Acting "cute" gets you attention. Acting "weak" does too. But those aren't the women that men want to marry. Those are just for fun.

Yes I am Japanese. Does that give me plus or negative points in this argument?
I think Japanese men do in fact desire to marry these “frail” and unassertive women. However I find most Japanese women can be both genteel and submissive, and also strong willed and reliable when need be. I do think you need to put on the submissive façade first though, cus that’s what men think they want, at least. Many men will shy away from a girl who is too headstrong.
I say all this as my own opinion from what I have observed. I don’t claim this to be universal, I am sure many Japanese men like strong girls too. Nor do I think it is how it should be. It’s just what I feel is the case.
Sorry about going talking about sexism in this thread, which has nothing do with it. Eeep :s
