Forget
about money or pretty face; If you don't pass this test, you're out. A new
survey reveals the requirements of Japanese women for couples, and
the result is clear: 69.7% of young women (18-29 years old) value cleanliness over
a good smile or fashion sense. You can be a Casanova, but if your hygiene
fails, you don't stand a chance.
Japanese
Women's Requirements for Couples Focus on Hygiene
The study,
carried out by the textile company Blooming Nakanishi, exposed
specific habits that cause immediate rejection (the famous "Red
Flags"). Take note, because 80% of those surveyed consider that these
details break romantic interest:
- Worn cell phone cases or
backpacks: A
sign of carelessness.
- Wearing the
"Oshibori" on the face: Cleaning your face with the damp
towel they give in restaurants is a resounding "NO".
- Drying your hands on your
clothes: 74.4%
hate it.
- Long nails: 71.1% find it repulsive.
Why is
it so important?
It is not
superficiality. For nearly half of respondents, a lack of physical cleanliness
is a reflection of a chaotic lifestyle, a dirty room, or a lack of discipline.
The
accessory that saves you
Interestingly,
the study revealed that wearing a handkerchief is the number
one trait of a "clean" person (55.5%), beating out deodorants. It is
perceived as a sign of good manners and order. So now you know: iron your
shirt, cut your nails and bring a scarf.
