However, how I'm I supposed to find a Korean girlfriend in Japan?

    The last part relates to ongoing discussions I've had over "Equality Now" - the main "Crusading Feminist" group trying to get most/all "Hentai" stuff banned, starting with of course "Lolicon" then "Rape Simulators" but their agenda is obviously all pornography. That's the notice that gets that group discussed here, but I make a connection with other groups and their other activities which center around trying to close down "Sex Tourism".

    Case in point, their ongoing jihad against "Big Apple Oriental Tours": http://www.equalitynow.org/english/actions/action_1204-2702_en.html

    This is a company that just specializes in selling men fun tours where they can get smothered in cute oriental ladies, mainly Filipino women! And they don't cater to "Pedarists", the adult women there are cute enough for gawdz sake! Just some nice sexpatriates out for some Piece and Luv!

    But, if you are in Japan, shouldn't it be easier to take a trip to Korea or the Philippines, Cambodia, etc? And there's the net, of course, not to mention others who've made trips.

    A buddy of mine did that. He's a simple man, though he's quite functional and a good musician and co-runs a business. Well, he got sick of rejection and the attitudes of women and just went to the Philippines. Didn't even have to go to any "Working Girls", just found a really nice lady who'd lost her husband and married her and took her son with him too. Yep, a Phillippino MILF:-) Now they are really happy and he's putting another bun in her oven for him, but her son's calling him "Dad" also.

    Note also:

    "Hyenas in Petticoats" - that's from the great H.G. Wells, the writer of such old school steampunk goodness as "War of the Worlds". He was all for "Free Love", "Women's Suffrage" (the right to Vote) anti colonialist, all sorts of progressive stuff. However, he was a true intellectual and recognized "Militant man-hater Feminists" for what they were.

    "Modern women who seek to destroy men" - from the "Great One", John Norman's writings describing the feminists and their real agendas in the 70s/80s.

    "AmeriKKKa, KKKultural" etc. It's a 60s term. Not that old, but formative years on a "Commune" so I'm used to using such terms. America's less racist now, but more brutal and ignorant and bigoted (esp against Muslims) so I use that term.

    Btw, the average salary be4 tax in Canada is, i believe $60k~ Canadian.

    But honestly, i would be happy with $40k. I can afford myself a car, 1 big trip and 1 small trip each year, and finance a livable $195k shitbox.
