Japanese men asked what profession they would most like to date give a rather depressing but not altogether unexpected list of costume fetishes and sexual fantasies, in stark contrast to the female list of glamourous top earners…
1. Model
2. Nurse
3. Stewardess
4. Entertainer
5. Childcare worker
6. Beautician
7. Seiyuu
8. Fashion related
9. Doctor
10. Hostess
Fortunately, “schoolgirl” appears not to have been a choice. The least sought after were politicians, IT workers and consultants, along with any other positions of power, wealth or authority.
Just as women were most interested in the top earners, it seems men have an even more focused interest in the professions they perceive as more attractive, which is precisely the cleft in preferences predicted in most sociological research…
what is 7 it says Seiyuu??
They seem to be influenced too much by anime/games xD
There are no signs of houseworker/teacher/cook and other “normal” jobs for women,most of them are related to acting/modelling which should be desired least because the women have too many males contacts/friends and no freetime for actual daily life that a married couple should have (not enough contact is not good and leads to divorces >_> especially doctors/nurses/models/stewardesses have many overtime hours/night shifts/trips so they are less likely to become a good wife… except if they give up their job when they marry)
Is housewife not a profession? Too bad ladies….
Housewife is not a profession because women normally aren’t already married when they leave school and move out, so they have to find a job somewhere.I think you might mean a similar job like maid/housekeeper or maybe you want to hint at divorced/widowed housewives. Fact is, however, that Japanese women, still at a high rate, give up their jobs when they mary,bear children and raise them until they’re old enough to work/study and then start to work again, so there might be no housewives since all these professions will be exchanged for the new profession : housewife sooner or later 🙂
Hostess and Seiyu FTW 🙂
Model an Entertainer? I don’t think these guys thought this through. Well, at least for me, dating a Model or Seiyuu would be very stressing: always being mindful of where you let yourself be seen with her, how you look next to her, learning to ignore other males that lust after her or badmouth her. [If I were dating Hirano Aya I would probably hate SC lol]
Same with the Entertainer and Hostess, I know I would have to put a lot of effort into getting used to the fact that my girlfriend takes off her clothes in front of other men or otherwise plays with their lust as her job.
Knowing a handful of childcare workers myself, I know they can be very sweet and patient, but I can’t help wonder if these men aren’t mistaking roles here? I know sweetness and innocence score a lot of points with japanese men, bit if I were dating a childcare worker I wouldn’t expect her to treat me as sweetly as she treats the children under her care, they’re still adults, and rarely are adults all smiles and hugs.
