世論 What Japan Thinks

It’s a bit late for a Saturday survey, so instead we’ll start Sunday early with a look with goo Ranking at what faults in their ideal hunk could Japanese women compomise on.

Demographics

Over the 21st and 22nd of October 2010 1,075 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 66.3% of the sample were female, 9.9% in their teens, 18.1% in their twenties, 30.9% in their thirties, 24.7% in their forties, 8.8% in their fifties, and 7.5% 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 survey was for the women only.

The question is implying that it is only the guy’s face that is perfect, as one’s ideal mate would not have faults, obviously! Unfortunately, there’s no answer “I’m not that shallow to choose people on looks alone”.
