80% of Japanese women agree that is only proper that the man confess his undying love to them and not them to he, whilst a near majority expected an accompanying token of his affection in the form of flowers or something shiny and precious.
The survey itself covered single employed Japanese women aged 21-34.
When asked “Do you want the man to make a confession of love to you? Or would you like to confess to him?” an overwhelming 77% of these women wanted the man to confess to them and only 2% would want to confess themselves.
Possibly this insistence on being asked out is the reason only 33% of women questioned reported being asked out in the last year.
When asked out, there appear to be a few aces prospective suitors can play – women asked “When he confesses his love to you, is there anything a man can give you which will make you unthinkingly answer ‘yes’?” gave a number of suggestions; 46% said a bouquet of flowers, 43% a ring, 28% “accessories,” 22% a necklace and 16% a watch.
The florist industry’s marketing efforts seem to have done their job; women asked about their preference for flowers gave such responses as “I’d be more concerned if he gave a gift which was too expensive” and “Because it conveys a sentiment mere money can’t express.”
In sum, for Japanese women at least it appears only a flower or ring wielding man asking them out on bended knee is the proper way to start a relationship – little wonder so many are single.
I get that this survey is only asking if the women would [b]prefer[/b] to be asked out by men or ask out men but I find giving gifts to people just to have success confessing to them a bit outrageous…
Yes, this survey’s results have made it easier to invest in this but I just don’t personally see myself giving a girl I am confessing to anything until I know she is the 1…
That being said, I really need her to confess to me so that I can see her as someone who actually wants to be my companion, & if not, then as I am not confessing to any women ever…no harm done as I will simply stay single in that case which is just fine to me…
ehhhhh
would it be cool if they just go to a honeymoon or sight seeing and stuff. giving flowers is good but nothing beats by going with your GF to different places 🙂
Well I’m a girl and I asked my bf out :3
Japanese girls should learn it’s the way forward because it means you actually get the one you want ><
NOTE: Probably 70% of that 80% of women would say “Kimoi”, and think the guy is a weirdo if he confessed his love on one knee with a bouquet of flowers.
If I have learned anything about women through my experiences, it is that they have no fucking clue what they want. Their likes, dislikes, and reasoning skills are completely dependent on what mood they are in that day.
@All of the dumbasses who think women are only interested in their wallets. That’s not true. Some of us just want a good cook… Yep. Those are my standards. Oh, and a nice ass doesn’t hurt either~
