According to an online research, Japanese women hope to marry to these kind of men:
1. Who is kind to her (24.7%)
2. Who think his new family is the most important thing (15.3%)
3. Who does not cheat on her (11.0%)
4. Who can listen to her and provide some advices about it(9.7%)
5. Who can talk to her about important things in their life (such as changing a job, buying a house, living with his parents, etc) before he decides by himself (5.3%)
6. Who earns good salary (5.0%)
7. Who can treat her parents nicely (4.7%)
8. Who says ok to her to work and understands her situation (3.7%)
9. Who does not smoke (3.0%)
10. Who understands her hobby and does not make her to give it up (3.0%)
I wonder how ladies in other countries think about the result.
oh guess what? On the opposite ranking (what kind of woman a japanese man want to marry?),
things about her appearance were on the top 10 such as "a woman who looks young" and "a woman who is beautiful". (I lost the link, so i don't remember the number.)
It seems that men care about his future wife's appearance more than women do. That was pretty funny to me somehow XD
