世論 What Japan Thinks

As a follow-up to my recent presentation of what makes plain girls hot, here we have women looking at men to tell us what makes plain guys cool. As before, this is from goo Ranking.

Demographics

Over the 20th and 21st of December 2010 1,128 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 65.4% of the sample were female, 11.9% in their teens, 17.2% in their twenties, 30.2% in their thirties, 23.2% in their forties, 10.0% in their fifties, and 7.4% 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 women only.

I suppose I could only manage numbers 3, 6 and 23, and since getting married only number 2 has improved…

I’d also rate number 26 as a minus, not a plus, and it’s interesting to note that what men rated as 21, women placed it higher at 13.
