A survey revealing 50% of Japanese women quizzed believed that there are interests which disbar even a hot guy from romantic consideration – and that all of the most despised of these relate to anime, managing to displace even the likes of “lolicon,” “prostitution” and “gambling” from the top spots – has been inflaming opinion online as usual.
The ranking, with comments from the several hundred females surveyed:
1. Anime
“It just has always had a strong association with ‘otaku’ so it’s totally unacceptable.” – 34-year-old woman
“I don’t normally watch anime so I can’t imagine we could have anything to talk about. Even if he was hot, if we have nothing to talk about…” – 26-year-old woman
“This just leaves a childish impression.” – 24-year-old woman
2. Bishoujo figures
“You’d just be grossed out to go in a hot guy’s room and see he has figures of girls in there!” – 25-year-old woman
“If he likes anime or whatever I guess that’s OK, but it’s creepy to display figures like that.” – 27-year-old woman
3. Gambling
“Guys into betting may well be in debt.” – 29-year-old woman
4. Idols
“If he weren’t spending that much on it I could live with it, but these guys have a reputation for endlessly spending their money on this stuff…” 23-year-old woman
“You can’t help but think any guy who likes idols is an Akiba-type.” – 24-year-old woman
5. Lolicon
“I’m not going with anyone with special sexual fetishes.” – 26-year-old woman
“Even if he isn’t doing anything suspect, this is just incomprehensible!” – 30-year-old woman
6. Crossdressing
“Even a hot guy is out if he’s into this stuff!” – 32-year-old
7. Porn collecting
“If he has a few books I don’t care, but if he had a lot it is gross!” – 26-year-old woman
8. Trains
“I’ve heard these people spend money on train sets and photography. And a lot of them are very passionate about their interests.” – 29-year-old woman
9. Insect collecting
“Keeping and rearing insects is just gross!” – 25-year-old woman
10. Prostitution
“Sometimes there are guys who treat this as a hobby, but I can’t tolerate it!” – 30-year-old woman
Aside from the obvious question of how the results would have differed had the word “hot” been replaced with “rich,” the loathing with which many Japanese women single out otaku-related hobbies has many men on the defensive:
“They really hate anime more than gambling? Seriously now?”
“Since when are prostitutes a hobby?”
“Who even cares what hobbies bother some 34-year-old woman.”
“And isn’t lolicon a sexual disposition rather than an interest or hobby?”
“Glad I’m not a hoy guy. Let me get back to watching anime now.”
“Honestly, how can any woman really be more bothered about a hot guy being interested in trains or beetles than him frequenting brothels all the time?”
“What is wrong with catching insects!”
“There is unexpected toleration for lolicon… and anime is really worse than this?”
“Can it you old hags. Young women these days are all watching anime.”
“Sorry, I have figures on display and I like anime.”
“BBAs are below these hobbies anyway.”
“Figures are out, lucky I only have dakimakura isn’t it!”
“They are just insulting hobbies they refuse to accept. If they were confronted with Gackt’s love of Gundam they would soon change their tune.”
“Gaming isn’t in there for some reason…”
“Apart from eroge and MMO obsessives everyone plays games these days.”
“Blame smartphone casual games.”
“Even with no offensive hobbies an ugly guy has no chance.”
“Even with girls, someone with no otaku-type interests is bound to be boring to talk to.”
“3D can go to hell.”
“I’m just glad I’m ugly so none of this applies to me!”
“Conclusion: 2D >>> 3D”

2D accepts you just the way you are.
2D doesn't really even know that you exist tho.
2D can't even 'know'.
Yeah, retarded hahahHaha
Trains should be above anime.
What are these bunch of child toys for anyway?
Compare a hot guy watching Black Lagoon with a hot guy sitting on the ground adjusting some rails.
To a woman that isn't into anime nor trains, I'd imagine that _both_ of those would seem rather childish. And I'd imagine that it wouldn't particularly matter which one is quote-unquote more childish than the other. If she doesn't share that same taste, then it's meaningless to her.
Now, on the other hand, if she has even the slightest inclination towards anime, then that might take a difference. Then she might want to go with anime-guy over train-guy, depending on how much she shares his tastes. It just depends on the woman in question.
In all seriousness. Gambling should be at the top. Of the list.
True that.
All of the others can actually qualify as normal hobbies.
How exactly do lolicon and prostitution qualify as hobbies, let alone normal ones?
They are more common than you think.
im lolicon for example. but no not 3D i love 2D lolis and im a fucking loli hobbist...
I have a lot of loli figures, loli dakimakura, loli posters, loli games and blablabla. IS a hobby.
Unlike certain hypocrites who won't admit to their natural desires, I think prostitution is alright.
As long as the women selling the service are doing it out of their free will and their patrons respect the women's rights and privileges outside their jobs, there should be nothing wrong about paid sex.
In fact, I have far more respect and admiration for prostitutes than razorblade bitches who play with your feelings and promise you Heaven; prostitutes have the balls to be upfront about who they are and what they want while simultenously risking their lives via HIV and violent murderous men.
I would like to mix those two hobbies...
spending your life savings on idols is not a hobby, its a sickness. =p
just idols? surely you mean "spending your life savings on women is not a hobby, its a sickness"
Whether figures, anime, porn, or an actual gf you're all spending it on 'women'.
I think idols are a better investment than random old hags. Not only they're hotter, you can probably resell your stuff after you get bored of one. Old hags will take away half or more of your money if you try to get rid of them.
second, first should be awarded to prostitution, right?
gambling is a sickness.
....Magic the Gathering isn't part of that category, right? T_T
"Shut up woman! I cast 'Counterspell' on your views on men and then cast 'Browbeat'!"?
=D
Swift Silence.
Agree. I walk past several pachinko parlours on the way to the station every day, and every morning there are about a dozen guys standing there waiting to go in at the 9am opening time or whatever. It's really messed up.
I wouldn't be so quick to judge a gambler either. If anyone reading this simply sees it as a sin then they might as well stop reading. The rest of us who can be reasonable, consider that we all gamble in one way or another all the time. And most people gamble with money now and then but they're not really any worse off for it and it does them no harm. If it was a hobby, like any other hobby (including the other ones on this list), then there should be no problem with it unless it gets out of hand. I don't gamble, but if I met a gambler I wouldn't immediately assume that it's a problem.
Even if any of these hobbies go too far, I can't stand that people would not be able to look past these things to get to know these people otherwise so that maybe they'd find out that they are great enough to make the effort to help them out of their problem.
you obviously don't understand the meaning. a gambler is not a guy who goes out and play poker with his friends. a gambler is a guy who comes back home and gives expensive gifts to his wife one day, and the next he tells his wife to pack because he lost the house in a gamble, but it doesn't stop there because then after losing all his resources he one days comes back to his wife and tells him goodbye, he answers should I pack? he says no, this time i gambled the house and i lost it, with you included.
My great great grandfather was like that, and my GGG. had to run away from him because of that, so i am not joking.
Great great grandfather? How do you even know he is a gambler?
Gamblers who go on to the next stage of gambling will kill their own mother and wife and kids to get money to keep on gambling.
i never understood gambling like i do now after reading your post octopi.
So even if your good looking women still see your hobbies as trash, but if your fugly as hell but you got money, women would fall at your feet? fucking bitches.
I do gamble on soccer and make a nice profit each month. Now what?
lol, true... would they complain about a gambler if he seriously brought in the dough? I doubt it...
Gambling as a steady profitable profession? Hard to believe, as the odd are always against the gambler.
Maybe you just lucky..
so does my mother on sport bets it's also profit
“It just has always had a strong association with ‘otaku’ so it’s totally unacceptable.” – 34-year-old woman
-So if a guy carries a concealed weapon, he's probably a mass shooter, because, you know, all mass murderers have been associated with weapons.
“I don’t normally watch anime so I can’t imagine we could have anything to talk about. Even if he was hot, if we have nothing to talk about…” – 26-year-old woman
Because guys who watch anime don't have any other topics of conversation and talk about anime 24/7. Yeah, how boring.
“This just leaves a childish impression.” – 24-year-old woman
Childish, shmildish. Those women must really love no-bullshit-faced guys who are always serious.
If someone carries a concealed weapon, they may not be a mass shooter, but they have some serious problems and should consider removing themselves from everyone.
Damn, that's a crapload of people with serious problems! Maybe you should consider living indoors away from everyone.
If someone watches hentai, they may not be a rapist, but they have some serious problems and should consider removing themselves from everyone.
Well to be fair, Hentai has genres unlike guns. Rape hentai... I couldn't understand how someone might think someone who watches that stuff could have more potential to rape, but a there's actually a lot of hentai that doesn't have any rape. Some hentai you could watch is more like the equivalent of carrying a bubble blowing toy gun, not just any gun.
Guns have genres. I guess it all depends on what it was designed for. Say a finely crafted double barreled shotgun for hunting versus a fully-automatic belt-fed whatever for military.
In any case still ironic that someone with our interests is making a blanket statement about another group. Ours is hardly considered normal either, thus the article.
"Normal people," say the same thing about our hobbies as well. That we have, "serious problems and should consider removing themselves from everyone." Did you not read the article?
Meh who cares they are all old and boring.
My wife doesnt mind that I watch anime and that
I have tons of loli pictures I've collected from this site. Hell and its not that were young and shes even older than me and can tolerate the anime I watch if she isn't watching it to.
You are lucky, bro.
lol +1 man, my girlfriend is a bit older than me but she loves to watch ecchi and hentai anime with me! We were both into hentai, ecchi, and romance anime before we me and now we watch them all together. Ah, my brazillian otaku chiquita! :3
So for the most part, Japanese women hate men who have interests that will keep the woman from getting more money from their sugar-dad...err..."boy friend".
Polls like these have made me give-up my sexual fetish for Asian women in general and Japs in particular.
There's nothing special about asian girls you know, all women are the same regardless of nationality
You've never met a typical American girl, have you.
Protip: They look at the girls who answered in this poll as though they are pretentious money-sluts.
Everyone will do that, once they get in the same shoes everything changes
Nationality? yes. Culture? no.
Who cares what a bunch of old hags think?
It's not as if those makeinus are in any position to make demands anyway...
Neither are you, unless you try to convince yourself being a half breed freak who ran to japan makes you special lol
rofl...
wtf.. PirateKing never make such demand, but the old hag did..
34 years old talk down a hot guy just because he is into anime is just demanding.
These old hag should look at the mirror and count their wrinkles first before lamenting a guy for a harmless hobby.
-_-; I'm 32, so those "34 year old hags" are my age group. /sigh
Someone has low standards...
Age groups my ass. Anyone with some money can rent 18-years-old pussies without troubles.
this survey is why i've completely given up on bitches and there incessant bleating and nagging and am now dedicated to delicious, delicious cock. nomma nomma nomma !
To quote Andre Young in a line written by O'Shea Jackson, It's Crazy To See People Be What Society Wants Them To Be But Not Me
that sounds more like something Kanaya would say >:D
I don't know, they sound like they could just be tsundere milfs to me...
errr.. the samples aren't enough..
the heck, give me about 1000 comments per category
yeah, we want statistics. cold hard facts!
i was going to say the same thing
can we have an opinion of 16 or less? pretty please Sancom?
My guess is that they always interview women who are at the age of marriage = ~25-35
And as people know... the older the unmarried women, the more desperate they get... and one of the reasons for not being married at those ages is that they are very picky :D
Umm... They get more picky as they get more desperate? Yeahhhhh.... This totally makes sense.
you didnt understand him.... THEY ARE PICKY! and the ones which cannot fullfill their dream until 35 get more and more desperate until they abandon it somewhere in the middle.
No, they're still looking (and getting more desperate) because they were so picky in the first place.
So true, they're 20 years too old.
