Some say Japanese women are among the pickiest in the world when it comes to dating. Perhaps that's why 20% of Japanese men opt for lifelong bachelorhood. Facing these discerning women, many potential boyfriends find themselves eliminated after just the first date.
Once Japanese men and women get to know each other's basic information, the dating process begins. What do Japanese women typically care about during these dates?
Attention to Detail in Date Arrangements
In Japan, a typical date includes at least two activities, often referred to as "second rounds." This involves dining at a restaurant followed by chatting at a bar.
During the restaurant meal, Japanese women care whether the reservation was made in advance or decided spontaneously. They also notice if it's a casual eatery or a more upscale restaurant.
When it comes to bar conversations, Japanese women prefer venues with atmosphere and views of city nightlife, rather than low-grade, enclosed karaoke rooms where privacy can be compromised.
For Japanese women, sitting side by side in a corner of a bar, under the starlit glow of candlelight, enjoying the urban nightlife, savoring romantic cocktails, and softly discussing future life plans should be a memorable and delightful experience.
Sensitivity to Men's Scent
Japanese women have a keen sense of smell, almost akin to an animal's primal instinct. During dating, they sometimes evaluate their date's scent, much like how a cat or dog might. Research indicates that if a man exhibits body odor, bad breath, or similar unpleasant signs, 90% of Japanese women may eliminate him after the first date.
Attention to Men's Fingernails
In dating Japanese women, one thing they pay attention to is the condition of a man's fingernails. Studies show that if a man's fingernails are dirty, 73% of Japanese women may reconsider continuing to date him. For Japanese women, hands can represent cleanliness and personal hygiene, reflecting overall body care.
Interest in Men's Conversation Topics
During dating with Japanese women, discussing past romantic histories is a taboo subject. This includes avoiding discussions about one's own romantic past or criticizing past relationships of the partner. If a man inadvertently brings up his own romantic history during a date and proceeds to criticize ex-girlfriends, it may lead to the end of the dating relationship. The current girlfriend may opt to leave to avoid a similar fate.
Importance of Men's Appearance and Manners
During dates, Japanese women care about a man's attire, choice of shoes, whether he walks alone during strolls, or considers the other person, among other details. These nuances often matter to Japanese women during dating.
Dating with Japanese women involves paying attention to several details. However, what Japanese women care most about is a man's attitude toward others, especially toward service staff in the vicinity.
If a boyfriend is rude to service staff, Japanese women find it very distasteful.
If a boyfriend is kind and understanding toward service staff, particularly when they make mistakes, it generally earns him high marks in the eyes of Japanese women.
In the minds of Japanese women, a man's future position in the household could potentially be as the head of the family in a positive scenario, or as a respectful member in a less ideal scenario. If a boyfriend treats service personnel courteously now, it naturally assures Japanese women of his commitment to their future dignity.
Dating Japanese girls is a journey filled with charm and cultural intrigue. From mastering the art of conversation to appreciating their love for cute things (kawaii), every step can lead to deeper connections. Whether you're exploring Tokyo's vibrant nightlife or enjoying a serene cherry blossom viewing, embracing Japanese culture opens doors to romance.
