Gunma has many beautiful women! You had something bad experiences with Gunma women like you were assaulted by them or you were discriminated or something like that! Beauty is not only looks but also their heart!! I thought foreign men love ugly Japanese women :P

I’m sure there are some very lovely ladies who reside in the prefecture—but it probably still hurts for Gunma-ites because it’s their second time on the bottom of such a list.

That’s right, out of Japan’s 47 prefectures, Gunma, located in the middle of the Japanese archipelago, placed dead last.

I dunno, I've never noticed that Oregon women were particularly plain. Well, maybe some of them. But I have seen some really pretty women there (I live there half the year), too.

**think I’d laught if I lived in the state of least beautiful women….but it’s true, someone had to come last and it just so happened they did. Such a sad day for them.**

in USA there is "porkland" Oregon...known by all men to be the state with the ugliest women
& they do conduct equally useless yet amusing surveys

Ha! My Japanese teacher is from Akita, not that i'm saying she's ugly or anything, I just thought that was funny. You have to think that despite the whole modesty thing in Japan, there's a good-looking woman in the Gunma prefecture that's feeling pretty damn good about herself.

At what DH said, thank you. I'll actually be sure to visit Gunma when I do visit Japan. Nothing cheers me up more than nice people.

♪If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you♪

Maybe the women of Gunma are the happiest?

I could make a joke about drifting, but out of respect for Keiko Kitagawa, despite her bad decisions, I am not going there.

Alright, I lived in Gunma for several years (now living in San Francisco, originally from Norway) and can confirm this myth. Relative to Japan, Gunma girls just aren't that hot. Mind you, I'd take a Gunma girl over an Arkansas, USA girl instantly. And also, it varies across the prefecture; in Takasaki the selection is decent, while more remote cities like Kiryu leave something to be desired.

That said, Gunma people are otherwise awesome. They're hands-down the nicest Japanese people I've met. Despite being one of the only white guys in my village, I always felt welcome; they encouraged me to participate in their festivals, said 'ohayo!' in passing on the street, and I was constantly invited to dinners around town; I understand this is a pipe-dream in some areas of Japan. It's a wonderful place to live.

Honestly, I kind of want to go back. But these SF girls? Smokin.

Dan has a point. Being from Kansas, I see things in public that should be X-rated (not in terms of sexual content, but in terms of gross vulgarity).

Regardless, what is beautiful is rather subjective. Does the phrase "acquired taste" apply only to foods? Perhaps I'm a total freak, but I've never been into the whole 'model' look because of the baggage that comes with that personality. I would like to carry on a good conversation with my mate more than most other things--particularly when we're 85.

Despite not actually living in Japan and having only been to Tokyo for a week once as a tourist, I randomly threw in a vote for Okayama (not that it helped much). It was a pain to sign up, though- I had a livedoor e-mail account but I had to supply additional information, I think, for Livedoor Research (the group that did this survey). Apparently I’m supposed to get something for doing these surveys, but I haven’t got anything yet.

Interesting that 37% of people said “no preference/don’t know”, though. Also interesting that apart from Tokyo, Akita, Hokkaido, Okinawa, and, all the other prefectures each got about 0.3%-2% of the vote each.

Adara:

Honestly... I'm not sure anybody outside of the citizens of the top and bottom prefectures really cares. Still, I did want to see what other people thought about the fact that a poll like this was even conducted. While I feel that this survey was completely pointless and rude, I have to admit that I would probably care if a similar study was done in the US and my state came in last.

Re: Japan’s Top Producer of Ugly Women: Gunma*

Adara — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 03:12:53 -0000

my question is, who f***ing cares? =/
and, too, where's the results for the "most attractive males" prefecture? let's harass those guys. I sometimes feel bad for Japanese women because objectification/infantilisation/discrimination is so much more humiliating and pervasive in Japan than it is in the US.
