Japanese asked what sort of boy or girlfriend they would be aghast at their children bringing home gave an interesting if unsurprising set of answers…
The unwelcome boyfriend ranking:
1. He’s violent
2. He’s a violent drunk
3. He’s in debt
4. He likes gambling
5. He is prone to adultery
6. He has a tattoo
7. He has no fixed income
8. He’s a NEET
9. He has a bad personality
10. He can’t greet people properly
Almost two thirds of the respondents were female, possibly explaining the preoccupation with material wealth…
The unwelcome girlfriend ranking:
1. She’s in debt
2. She’s a violent drunk
3. She likes gambling
4. She’s violent
5. She has a bad personality
6. She has a tattoo
7. She is prone to adultery
8. She has no manners
9. She has no common sense
10. She can’t greet people properly
Poor potential daughter-in-laws are acceptable however…
In both cases a relatively relaxed attitude towards otaku was evident though – an otaku boyfriend was ranked 22nd, whilst a fujoshi girlfriend came dead last at 30; although the fact they were even included in the ranking says something…

What, there's no "He's a foreigner" category?
doesn't happen enough to be a consideration i take it.
The person may not be a violent drunk at first but he could turn.My dad is one and it worries me.
"She cant greet people properly"
My mother is really harsh on this one :D
"9. She has no common sense"
lol women
I agree with anon here - if you go with #9 for woman, your never going to date (what woman has common sense?)
All the one's YOU don't know.
Is being handicapped on the lists? What if you bring someone of the same sex? Different religion? Skin color? etc.
Number 6 for the guys is a damn lie.
Bitches love a guy with tattoos...
Bitches do, but women don't.
In Japan, tattoos on a guy probably means he's a yakuza.
I have a tattoo. Fuck that shit! I think I'm a fairly good person. Most of the time...
But not ALL the time.
Oh great, I'm only #8. Things are looking up!
shit,
im 7, 8, and 10.......
You gotta learn some manners then and be polite.
Hmm, in our school's yearbook I was the #1 person not to present to your adults. However, I have not even one the above traits. Okay, okay, I didn't have income in school and maybe for #9 describes me. But I think if I had FULFILLED #2 some might have liked me...
the japanese are really weird what kind of children are they talking about O.o
I'm surprised "foreigner" isn't on that list as #1.
I get the feeling part of that is thanks to Yon-sama. When I spent a year studying abroad in Korea, the Korean language school that was a part of the same college seemed to consist mostly of Japanese women.
"8. He’s a NEET"
It doesn't make any sense.
Can a NEET go to someone's home?
You're confusing NEET's with Hikkikomori. It's different things.
NEET=Not Employed, Educated, or in Training.
Hikkikomori=Recluse who never leaves home.
Alright, NEETs not looking to bad at number 8.
moar stupid top 10 lists please moar!
I'm surprised that adultery ranks so low.
It's obvious the respondants were given choices to rank rather than give unique responces, though. Makes it less interesting.
User responses just don't work in these kind of surveys, as you end up with as many responses as users.
You can't show users what the popular choices are without prejudicing the results, and merging the results manually is rather fraught too.
A reasonable compromise.
Were there thirty choices, or did they only announce the top thirty?
im surprised foreigners arent on the list
i'm surprise no one said an otaku.
Probably because otakus won't have a girl/boyfriend to begin with..
i love a girl with tattoos so take that off the list
I love how being a violent drunk places lower for men than just being plain violent.
lol 1 to 10 are just funney
#9 on 2nd list relates to all women.
Most of the male traits seem to describe criminals. Violent, tattoos (sign of yukaza in Japan), gambling, debts, no fixed income...
And not the female traits?
well if you think about it, its gonna make the world implode for being beyond the impossible. And if it did its either the kid(regardless gender) will follow the path of mom or dad... unless he follows both and become the ultimate fan of infinite proportions.
omg,that's just hilarious xD
Well, seen from a mans side, I think a woman should never get drunk in a mans presence... that alone is disgraceful enough, but being a violent drunk is even worse.
I don't know, however, if violent means behaving violent (like shouting, throwing/destroying things when angered) or actual use of violence against living beings (animals (including human beings)/plants). Everyone should let his stress out somehow,and some people are born with a temper(like me),who,however, never use actual violence against anything except objects.Even a women should shout if she's angered with the mans behaviour instead of
seperating/committing adultery/etc...
Tattooes and piercings are even worse and I don't know why being a drug addict isn't in the list(like smoking/drinking/taking other drugs),it seems that it doesn't matter although those people are mentally unstable/weakwilled and are far worse than NEETs/Otakus to have as a partner.
Having no manners isn't that bad if he/she's a good spouse/father/mother, the only bad thing is being a disgrace for ignoring common sense/manners(especially table manners, I know what I'm talking about since some of my relatives do that on a regular base <_<) that correlates with having a bad personality much more than with having bad manners(which should include the proper greetings,of course)...
Shoot, I completely forgot about Fault until that headline image! Did the anime happen yet?
It did.
Ah. Gaijins didn't make the list? So we still have a chance, I see:D
The list would have been too PC to have something like that on it, though I doubt "gaijin" would rate highly as a negative.
japanese violent drunk girls ? can't imagine that...
The unwelcome girlfriend still sounds like a good time to me.
Sounds like something you can hear from MTV's Parental Control..
Has a tattoo? Wtf? A number 6 on both lists? Now that's just messed up. Why the hell should that matter?
It shows that they don't care how they look.
Do these lists look familiar and extremely similar?
The girlfriend with no common sense is probably common enough, and they're not all blondes...
I'm surprised that there is no "she is ugly" or "she is 3D" on that list
"He/She has a tattoo." Seriously? Ignore the fact that the person would have a great personality and probably looks good just because they have a tattoo?
Your question was answered above. It's the culture.
