A survey of Japanese men reveals that most spurn sexually assertive women, with many thought instead to hanker after the mythical innocent and passive Japanese maidens of legend.
The survey, conducted by a marriage consultation agency, asked what men thought of “carnivorous” women, women who are prepared to take an active role in finding sexual partners, as opposed to the “herbivorous” men the Japanese mass media increasingly frets about.
The number one response was “depressing” with 27%. Next was “I’d like to socialise with one” with 22%. However, a meagre 3% wanted to marry one, 9% thought them “lascivious” and a further 6% found them irritating.
A variety of other responses were registered, and in total 53% of respondents held negative opinions of such assertive women.
A man surveyed explains that men seek “virginal” women, rather than ones who think often of men: “However old she is, unfortunately men just want an innocent woman.”

It might be hoped that the half of men willing to tolerate assertive women are the ever more common and ever less assertive “herbivorous” men, but the evidence seems not to support this…
the jap man, lacks balls, The giant Americans Took it away when we nuked them, twice. No guns in jap, no knives, and no agression. I hope china attempts to invade to force the jap males balls to drop once again…
ah how lovely, in my country most girls are virgin, MOST of them..than that means a LOT of beautiful virgins here…well i am looking for japanese tough, but getting one of those beautiful virgin is fine too
know seriously i dont get it…in animes u rarely find a strong male lead sometimes…soo what its liek y’all putting down ur own standards..
Hmm nearly all anime girls are assertive due to useless male lead. It may not be popular with general men but asertive women is definitely popular within Otakus.
I don’t think the reason behind this thinking is “Men want virgins because they lack confidence.” More like “A man wants a woman to belong to him and ONLY him.”
A woman losing her virginity to you doesn’t mean she belongs to you FFS.
