Boys think it's normal for a girl to weigh 30-40 kg.
Does this happen a lot? - It so does.
If it becomes weird with them then, I refuse them.
- They do it on purpose. - They're really cunning.
Hey guys it's Cathy Cat. Today we will Ask Japanese people on
the streets of Japan. Don't forget to hit the subscribe button now
so you don't miss any of our other videos coming up soon
where we interview Japanese people.
Today's topic is going to be the IMAGE that Japanese men have of females
Is it truthful or do they expect a little bit too much
of what girls should do. So let's go and Ask Japanese.
Are there images that Japanese boys have about girls, that are often wrong?
Misunderstandings when they interact with girls and such.
Could you tell me one of these things?
Japanese men expect Japanese girls to be way too skinny.
- For example. - They think 30-40kg is a normal weight.
Many seem to think that and I don't like it.
- 30kg? That's impossible! - It totally is.
You would just be bones.
Boys are like "Girls are around that weight right."
No way!
Why do Japanese men expect that? I mean 30 kilos is pretty impossible.
It's because they look too much at cute models and idol girls.
Girls like that have their official weight announced.
And then men think that's normal girl's weight.
That's not normal.
And they also seem to think that girls wear cute things even at home.
Many expect girls to wear "indoor cozy brands".
What do you mean by that?
There seems to be the idea that girls will dress super cute and adorable at home.
They seem to think that girls wear fluffy cute things and dress nicely indoors too.
Yeah they do.
That's mostly not the case.
If cute fluffy items are not normal, what's normal then?
What do you wear?
Even in winter I wear t-shirts and shorts.
Yeah that's what I wear inside.
I like to sleep like that.
You get me, right.
I just wear my underwear when I sleep.
And in my room I just wear t-shirts. - Yeah that's what most girls do.
I got one! I got one! Weight! What men expect to be chubby is totally different.
Men think that girls with 45-55 kilos are chubby.
They think that's too heavy, but girls are actually that heavy.
I wish they'd know that.
Many men think women are these light and fluffy beings,
but there are actually more women who are just laid back and normal.
I wish they would not look at these perfect girls and expect that of us.
Hearing this, I have the feeling that men here have a strict image of what girls should be like.
I think that might be the fault of the Anime culture.
Skinny perfect girls appear in them a lot.
But those girls don't exist in real life.
I play a lot of games with girls in them.
The size of their boobs and their shown body weight doesn't match.
It's quite unrealistic.
Some girls on twitter tweeted that these low weight data is not real.
For example saying, with weight like that a real girl would be more like bones.
And a real girl, a cute girl, does not have to be that skinny. I wish guys knew that.
If you are just a little bit nice to them, they think you are in love with them.
Does this happen to you a lot? - It so does.
If it becomes weird with them then, I refuse them.
Does this trouble you? - Yeah it's a real problem.
I don't want to hurt them...
So I need to worry and think really hard of what to say.
Girls who act overly cute usually have a bad personality.
Exaggerated cute habits are generally done on purpose.
Things like "Hihi"
Yes stuff like that is generally done on purpose.
- They do it on purpose. - They're really cunning.
So cute acts that boys might like...
They pretend to be overly cute to get the attention of the boy they like.
They put it on.
So it's like fishing then. Bait for fishing. - Exactly.
Yes bait!
This happened to one of my friends but...
The boys around me, they generally think of great surprises for events like Christmas.
Like giving a ring or making a reservation in a restaurant.
But there are also girls who don't want that kind of fuss.
Just a normal surprise is ok. Big surprises are great of course but...
but in contrast they will feel pressured that they have to return it in some form.
In my recent girlfriend circle, many girls prefer just a normal present.
Boys might have the image that girls will be happy but in truth they might not be.
It's too much. Some girls will actually pull back from that.
I think the way we think might be different on that one.
You don't have to put so much stress into it. - Just keep it simple.
It's enough to meetup and give each other a gift.
If I get given a present that's too expensive I will feel like I can't return that much.
Hapo Bijin!
What's a Hapo Bijin?
It's a girl who pretends to be a good girl to many people.
But you don't know their real face.
Aren't they called Burikko?
Kind of similar.
What do boys mistake when they look at girls?
They think all women are naturally tidy.
They might think all women like to be tidy and clean but many are actually not.
Fair point there.
Well... it must be the weight after all.
The weight boys expect girls to be, is a lot lower than the average weight.
Why do many boys in Japan expect that?
Famous TV people are all very skinny.
And boys take that as reference.
Thanks so much.
Okay, 'What do men get wrong?' It was quite interesting that many men
seem to think that Japanese girls are very light,
like that 40 kilos is normal or something like that,
I was surprised because I saw that a lot in fashion magazines
when it was like, "I'm just 40 kilo," or like, "I used to be 46 kilo, now I'm 44 kilo"
and I'm just like, "That doesn't sound healthy at all..."
So, "What men get wrong", other things may be... that they maybe
think that girls are always cute in their whole life, even when they come home
they're still cute and they're still wearing cute things inside their rooms...
which they don't. Some people don't at least.
And that rooms will always look cute... again, same thing.
Also, all my friends who have lived together in dorms with other girls say
like no matter if you're a foreigner or Japanese, it's kind of messy.
So yeah. Girls can be messy too, apparently.
So! Is there anything else that you think girls are sometimes
misunderstood for, or some things that men get wrong?
Let us know. Looking forward to reading your comments.
Also - nice bits. Be nice to each other. No mean comments there, okay?
So, don't forget to subscribe for another video from Ask Japanese
and I'll catch you soon! Bye!
...kilogram.
What?! You are 58 kilos?
The director of Ask Japanese is maybe 58 kilos at this point in time.
You're too skinny! Eat some food!
He is very skinny. He's like, super skinny.
And he's guessing now how much I weigh?
48 kilos.
Hey, I'm not gonna talk about my weight on camera! It's not happening!
