Top 10 Foreigners Japanese Want to Date

usa-tank-top-bikini-joey-jones-lina-davis-by-atma.jpg

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.

    "Japanese understanding of barbarian races tends to be closely tied to the same sort of pervasive media stereotypes seen elsewhere"

    If this were true it would be females drooling over the French guys because of Paris Syndrome.
    And the fact that most Europeans are viewed as barbarians.

    Wow, nice to see all the non-Americans posting about Americans like they know what they're talking about. If you've never actually been here, here's a protip: most Americans are NOT like the jackass tourists you see in your country's major cities.

    Although Americans are, as a whole, overweight, the law of averages (you know that thing you learned in high school but always forget when you go on racist, xenophobic rants) will tell you a large number of Americans are not obese. Nor are even a majority of Americans "rednecks". Most Americans live in the big cities, and are hence fairly cosmopolitan.

    Just like you don't like it when your country's worst scumbags are used to represent all of you, we don't like it much either.

    American men are always the top desired foreigner. That's because American men are used to spoiling their women. Hell, even the british women want to date American men because of how Americans treat their women. American men don't even believe in beating their women when they've been bad, and don't expect them to cook worth a shit, the dumb bastards.

    I actually don't think it's that outrageous. Americans run the whole gamut of being extremely obese and out of shape to the most fit people you can find. America runs the gamut pretty much. So in a sense, both the negative and positive stereotypes are 50% true.

    It's like this, Americans are hot in Japanese manga and anime, but real life is a completely different story. Their concepts are warped by Japanese media, probably as much as weabos' are warped with Japanese society. Both are a lot different in reality. Two examples i get off the top of my head, ai yori aoshi with the American girl, and for manhwa as well, even the koreans sense is warped, you could say Unbalance x unbalance, and in both cases the American characters are far more appealing. Countless other examples throughout eastern cultures, we are just as the other end of the spectrum mostly being western looking at the eastern.

    go read a history book about war and find out when exactly america decided to join the fight before prattling on about how mighty you are. and pick a dictionary up while you're at it, and possibly a law book too and read up on civil rights while you're at it. american civil rights only apply to american governed lands and not the countries outside of it. also, i've seen some pretty basic liberties being violated in the us as of late so i don't think you should be passing judgement on others at this juncture... just a suggestion...

    It isn't really all that shocking. If you'd order this list by recognition in the Japanese consciousness, it'd be pretty similar. What stands out though:
    1) Italy and Brazil score higher than expected. I presume this is because their sexy alluring image.
    2) The fellow Asian countries score low. But we all know why that is.
    In other words, these statistics aren't surprising. Also, a nitpick: China only scored so low because people were limited to these 10 countries. If the choices would have been free, I wonder what the ranking of, say, Lichtenstein would have been?

    ...It's a top 10. Meaning there was a whole load of countries, but these are the top ones.

    Lichtenstein? some random Euro nation whose existence doesn't really matter economically and politically to the world. Can't even see it on the map.

    Lichtenstein runs europe. It isn't pretty well known, but that is part of it's plan to take over the world. Read wiki;

    "is one of the few countries in the world with more registered companies than citizens"

    "Recently, Liechtenstein has shown strong determination to prosecute international money-launderers and has worked to promote the country's image as a legitimate finance center."

    Didn't you read the post you responded to? He said:

    "... if you'd order this list by recognition in the Japanese consciousness..."

    If Lichtenstein was an option, it wouldn't make it on the list simply because many (most?) Japanese people don't know of it's existence or at least haven't formed any image of its peoples 'hotness' - thus making it an unlikely choice to pick.

    If you go onto the site, (google translate if you cant understand like me lol) recipients chose whatever country they could think of (no criteria) in the order of 10, whats here is basically a semi- difinitive list.
