In September 2005, A Japanese internet-based research company, DIMSDRIVE, performed a survey involving 5274 Japanese people (of which 2806 people are women) to find out which country’s citizens beside Japan would people most want to marry. Below is the survey result:

haha this is such an interesting survey. well, it looks like japanese guys tend to like asian chicks and japanese women like white guys. but its a lil surprising that japanese guys wanna marry american women the most… some women over here r sick and tired of japanese guys, and they r looking for some “excitement” these days i guess…lol anyway, thanks for posting.

Hey, Yuta, thanks for the comment. I guess to each its own.
“America” is still a magic word in Japan and I believe the trend will still go strong in the future.

Yes America is the Magic word….its the worlds “Golden Palace”.
For this reason anyone who speaks English is thought of and feels more worldly, and the stewardess who speaks English and travels is held to a higher rank than others….like a Pilot or Doctor.

Thanks for the comment, Coconut. Yes, that is actually also true to some extent in Indonesia.
