When a girl has her elbow on the table and eats uncleanly, I will think less of her.
Hey guys and girls it's Cathy Cat. Right now we are gonna go and ask Japanese people
here in Tokyo what a girl would have to do to make her
incredibly unpopular in Japan.
Let's find out what we need to avoid and Ask Japanese.
Girls who are aloof to the cashier.
Ignoring the cashier. Just by saying "Thank you" they'll feel better
and will be grateful for it.
There's nothing bad with being nicer. - Being nice is best.
Showing to much skin. In Japan girls don't reveal much skin.
When I visited Canada in summer
there were many tanned girls. In Japan there is no tanning culture at all.
True. - Pale skin is popular in Japan. In Canada
a darker skin tone - A healthy tan - Yes that's more popular.
If you come to Japan, you don't need to come to a tanning studio. - Not at all.
Girls who come to Japan and don't abide the rules and manners
There are foreigners like that.
There are. What things would make Japanese feel sad.
At public toilets, cutting in line even though everyone else is waiting
I sometimes see Chinese women do that.
For example when eating at a restaurant
girls who talk too loud and obnoxiously.
Or people who leave things on their plate in a dirty manner
I see that a lot more with foreigners.
So don't leave food at all?
No but, they spill food and don't clean it up.
And the plates are all disordered and not piled
I was surprised to see that.
Could it be that you worked at a restaurant before?
True, I have worked at a family restaurant before.
And I saw that.
What should especially female customers do?
The thing that really bothers others, is how loud they talk.
They should be more careful of their surroundings.
Adjust the volume of their voice and try not to leave food.
Food manners and girls with bad attitude are unpopular.
No matter how pretty they are, I won't care.
What manners do you look at? - Not the small things but...
Girls who have their ellbow on the table or dirty eating habits
I would think less of girls like that. Especially if the way they eat looks messy.
Looks bad. - Eating with the mouth open? - That too.
Chatting up men. I would not appreciate it if a girl chats me up.
Girls can't chat up boys? - Yeah.
If a girl wants you attention, but isn't allowed to talk to you...
what should she do? - I am sure she has her own character traits.
I would see them somehow. - So she has to become friends with you?
Yeah, friends first and then try to get closer.
Instead of being direct. - Take a step back and take it slow.
I think that's better.
I don't like girls who wear too revealing clothes.
You said "I get that". So wait, sexy clothes are NOT what men like?
If a pretty girl wears revealing clothes...
She looks like she just wants money. That's scary.
What clothes should a girl not wear in Japan?
Clothes that are open here, or show too much leg.
If you do that, Japanese men....
will draw back from you.
What should a girl wear then?
Clothes that are not too revealing really.
If a girl does not reveal too much skin, I will think better of her.
So more clothes make you more interested. - Yes.
I think that gets a boys heart.
Those were all questions, thank you.
A really cute girl with a nice tan,
walks down the street, has a nice cleavage out, goes up to the boy "Hey would you like to go for a drink"
3 things that are apparently not very popular if you do that as a girl here in Japan.
Don't tan, don't show too much skin
and also don't chat up boys cause they are quite shy
and if you approach them as a girl it might not work as much.
We asked this question before, only one out of all the boys says
it's OK if a girl approaches him. Generally they're like "I am the man, I should be the one who approaches her"
you have to find a way around that culture, which is very different.
Also, don't be generally too sexual as a girl anyways. Talking about like you know like
maybe talk about sexy things, or sexual relationship experience, people don't tend to say that
at all here. I don't hear any conversation about that, unless they're maybe drunk.
So what else do I have on my list here.....
Another thing generally is, in Japan people tend to do things as a group.
If you've very much the person who is like "No I wanna go there and do this. I don't wanna
go with the group, I wanna do this so you better follow me" might not be such a good idea in Japan
Japan is a group culture, and the harmony of the group is very important. Sometimes
you have to take a step back, see what everyone else does and look after the group
harmony. That's a big thing if you wanna have female friends here in Japan
If you upset the group harmony and come across as too selfish, people might not invite you in the
future to hang out with them.
So I hope these are a couple of things that helped you out before you come to Japan.
Big factor is: try to speak a little of the language and respect
the culture of the manners of Japan. That would help you a lot
on the way and when you come to Japan.
I hope this helped you. What would make a girl very unpopular in your country and
why, let us know in the comments. We might learn something of about your culture
and if you haven't been with us don't forget to subscribe.
Leave a big fat like on the way out guys. See you soon, bye.
