A survey of Japanese men and women reveals just what qualities it is they seek from a prospective husband or wife; the results may very well not be surprising…
1. Stable work
2. Kindness
3. Desires children
4. Health
5. Compatibility with your parents
6. Good at housework
7. Saves money
8. Is serious
9. Independent from his parents and family
10. Possesses fortitude
The survey’s wording is too polite to say “he has lots of money” (although other surveys are not so circumspect), so it is reasonable to equate this to the “stable job” requirement.
1. Kindness
2. Good at housework
3. Desires children
4. Understanding about your work
5. Understanding about your hobbies
6. Healthy
7. Compatibility with your parents
8. Calm
9. Possesses fortitude
10. Doesn’t interfere all the time
Leaving aside the desire for a reasonable personality shared by both sexes, quite a gulf between the expectations of the sexes is evident, with women rather concerned with what their partner will do for them in material terms, and men apparently more concerned with what they can avoid having done to them by their partner.
For Men:
Kindness
Healthy

Ok I’ve got it all figured out….I’m never fucking going to japan EVER!
10: Because no one wants to be called while they’re working (unless it’s an emergency, which is why you pay attention to the evil Overlord/Empress’ list: never shoot down the messenger).
7: Because on a personal reason, I suck with money. So I wouldn’t mind someone who is good with it.
4 and 5: Who wouldn’t want someone in that department? If you want of all people your wife/hubby busting your balls because of the job you like and the things you do to keep stable.
1: That’s a given. We all want someone to love us.
Everything else: …Friggin’ stereotype wishing.
I get a feeling most of the men interviewed are pussies at best, and most of the women….well they are traditional to say the least.
I won’t say much since America has the same problem. But yea at the rate they are going, the Japanese are definitely going to have outsource their sex escapades, because the only thing they seem to hate more than anything else is each other.
Man… how boring. Both men and women seem to only be thinking about a gray and comfortably uneventful family routine until the end of their days. Where’s sense of humour? shared interests? Romance, adventure and fun?
Those come in your relationships before marriage 😀
Bullshit. No wonder so many people don’t want to marry these days.
