If I loved her, I'd pick the ugly one! Marriage... is not about the face.
I want a beautiful girl.
But she has absolutely no cash.
Can't be helped!
Would you marry a girl with that background?
Aaaah...
Hey guys this is Ask Japanese. Right now we are on the streets of Tokyo
to ask Japanese people for you.
This time we are gonna select Japanese BOYS and we are gonna ask them
if they would marry for looks or for money.
However if the person looks very good, what happens if that person
maybe has some debt.
Does that change anything? Also, do Japanese boys make a difference
between dating a person or marrying a person...
When it comes about money and looks. Let's find out.
If you are new to our channel, don't forget to subscribe for more videos
from Japan, and let's go and ask Japanese boys.
A beautiful girl... but she is super poor. or
a girl that is not pretty but super rich. Which one would you choose?
I would prefer the one with the money.
She doesn't have to be a looker.
Why so?
Money is so important.
I would pick a beautiful lady. I would go for that.
But she has no cash.
Well we can work on the money front.
We just need to work.
So you would have to work a bit harder.
The beautiful girl can also do some work herself.
But good looks are important.
Your opinions are so different. - Looks are the most important thing.
I pick the one with money.
Why so? - I couldn't deal with a girl who has debt.
That's trouble.
I would pick the pretty girl.
But even if she had debt?
In that case we should try our best together.
So we can both return her debts together.
We could try our best.
Would you marry someone who has debts?
Aaaah...
That would make me reconsider.
But by the time we marry, I would still love her a lot...
I would maybe marry her still.
Without a doubt I would pick the pretty lady.
Why so?
She doesn't have money, right? - Yes, zero.
Then I would just have to pay, right?
How cool.
Who would you pick? - Of course the pretty one.
I will have to work harder.
When she is marrying, she still doesn't have a single coin.
Well, I guess that's ok.
It starts from there. If you work, you can get money.
If she is pretty, I will let that go though.
Would you still do the same if she had debt?
That depends on the reason for it.
If it was debt from Pachinko. - You mean gambling...
If it was from stupid stuff like that, I could not marry her.
If it was romantic debts from her trying to achieve her dream, it's different.
What are romantic debts ?
She tried to make her dreams come true, but failed to do it and made debts.
University debts and such?
Things like that.
Depends on how high that debt is.
What is your limit?
Just about to around 100,000yen (1000 dollars)
Any more than that would be scary.
I get the hot girl.
Why? - Because she is pretty. That's important.
But she has absolutely no money.
I will support her.
I want the hot one. I want the beauty.
I want a pretty girl to walk next to me on the streets.
I am a bit of a looser, so I would definitely support her financially.
That's my reason.
If that pretty girl had some debt, what would you do?
Well that depends on the reason for the debt.
If she got into some hot host boy and spend the money on him...
But if it was a family thing, that would be alright.
Same here.
I guess so too.
How much debt would you be ok with? What's the limit?
Up to about 500,000 Yen (5,000 Dollars)
I would go for 300,000 ( 3,000 Dollars)
Isn't 500,000 a bit too much? - Yeah maybe 100,000 Yen.
You lowered it. - Around 200,000 (2,000 dollars)
So when you were about to marry and she has a debt of 600,000 yen (6,000 dollars)
would you still marry her?
I would not marry her. - I would definitely not marry her.
But when we are about to marry...
we need to have money.
If I loved her...I'd pick the ugly one. Cause marriage is not about the face so...
To stay together for a long time... I would pick her for her character.
You completely changed your choice now.
Dating and marrying is totally different.
Why so?
When thinking that you will be together forever...
that's when you need to think about money and debts and such.
I want the pretty one. - Why her?
Because a man has to earn the money.
She should do all the housework.
And that's ok for you like that? - Yeah.
What would you do? - Will I get in trouble to say the pretty one?
I want the good looking girl.
But she has no cash.
Can't be helped. I will work hard.
Ok I am gonna change the parameters a little now.
She is a beautiful lady but... she has some debt...
An unattractive girl but... she has lots of money. Which one would you pick?
I'd pick the ugly one.
Depends on the amount of debt? - Where is the limit?
100..... - 100 what? Potatoes?
1,000,000 yen (10,000 Dollars)
That's the upper limit. If she had more debts than that, I wouldn't know what to do.
Would you marry that girl?
Whoah, that's hard for marriage...
He is taking this question really seriously.
I'd pick the pretty one...
must be fun to live with her.
A face that makes you feel at home when you come back?
I will stay realistic. Please give me the ugly one.
When dating or marrying, you think differently about a girl?
I guess so. I keep them separate.
Ideally a hot girl with money is best though.
I want the pretty one.
Why so?
Why?
I think money is something I should earn instead. - Cool dude.
I want the looker. Money doesn't matter. I will support her.
It doesn't matter.
I will pick the good looking one too.
What will you do about the money? - I will work something out.
I am gonna make her happy for sure.
If I change the parameters...
Let's make her a pretty girl who has some debt.
What do you do now?
Depends on how much debt she carries.
What if it's 1,000,000 Yen?
If she still had that much when we met, that would be a difficult thing...
If I worked more...
I might be able to work something out.
But that's a bit tough. This is a real pinch.
I would decline that.
When you marry, would you pick the pretty girl with no money
or the ugly one who has super lots of cash?
What would you do?
I would go for the pretty one.
Even if the had 1,000,000 yen in debt?
Well in the first place, you should not marry for money right?
Depends on how much we loved her.
I want her to make beautiful babies for me.
That's why I want the pretty one.
Those were all questions. Thank you!
Money versus looks. Looks went all the way. Well that was...
We were kind of expecting it a little bit, the director and I we were like...
"Yeah it's probably gonna be looks..."
So we put in the debt factor to see if that's gonna change anything...
they said if it's a small debt and depending what kind of type of debt it is...
they would still date the handsome person
over someone who has a lot of money.
Interesting. They also said again, we are gonna work hard
to make this happen, so I can stay together with the beautiful girl instead with the rich girl.
So that's how it looks here in Japan.
Lot's of emphasis on personal appearance here in Japan, generally
We have done a couple of videos about that. If you are curious, find them
in our playlist. We for example asked how thin girls have to be or
what they think of the general body mass and expectations.
That's quite interesting to find out. If you are curious about that, find that in our past videos.
Hope that will help you before you come to Japan.
Lots of extra info there.
