The plus side for us guys is that it makes things easier at first. The downside is that having your girl put herself down can get old after awhile.

No Japanese women were prepared to describe themselves as "cute" or "beautiful" and only 2 percent of Japanese respondents felt they were "charming."


Evidently they didn't interview Rika. :)

Agreed.

I guess they feel like there are so many Musu-- I mean, girls cuter than they are, their own cuteness doesn't count.

Well, maybe it's true?  I mean, statistically speaking, out of 100 women, there must be 25 that's above avg looking, 50 avg looking, 25 below avg, right?  Isn't that the whole point of the term "average"?

Sayu and Eri always stating they're the cutest is so adorable and funny, and partly why they're my 2 favorites in the group.

So, it's the inner city pollution or the groping that makes them beautiful?

Given that Japan has considerably more girls than boys now, probably. :)

Japan actually has an ageing population. You'd expect the country that spawned bukkake would have an exponentially increasing population..

Not so.  Below the age of 65 there are actually more boys than girls, and, overall, females only slightly outnumber males.

Sex ratio:
at birth: 1.05 male(s)/female
under 15 years: 1.05 male(s)/female
15-64 years: 1.01 male(s)/female
65 years and over: 0.73 male(s)/female
total population: 0.96 male(s)/female (2005 est.)

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ja.html

These numbers, however, do not do not take into account the percentage of boys who are overweight wotas that would not detract from the pool of available women :P.

well all I can say is that my wife is part Japanese, part Vietnamese and part French and she's stunning - the combination is wonderful.

yeah, as someone once told me, "every good looking girl in japan is in morning musume!"

But that's wrong. Walk around outside and you'll see hundreds of lovely-looking girls. Sure, they're not at that absolute pinnacle of cuteness but I wouldn't say no. In fact I'd be saying "yes, yes yes!"

To me, an australian, japanese 10/10's are rarer than western 10/10s but 7-8/10s are much more common. The distribution curve is different - maybe there's not so many at that absolute peak of beauty but there's far more who are "very nice".

Seriously, you don't expect there to be all that many beautiful girls at a morning musume concert do you? It's just not their scene. But I'll stand with you outside any major railway station you like and point to 30 cute girls a minute : )

I really laughed out loud on that one. I was actually considering looking some of this up, until I hit your post. Thanks for that enlightening bit of information, haha.
