Japanese asked “If you had the chance to date a foreigner, what nationality would you like to try?” yield up a ranking of nations which provides very little in the way of surprise.
The ranking, with the number of votes received:
1. USA – 4,194
2. Italy – 3743
3. UK – 3,467
4. France – 3,249
5. Korea – 2,706
6. Spain – 1,535
7. Russia – 1,256
8. Germany – 1,195
9. Brazil – 396
10. China – 296
Japanese understanding of barbarian races tends to be closely tied to the same sort of pervasive media stereotypes seen elsewhere, probably explaining most of the list. China’s dismal placement at dead last is thus highly unsurprising.

xD
were is the netherlands ! we got ernesto hoost muhahah!
MALAYSIA IS NOT EVEN ON THE LIST!!!!! WTF!!!!? ಠ_ಠ
Well, we Malaysians don't get featured in the media much. Also, which Japanese would want to date a man in a sarong wielding a keris?
Fuck dude, I'd date a chick with a sword, just don't go swingin it at me.
ahaha amen to that. :D
No love for Canada. :(
D--n, there's a lot of unfounded racism against China.
What, no Canada?
This isn't surprising. It's no surprise that they would want to date other Asians, Brazil has a high Japanese or mixed Japanese population, and we all know Japan's love of white people. On Spain? Well, who doesn't love the Spanish?
canada didn't even make it ):
need a nude filler for that pic :P (heroman ROCKS)
So does anybody here have any idea whether these were the ONLY ten countries you could choose from in the poll, or is it that could you write in any country you want, like Sierra Leone or Dominica or wherever? Because if the latter was the case, it makes Brazil and China's "low" standings actually pretty good.
Too bad they don't have any interest in the Dutch.
Hetalia, anyone?
:-P
Pretty Good List, but I am amazed that many Japs would admit interest in their most hated enemy, China.
What about USA? They NUKED Japan.
We nuked imperial Japan during a war. It was a fight they started and we ended and we never raised a sword against them since.
Actually today was the 50th anniversary of the
USA-Japan treaty. Which means we've been best buds for 50 years now. Love you Japan... No I love YOU more!!!
No I love..huh...hey Japan, what are you doing with your hand?
I didn't know you felt that way about us... this is all moving so fast!
What if people see us? Oh god, you're such a nasty archipelago.
Yeah, you like that, huh? Take that western culture, Japan, just take it.
Shit, this is fun.
Nice! I'm Italian! Who is the first? [^________^]
Japan just likes tits.
The Japanese wouldn't be able to tell the difference between an American and a Canadian so I guess that makes Canada no.1!:D
Anon don't understand why Italians & UK are so popular?
Hetalia is the reason, maybe.
Actually shitload of japs visit italy to see ruins, museums and artistic places (venice, naples, rome).
So I guess part of reputation comes from there.
Japanese men see italian girls as acculturated hot chicks.
Japanese women see italian men as acculturated, nice looking and great lovers (aka Casanova).
They couldn't be further from the truth lol
USA #1 again, be it bad or good!
Spain! :D Hell yeah~
Wort choice, why would you wanna date someone from dumbfuckistan?(USA)
But US vs EU is better as USA us basically many states jut like EU is.
The good thing of being Mexican is that people out there think Mexican == Spaniard.
Which is fucking far away from the truth, but at least it gets us some ^^
Anybody living in the US that speaks Spanish, people automatically think you are from Mexico. It doesn't matter where you are from. The only thing that is different from Spain is the accent.It would be cool to mix Hispanics and Japanese.
In American they speak spanish. In Spain they speak Castilian. It's similar but there are lots of differences, appart from the accent.
Latin American culture and Spanish (Europe) culture are totally different too. For example, in America have an acentuated religion culture.
What the article doesn't say is they really just want to see if us Americans are as crazy/screwed-up as we're supposed to be. ;)
Haha, so china's number 10 eh? Not that it really matters to me since i'm dating a Japanese girl as of now, not to mention she's hot too. So screw the list, doesn't matter who you are or what race you are, as long as you got the skillz(and speaking japanese helps), you can get a japanese girlfriend or boyfriend without much trouble(tho i'm guessing there are more guys than girls in this forum)
you keep your japanese girl, I'll help myself to one of these fine, fine china..
China’s dismal placement at dead last is thus highly unsurprising.
I do believe there are more than 10 countries.
Were the jap. ppl asked 50/50 male and female ?
Actually I cannot understand how they prefer Italy over Germany. Italian guys have way shorter penises on average than we. Also they last way shorter in bed than we (according to some survey I read)
wow, some survey you read? it must be true! what a source!
Problems to admit the truth, I see. Please continue to think that way.
Call me a hater, but from what I've seen you germs...um I mean Germans look more like cattle (fat and ugly), than like humans. (I mean both men and women).
So I guess here's the answer for your question.
Besides It's not about having a 30 centimeter dick. It's about having 15 cm and knowing how to use them.
:-]
A truly hater.
It's a semi-win for me. Being half Italian.
OK Jappie you can suck my dick. But just this once, and don't tell your friends. ;)
Chances that those 2,706 ppl who voted Korea are probably housewives who watch K-dramas... :P
Hmmmm....so maybe the 2ch users don't want all Americans to die. Just the male users, so they can date our women.
they want ours, we want theirs : we could come up with something, here.
No Australia in the list? Whats wrong with us? don't they like our strange animals like the Kangaroo and Koalas anymore? :( Either that or it wasn't a choice on the list :P therefore we'd have beat US hands down ;)
(Obvious aussie troll)
because of the whale and batman vessels.
UNITED KINGDOM on this list? ROFL
Interesting.
Isn't it?
I'm betting Italy's placement has a great deal to do with Gunslinger Girl. I guess the Japanese loli and gun otaku don't understand there are no gun toting loli-cyborgs in the real life Italy.
There would be if science did its job and stopped wondering why scratching soothes and itch.
China is dead last? You realize there are more than ten countries in the world, yes?
A-bombs are sexy.
Second plece yeah japan i'm coming
So no African countries, and only one South American country, huh?
Jesus we got some angry Canadians in here or what. Dont get pissed about the US thing just wear a cap that says USA on it and youll be set. Hell sometimes i pretend im canadian when i travel abroad(ppl hate u less)
The funny thing is, Americans are bringing down the perception of Canadians around the world by doing shit under our flag like this.
no australia???
DAMN IT.
The survey in the above link is obviously untrue if you have spent a long time in Japan, it was probably conducted by some American media just like how the Hollywood movies always protrait an American man's fantasy in Asian women, but when you grow up and go to Asia, you'll find out thats not the case in the real world.
Because most East Asian women (Japan, China, Korea) are not interested in white/black men at all! You'll also seen from the interracial couples, where an Asian woman accompanying a white man, those women are usually the ugly mid-aged ones who apparently cant get a normal E. Asian BF or escort agent's hookers that cost USD$150 per hour in Shanghai?
This is the fact that many western men still deny to accept, but its the truth.
A friend of mine tends to complain that Westerners are here in Asia to steal our girls, and are successful because (1)they tend to have more money and (2)bigger dicks.
Sometimes, I can't help but agree.
But seeing that this is a poll on dating and not marrying, its only normal that you'll want to date someone who is different now and then, and not the same kind of people you see every day.
But you know, as a guy myself, I would like to date some Americans too. I know a few myself.
So much hate over one small poll -.-
Wow. I thought Japan hated US. Not that anyone is going to read this. I just skipped over the ones above. Didn't read a single one. I'm not going to appologize for it either.
You would think Brazil and China would be higher, based on the "exotic" factor.
I think USA / UK / Italy / France were voted higher because they are the most popular Nations, even if people online have junk to say about them and basically spit out every stereotype they can.
When people think of "foreigners" or "gaijin", they think of Americans first, France, then England. If Americans were to be polled online about which foreigner they would date: Russia / France / Germany / Brazil would be the highest voted.
Overall it is rather predictable when you think about it. Then you have to take exactly why people voted, are they voting for the typical Caucasian /Euro look or taking other appearances into consideration?
The UK... Yeah I really believe that! The French should be higher. :( (Everybody wants to fuck the French) True!... TRUE? :D
Chinese Girls are good if they come from the middle class side of town. The ones that are from kind of poor but still often okay side. The poorer ones like the farmers are... ridiculous at best and the well to do ones are often just as prissy if not even more than American "mean girls". If you see any girl remotely close to well dressed and in makeup, you can probably bet there is a sugar daddy somewhere or else that girl has a family that is living the high life.
I don't see my country...
I'm surprised Germans aren't higher on the list, given Japan and Germany's close ties during WW2. Not to mention, other then English, German is the language that Japanese pop culture mixes with the most (ie: Dir en Grey, the relatively common German characters anime).
No it's not german at all, it's french (there's even japanese songs in french...), german is third.
Seems very interesting especially since I'm American but ethnically Spanish, Mexican Aztec, Chinese, and French. I wonder why Mexico didn't make it. Oh well. I don't even look brown at all, anyways. (-_-)
ok first off im an american and i can tell you a couple things right now there are tons of "fat" people here tha thing is most americans call themselves fat when they are 3 pounds above the average weight of people in the entire world. second off americans dnt normally abuse their women. third off the average american man is usually bigboned so he usually looks fat when he actually has rather low fat percentage. fourth off the average american man doesn't really become obese until his mid to late 30's. fifth off the average americn is not an f***ing redneck u dumb foreighners. sixth off most american guys who would actually like a japanese girl are otaku and/or are skinny guys who love anime/manga and are often annoyed by preppy girls that live here in america. last off next time you want to insult americans get your facts straight and visit america for at least 3 years or else your going to get your ass kicked and your words force fed to you via a plastic tube in the E.R. :3 i think i proved my point so ciya nimrods
my god... what an idiotic post.
You're American, and still you write like a retard.
Either you are :
-a 12 y-old kid and thus not concerned by a "which foreigner i'd like to be fucked with" poll.
If that's the case, shut the f*** up.
-a non-american who tries to pose as one, but failing miserably to his english lessons.
If that's the case, shut the f*** up.
-a fat troll.
If that's the case .. oh well.
Not that i like Americans, but still they deserve a better representation than your crappy post.
These people are definitely confusing what they see in T.V. and movies as reality, most Americans are definitely not like that. Oh and by Americans they most likely mean Caucasians, not surprising since that's pretty much all you see in movies. Statistically speaking, most of us Americans are overweight bastards, not that I'm overweight or anything.
Regardless, I could care less what the Japanese want, my fascination with Japan is purely of the fictional world.
Guess it's all about location. I see almost no overweight people in Michigan.
I can't speak for all of America like you apparently do however.
+ Not blonde/blue eyes
+ Not overweight
+ Employed
+ Not ignorant
+ Not a redneck
It's always fun watching insecure people making excuses for other people, though.
Troll on...troll on.
So by USA do they mean anyone from the USA or the typical blond haired, blue eyed people that show up oh so frequently in anime?
Italy is 2nd?
Awesome.
WHY USA?!!?!?!?
AND WHY FRANCE?!?!!? Aren't they gay?
Exactly what kind of USA since we are all over the map when it comes to guys.
Do they mean the ones that can actually count above 10 or do they mean some hillbilly redneck who think Jesus is coming to take them away next week? But hey sweet cheeks I can be what ever you want tonight ass long as you let me inside your sweet tight pants. You can even call me Inu-yasha for all I care.
lmao,so the Japanese are still that uneducated about the Gaijin lurking out there... America is by far the worst nation one could pick her partner from ( that is if you mind people for having no culture,being fat and whatever else matters).
They must be really open minded to chose a partner from a land that bares no culture (all cultural background they have comes from Europe+Asia except the native idianic culture) and specializes having a high criminality rate and a high amount of people with guns.../swt.
I wouldn't say that in matter of fatness America is worse than Europe because here we have 50-60% rates of overweighted people as well
(however the BMI is the shit,if you are about 180 cm tall you can have a weight between like 65-85kg before you're overweight,that's like 20 kg difference between really thin and already fat,even with like 75kg I still have an enlarged belly <_< and with 85 kg I was like already fat and 60% of my people are even fatter...).
Another problem of chosing America is because the people itself are not really American but from Europe/Asia/Africa so if they'd date an American i don't see a reason why they'd rather not date Europeans/Africans/Asians instead, I don't think they want native idian boyfriends/husbands...
About the UK/Italy-votes, I think they are more commonly know and that's why they seem more popular than other countries...
However,the Spain-votes surprised me, I don't know why but somehow Spain seems to be popular in Japan, I'd still wish they'd prefer Germany more (although most guys (aged 12-28) over here nowadays are just birdbrained alcoholics or even more birdbrained foreigners with a vocabulary of like 500 words max...
Well, since I prefer Korean women over Japanese I don't care about that though,it may be for the best that some details about our country remain unbeknownst to girls from other countries xD
Why Italy 2nd? Because Italy is the main country for japanese tourists...
I'm amazed that China, Brazil and Korea made the list despite all the racism there.
"Hi, i'm Duke: you wanna feel my Big Boy"
theres way to many race in usa to call say "usa" only. i think japanese womens would like to date some "black" or "white" guy, not american. cuz im a american and im fken chinese(not my choice to be born chinese) -.-
I know Japanese Women would love Filipino Men (80's above.)
USA xD i gotta laugh
yeah a country that don't hate us (do a happy dance)some thing's i like to say about the comments. 1) sorry Canada and Australia I think we may of over shadow you tow but you tow are our sister country's and we share a unique culture (thanks to England help raising us up for better or for worst) so let's not fight. 2) we got a lot of fat people here but some girl’s don’t mind a heavy set guy’s and a lot of guy’s do like fat girl’s so it really does not matter unless your shallow . (and for every fat person there’s one or tow thin people) 3) the thing about America we got EVERY type of person here of every race so saying what a American look like is next to imposable (and it is hard for both American’s and Canadian’s to tell one another apart) 4) why it all about money or look’s maybe they like and crazy loud overbearing personalities at lest where fun :P
8 of 10 are westerners ..
I am surprised at the sheer amount of trolls and arguments that have broken out in this one section. I am also surprised my country took the top spot. More so the amount of trolls and fights, though.
The colombians no appears in the list ;(
Does vampire counts as a nationality?
chinese american! im at the top and bottom of the list!
You're bound to find an ass you want to tap in the US. Whatever you're looking for, we got.
In the end we all lose, if we are not caucasian...
Poland is forgotten :)
This list is bogus, how can Germany, France and the UK be on here and not that tiny country between them?
I'm sort of surprised that USA is first, but the rest is sort of what I expected (OK maybe swap France and UK around :P)
... I guess the poll results were predictable enough.
>No Mexico
Feels bad hombre
Por mí está bien, en todo el mundo piensan que México y España son lo mismo ^^
Wow,so I WAS right!
Ha! Awesome!
