世論 What Japan Thinks

This is sort-of a follow-up to the earlier look at effeminate men, being goo Ranking’s look at what things in women’s pockets would make them less charming.

Demographics

Over the 22nd and 23rd of July 2011 1,114 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 65.4% of the sample were female, 12.3% in their teens, 16.5% in their twenties, 28.6% in their thirties, 24.8% in their forties, 10.1% in their fifties, and 7.7% 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 for men only.

I’m not sure why the question was about pockets, as the items below in a handbag would have a similar effect, I think.

I was going to get a photo to illustrate the first answer, but after seeing a few that Flickr had to offer, I decided to skip it…
