Japanese seem to overwhelmingly agree that the most important thing in a marriage (leaving aside the insignificant matter of “love”) is that their partner has lots of cash.
The ranking, which, it should be noted, carefully dodged the question of where “love” would end up in the list by phrasing the question “Other than love, what is indispensable to a marriage?”
1. Your partner’s economic power (10883)
2. An impetus (6059)
3. Your own economic power (2939)
4. A proposal (2157)
5. A long period of dating (822)
6. Haste brought on by age (507)
7. Fear of becoming stuck in a rut (464)
8. Pressure from others (306)
Japanese marriage at times appears more akin to a wasp seeking out a juicy caterpillar in which to lay her eggs than any sort of romantic (or even economic) partnership.
Little wonder marriage rates are so low, with women demanding high salaries of their prospective husbands and men finding wages and job security significantly lower than in previous generations.

It really depends on who you marry. Some women will work and help keep the money together, while others laze around, do nothing, and want the world in a bottle at your expense. I personally, would rather stay single and die single if love means I have to submit to some bitch who wants everything from me in a silver platter.
spoken like a real man Yakomo :)
I agree Its better to be single than to bein a bad relationship.
Some (a few) women will work and help keep the money together, while others (most) laze around, do nothing
Some will just keep the money.
with a women like that there is no love
Women who want to work is almost as bad as woman who laze around. My girlfriend makes 1/2 my salary. Her time and effort would be best utilized cooking, cleaning, and shopping, instead of bringing home a measly salary of which we spend half eating take-out and shopping in convenience stores.
While greedy women who want to laze around the house should gtfo, a solid or stable economic state is important for a marriage; ideally from both sides. That is a truth nobody can deny; it goes beyond pure greed, but actually supporting each other to live comfortably.
yeah and when times get tough you cut and run...
sry... no.
You can't afford your life with only a meager of salary, not enough with a wife + children ( plus Doujinshi and Anime-related stuffs around +_+ )
"Japanese seem to overwhelmingly agree that the most important thing in a marriage is that their partner has lots of cash."
Not just japaneses my good sir, oh no no.
This is life unfortunately, 3D life to be precise
And my mission is to seek the legendary gate of 2D a world where you fall off a building and all you'll need are bandages
and whens yous finds it take me with yous!!!
Yeah, it speaks the truth as we are now
Not only in Japan, but everywhere in the modern world needs 'MONEY'
So, what should we do to afford the MONEY ?
Well, China may have the money, but that's because you're trading your health for the money. You may get your money, but expect your baby born with at least two diseases and perhaps a mutant arm.
I said a mutant arm... not a chin fist.
hell yea, maybe in my life time a monster girl will be of age to have sex and just be attracted enough to me to fuck.
its not much, but its the only prospect of a mutant being born that keeps me form offing myself sometimes.
You are what you eat, so they're practically mutants if you consider some of those sorry-excuse-for-a-meal consumed by the population.
Of course, you can't base an entire nation's diet on one incident, but (if) it's been happening across multiple provinces and isolated areas with (god knows) how many bowls of wastes consumed, the next generations look very bleak.
The fact they're still walking around and not in ICU or treated for an unknown disease (or at the morgue), they're either a medical miracle or were witnessing evolution in a sad way....
Move to China. They're the new economic power. You didn't think they would be to people that just made cheap stuff forever did you?
Well, China is developing really fast. Especially its economy and its military force. But I wouldn't go that far to say that they GOT the money, the society still have more poor people compared to the rest of the world. But, in the future, they will become more powerful.
And this is the reason why that war might occur in the near future, we can't say.
Sex must not be a big part of Marriage with Impotence #2
eight legged could turn out to be a spider girl.
those mutant people may one day develop in a way where the 4 arms or multiple legs are normal.
"...China may have the money..."
China's average income per capita is still lower than Latin America's. I'm sure some places in China [Hong Kong. Shanghai] fare better on that scale, but in general, chinese people are still poor.
So you meant "mutant" in a good way, instead of something like the eight-legged girl in India...
@Alidan
What's wrong with getting a whore? Beats having sex with a less-than-average girl.

i want you to google monster girl and look at the images, any you will have a better understanding of what i said.
a whore is still a normal human
Yeah, Fallout dude, and the mutant @New Vegas Rules ;p
Really, who doesn't want to be Chuck Norris?
IMO, I think having a mutant arm would be pretty awesome. Just not the diseases too.
Money is important for any marriage, but it doesn't mean the man should bring the cash and the female watch the TV.
I mean, I could even accept such a relationship, but she would have to be hot(ter than the average) and I would be very bossy about stuff.
Then again, it's better to be poor and have love isn't it. I like my girlfriend, especially because we're both simple people.
@15:38
So true so true. We're poor as shit but my girl and I have been together for 11 years now. As long as you love each other, everything else works itself out.
That being said, we like to spend our extra money on games, manga, anime, movies. When you have love AND shared interests, can't beat it.
marriage is about teamwork for a common goal.
If that's true, then she's a gem. Don't lose her.
You guys are a beacon of hope.
I hope you won't lose each other cuz it sounds like you've really managed a real find that money will never compensate for.
Interests change; love has to be renewed once every few months or else it'll disappear without exceptions. This is pure biology.
If you're extremely lucky or work very hard for it, you might have a happy relationship until the end. Just don't count on it - relationships tend to involve a lot of chaotic variables, many of which you can't affect.
"...love has to be renewed once every few months or else it'll disappear without exceptions. This is pure biology..."
You are mistaking 'Love' with 'Romance'. Romantic feelings are the ones that vanish eventually, and they can last between a few days to some years, but the chemical component in the brain always fades away.
However, after romance fades the next strongest feeling is an attachment from learning to spend your life together with another person, similar to fraternal love which is different from romance, because it doesn't matter how much time goes by, losing a parent, sibling or son/daughter always hurts like all hells.
Fraternal Love is what long marriages live from.
one aspect of true love is both have something in common.
Don't japanese women have like half the average salary of men? Could explain quite a bit.
It's the other way around - they work on their salary because they plan on leeching off their boyfriends. In general, that is.
"1. Your partner’s economic power (10883)"
when your homeland's economy has been lagging for the past 20+ years this doesn't come as a shock being wealthy becomes the "it" thing or w/e you calls it
I suppose that's certainly true. I know I, for one, could not afford both kids and anime/manga/games. In need of more money for sure.
2D is cheaper...
it depends... does she have a hug pillow?
marriage is obsolete.
THANK YOU...
YOUR WELCOME...
true that,
I keep changing from one imoto to another too often to be able to commit myself to one. There is always another imoto waiting to come out that I would like to marry
alright, who saw this coming.
i think if both partners are in a more stable economy and are really working hard they shouldn't have any problems in their relationship, however since times are constantly changing finding a really good job is hard nowadays not to mention japan at it's current state are having economic problems.
solution? stick to you 2D's as much as possible but then again real love beats any 2D as much as i hate to say it.
no sir, you got it wrong.
2d > 3d.
even most of (japanese) women already acknowledged that.
unless you're talking about uber-hot pornstars/models, then -maybe- I'd agree.
yeah but 2d doesn't age and aging changes things
That's a given. But weak people are afraid of dying alone, hence the down-votes.
