世論 What Japan Thinks

goo Ranking had another fun summer survey, this time looking at what women do not want to see their boyfriends doing at the beach or in the pool.

Demographics

Between the 21st and 23rd of June 2010 1,137 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 65.1% of the sample were female, 8.0% in their teens, 20.4% in their twenties, 31.2% in their thirties, 23.9% in their forties, 9.2% in their fifties, and 7.2 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. In addition, this question was for females only.

Talking of ogling other women on the beach, here’s an advert for a mobile gaming site:

She tuts, “Damn – stolen”.
