I'm guessing that one of the reasons you are here is because you like the Japanese related content. I'm also guessing that there are a few of you who are seeking a Japanese lady. Well for those who are, you should know exactly what type of men they are looking for...

This is a screencap of a Japanese show about Omiai [お見合い]. Omiai is where single (usually single ^^;) men and women get together in hope of finding the right partner. A couple would chat with each other for a while and then split up to chat with other couples.
Omiai is a very common over here and you may have already learnt about it in Anime or J-Dramas.

Back to the topic of what Japanese women are looking for in a man. While this lady certainly doesn't represent all Japanese women, its interesting to see what her requirements are which are as follows...
  • Smart and tall
  • Good looking
  • Interesting/funny
  • Kind/gentle
  • Can earn more than her money wise
  • Takes the lead
  • Can drink loads of alcohol without getting drunk
So how many did you score? If you scored 7 then you are mister perfect and should get your booty along to Japan now.

As a teenager, I was looking for the perfect girl like the ones that are in eroge and anime - cute, big anime eyes (both pairs), cuddly, kind nado nado ("nado nado" [などなど] means "etcetera etcetera").

I finally came to my senses and realized that if I continued looking for a completely perfect girl then before I knew it I would be a balding old man with a few Candy Girls in my possession (which look perfect.)

Are you looking for a perfect partner? What do you look for when seeking that person who you're going to spend the rest of your life with?

Im 6'2", so I guess I get tall as well as the rest of them.. The truth of the matter is, no women have any idea what they want. They think they do, but they dont. Ever. So just learn how to play the game and you can have any woman you want.. no matter how many of those points you got. The first rule? Be indifferent to them in the beginning. Women want what they cant have, and if you dont like them.. then they want to know why. They will try harder. Women are told all day how beautiful they are, so dont even bother....or .. be a nice guy and hopefully you get lucky and find a woman with a big heart... and eyes.

I also love that women think they deserve a "perfect" guy. Especially with a face like the one above. Maybe you should bring something to the table that compares to what you are looking for. That goes for guys, stop thinking you are going to marry a supermodel. Even if you get to, you wouldnt want to. Trust me, you would hate it.

If people read carefully, there's actually 10 requirements there.
Number 1, 3 and 4 are actually 2 requirements each.
I scored half.
But then again, I'm not specially interested in japanese ladies (though those requirements are almost consense between women...), and not very fond of things like Omiai.

One can also interpret Omiai as "arranged marriage"... dunno if I'm wrong here, but this isn't restricted to those clubs, isn't it?

I heard of marriage agencies, where things go a little bit different than that.

People go there and looks at pictures of "candidates", choose and then see if it goes well.

Or was Omiai the name of those fast dating clubs? I can't remember...

Oh, I'd want to see that list for men.

- Looks
- Kawaii factor

Everyone always seems to expect their partner to be 'perfect'--which is exactly why they are still single.

I have only 1 requirement; that we enjoy each other's company. That's all I need. If we can site and watch anime together or play music together that's enough for me.

I scored 5!

Wait, woman doesn't want guys that have creative talent? Like good at singing? playing sports? playing instruments etc?
If so thats a blow to me.

I am a typical asian guy whos height is 5'8 Is this tall enough?

i weigh 155 pounds 
because I work out and lift weights @_@.

My parent's friends tell me im good looking so i take it as a yes XD

Take the lead? does this mean by being confident?

I had experienced an ex-gf who, later on had the same 'wants/needs' as that woman. Probably goes with most of the girls I encounter around London.

Kind/gentle? tbh, that can be all fake for first impressions.. next thing you know, the woman could be beaten with flip-flops or vice versa.

My 'minimum' requirement for a partner: Someone who would take care of me.

For everything else, there's the 2-D alternative >.>;

Ahhh...

A perfect person? I wouldn't ask for much since all I want is someone who likes me and can put up with my awkwardness... And preferably share my interest in 2D girls. Doesn't have to be exceptionally good looking just not obese or ugly. Or shorter than me, cause that'd be embarrassing (but I'm 4'11" so lol!)

But I'll probably never find anyone as I am shy, awkward, and tend to just make a lot of guy friends. I also tend to run away from people once I find out they like me, which is probably a problem. : ( But those guys are lame cause they never do something... with any passion or courage so that may be why.

if I was being fair, I'd say I qualify for around half of the above. tbh, I think most ppl would qualify for the top one (taller than her)!

Then again, I'm not looking to settle down anytime soon. heck, I'm not even looking. I'm quite happy being single for the forseeable future!

Well I guess being tall and thus being able to withstand a lot of alcohol is an advantage for most Europeans :)

Looks are in the eyes of the beholder and the rest sort of comes by itself (except maybe the money issue, but you can talk to her about that later on...ehm.. :p)

So yeah, I'd probably stand a good chance ^^

Darnit!  I scored a 3 ..I don't drink alcoholic beverages (bad experiences) and I'm pessimistic about the rest.

Here's my criteria for a partner:

conservative on the outside, but a revolutionary in the sack

able to cook like an Iron Chef, but also able to gorge down an "In n' Out" Double-Double faster Takeru Kobayashi

someone who sounds like Lisa Ling (mommy complex) both while talking dirty in bed, and while I'm being scolded

there's more ..but I'm too embarrassed to tell the world ..LOL

Smart? Depends on where the level's at.
Tall? 6'2" qualifies.
Good looking? Was once upon a time, so negative.
Interesting/funny? Depends on what she finds interesting and funny. If the qualifications are aliens, time travelers or espers, she's pretty much out of luck.
Kind/Gentle? I try to be, regardless the amounts of times I've failed. All which conjures up regrets.
Earn more than her? The main reason why I'm not seeking companionship currently. At my age, love cannot be found on minimum wage. Heh, that rhymed.
Takes the lead? Limited there. Would never take the lead at the expense of her happiness. Likely not what she meant, but it's my fear.
Drink without being drunk? That's possible??!

About the women's ideal man ok, but did they interview a man to know what is his ideal woman ?
If i remember correctly my japanese classes, there's a big problem with marriage, family, and children nowadays  in Japan... marriage occurs quite late, women working don't want to have children, and so the population is aging tremendously ...

Only one advice to japanese people : stop being picky !!! Or else we're gonna steal your women ;)
