What?!
WHAT?!
The general average is so different!
Ah well... I guess it can't be helped...
Hey guys this is Cathy Cat! Today we'll ask the people of Japan
what their ideal height would be for boys and men.
We'll also compare the average height of Japanese people and
people in America. That's gonna be interesting, let's go and Ask Japanese.
We looked this up...
The average height of Japanese compared to Americans is this...
What?!
?
So skinny!
WHAT?!
Wow, the average is totally different!
- America is nice. - I wanna go to America now.
Wow the average Japanese male is so small. And so skinny.
So skinny.
Ah well... I guess it can't be helped...
So your thoughts on America?
They are so tall!
And solidly built. That's nice. Very manly.
On the other side there might be many obese people.
It depends on if they are that heavy because of their body fat or muscle.
If that weight was because of their muscles that would be cool.
But not if that was body fat.
If that weight was from muscle that would be cool.
- If it was. - If it was.
I think that's too fat.
I think around 70 kilos is enough.
Staying between 70-75 kilos is better...
Maybe just 70 kilos.
Perfect.
Irresistible.
I like it.
- Do you think the weight at 88 kilos is alright? - Totally good.
I personally would prefer it a bit more light.
I don't know much about male weight but 177cm and 88 kilos that's...
that might be a bit too heavy...
Very sturdy...
if it was all muscle.
Comparing it to Japan now?
If you just compare the numbers... so skinny!
A bit weak in comparison.
So skinny.
?
Very skinny.
So small.
Not quite enough.
Japanese men could weight a bit more personally.
But the looks are alright.
Japanese average could be taller ... but I am quite small myself...
I think this is just perfect.
I think this is good too.
Well that makes me think Japanese are tiny.
What is your ideal weight and height for men?
He should be taller and rounder than me.
- Rounder? - Really round is not good but...
He should be the skinny muscular type.
How tall in cm?
Somewhere over 180cm is nice.
- Like a basketball player? - Those are nice...
Height wise he should be at least 170cm...
And weight wise a muscular skinny boy... and his face...
She didn't ask for the face...
The face should be cute.
Height wise, taller than me is great.
And body weight wise, he should be like a reverse triangle.
Muscular on top. Not a full on muscle monster but....
a reverse triangle. The skinny muscular type.
The reverse triangle.
You earlier told me your ideal height, isn't the American height close to that?
But what about the weight?
He shouldn't be too skinny. It should be still healthy.
Weighting more but if he looks like, huge, then that's a no-go.
If he's not fat it's ok.
I like the super muscular types.
He should be taller than 180 cm and have lots of muscles.
Height wise 175-180cm. In good shape and yet skinny.
- And what does your real boyfriend look like? - Something like that.
He should be 180 cm tall and have thick arms.
What about the weight?
I prefer heavy to skinny.
I don't like fatties but still...
I like the compact kind.
Too skinny is a no-go.
He needs to be balanced.
- Have more meat on him than you? - I like them taller.
What do you personally think is a good height for Japanese men?
Well, there is no such thing as being too tall.
In Japan there is the term "muscular skinny"
But that focuses more on the skinniness. More muscles would be good.
What's the ideal height in cm?
I want at least 170 cm.
177cm would be great.
I wish I was over 170 cm...
Being 180cm would be perfect!
- Taller is better. - Like a basketball player?
Yeah that kind of image.
When men are taller, they look cooler.
I prefer people who are tall...
Too skinny men are not my thing...
they should have a good amount of muscles. That's really cool.
- So you want muscles. - Yeah but not too many...
Having at least 175 cm... That's just the right size I think.
I also prefer people who are taller than 175cm.
But you don't really see many of those here in Japan...
People who are cool are generally tall.
So he can be one head taller than you?
- Yes. - That's what looks so cool.
Thank you very much.
