What Japanese women find cute in men

Advertisement

Me sleepingHere’s another fun survey from goo Ranking, this one looking at what male actions women just can’t help think they look cute doing.

Demographics

Over the 6th and 7th of June 2011 1,148 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 50.6% of the sample were male, 12.1% in their teens, 16.9% in their twenties, 28.0% in their thirties, 25.4% in their forties, 9.7% in their fifties, and 7.9% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample. This question was obviously for the women only.

I was going to post a picture to illustrate one of these images, but I didn’t feel comfortable with it… UPDATE: I found my wife had taken one to illustrate number 4…

Note that there is only 19 answers; I’ve not missed one out!

    From a male perspective, the top two feel arrogant/smug to me (I mean, I still do them a lot, but from the male perspective it’s a bit like “whoops, better kick myself there for being unreserved”), so this is a bit funny ;) Oh well, it’s a win win situation – apparently they like seeing men blushing when praised and enjoying food, and men like being praised and eating food! :D
