Top 10 Types of Guy You’d Like to Date – 2011

kimono-otoko-no-ko-by-kasukabe-akira.jpg

Men hoping Japanese women will appreciate their sensitive natures and caring side can forget it – a ranking of the preferences of women seems to suggest most would rather be ravished by a carnivore…

The ranking, and corresponding votes:

1. A “carnivorous” guy (3289)

2. A jock (1769)

3. A megane guy (1091)

4. A science guy (719)

5. A herbivorous guy (706)

6. An omnivorous guy (642)

7. Otomen [“a girlish boy”] (607)

8. A bento boy [a miser] (427)

9. A literary guy (199)

10. A mori guy [“forest”/”outdoors” guy] (171)

The recipe for success amongst the women of Japan thus appears to be a womanising doctor with bulging biceps and a white coat and glasses.

The previous edition of the same survey unsurprisingly shows similar results – although otaku have lost even the dismal position they suffered there, now being displaced entirely by a bunch of anorak wearing hikers.

    Wow while #2 is not unexpected some of the others are kinda odd. WTF #8?!

    It's one of the vaguer media concoctions. The Japanese Wikipedia describes it as sort of a health/economy minded bachelor who makes his own bento for lunch at work.

    The Japs have a name for everything.

    This IS the same country that gave us "zetai ryoko".

    Figures.

    But I'm surprised that a megane guy is up there. I mean, guys with glasses are only good looking in animes. IRL, eh...

    Exactly. Megane guys in anime are cute. IRL they are ew.

    Glasses today are on the level of fashion accessories... sure, if you wear old fashion glasses it makes you look "ew".

    Though this may imply the fact that, as they wear glasses, chances are the guy may be a hard working fellow thus have lots of $$?

    Or that he is simply smart.

    Otherwise, I guess aside from looking cool, it would be almost on the same level as a guy saying "I want to date a girl that wears a ribbon"-- take off the accessory and you're no go. That's ridiculous!

    If you wear glasses and they stand out so much that you are referred to as a "megane guy," then yeah, you must be pretty ew.

    "Bento boy" means "miser"? Because they make their own lunches?

    What's "omnivorous"? Fucks everything he sees?

    Well, remember the girl controls all the income. So, if they get a guy that spends as little as possible, there will be more money left for their shoes and purses.

    Interesting list, but unless Japanese females are substantially biologically different from women outside of Japan, the most predominant feature that will get you a date is always 'confidence'.

    Women like men that know who they are and what they are and what they want. Women won't touch you if you lack self confidence, regardless of your other qualities.

    It's true when they say that within the first five minutes of meeting you, women will know if they are going to fuck you or not. I think Chris Rock said that...

    Even if women did all the fucking work they wouldn't get rejected. They are WOMEN. Men are on this planet for entertainment if a woman so desires it. If you aren't entertaining, you get rejected. If you don't have confidence and are a whiny little bitch you get rejected. If you tell women what they should like instead of understanding what they actually like, you'll get rejected.

    You can always turn to Islam if you want to get 12 year old without trying. You can even do it when your 50 and balding.

    Women of all ages like one things that I have come to expect. $$$$$$$, confidence does not hurt but who the hell has $$$$$$ and no confidence?

    As for me I take it as it comes, if you will not suck me well maybe your sister will its not like we are running out of women any time soon.

    Hell just order up some sweet stuff from a catalog just make sure you have plenty of $$$$$$.

    True, confidence *can* make the difference if a chick is undecided about any other factors, but generally, confidence can't fix ugly. I've been approached and propositioned by many a 'confident' ugly guy, and honestly, it just makes them look uglier.

    Know your limits (especially if you're shapeless and stink), and don't punch above your weight, is the lesson there.

    "Confidence" is the same as being a jock, just show who is on top (figuratively) and she will bow to your desires (The Ministry of Health warns: this is a unproven method and may lead to unwanted side-effects including broken nose, crushed testicles and death)

    Wanting a masculine man instead of a whiny, unassertive wuss has nothing to do with wanting an asshole who fucks and chucks.

    Comment by Anonymous

    and yet 90% of my female friends date assholes like me who do just that, what they want has nothing to do with anything, its what they do that counts.

    and what most women do is fuck hot bad boys that they somehow think they can "change".

    any girl that stupid deserves to be fucked beaten and ultimately left behind for a hotter bitch.

    I'm sure they are just settling for you.

    They would most probably prefer a incredibly handsome incredibly desirable pheromone blast charisma guy such as myself*, it's just that they are unable to obtain such a guy, so they settle for a guy such as you.

    *one that will willingly expend the effort to actually look at them and hold their hand in public of course.

    Women like assholes, plain and simple. You hearing this ladies?

    -You can't change assholes
    -They aren't hurting inside
    -The probably don't love you
    -When they hit you, that means you should leave
    -They will probably dump you

    That should be in "Top 10 Guys You'd Like To Marry".

    For this date ranking, it's a sampling to try different types of guys since they're gonna dump you anyway.

    Kinda like how you'd like to date a dumb blonde for kicks so you can brag about it with the guys but you wouldn't want to get stuck with her for life, now would you? :3

    @Knets: Your awesome level is over 9000.

    'Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor.

    My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I’m not wasting time here.

    From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you.

    The answer is very simple, so let me explain.

    Put the details aside, what you’re trying to do is an exchange of “beauty” and “money” : Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.

    However, there’s a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason.

    The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can’t be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It’s not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later.

    By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a “trading position”.

    If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term – same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or “leased”.

    Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you.'

    "but you can’t be prettier year after year."
    I disagree with that sentiment, but then again I have a thing for hot older women. It is just difficult to know if the lady in question will get hotter or uglier with age, looking at her relatives will provide clues, presuming they are healthy and not ugly only because of some bad habit or several.
    Some women irrefutably look way hotter the older they get: compare Tina Turner when she was 20 with when she was 40. The latter is way better, and for someone who is 60+ she looks surprisingly good.
