A interesting survey conducted by goo research;

1,071 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 51.1% of the sample were female, 19.9% in their teens, 29.5% in their twenties, 30.5% in their thirties, and 20.1% in their forties

What sort of things do you do that you think others find cute? (Sample size=547, women)

1 Pretend not to understand a dirty joke

2 Look through my lids with upturned eyes

3 Use animated deco mail for emoji

4 Talk in an octave higher tone

5 Blow off a trivial worry by silently smiling

6 Coordinate light pink and white fashion

7 Have a bigger fringe (bangs)

8 Speak slowly and deliberately

9 Tilt my head when asking questions

10= Cover my mouth when laughing

11= Puff my cheeks when angry

12 Be a little pigeon-toed when standing in the train, at traffic lights, etc

13 When hot, embarrassed, fan my face with both hands

14 Have a cute animal cellphone strap

15 Make a duck mouth (pouty lips) when I feel people are looking at me

What sort of things do you do that you think others find cool? (Sample size=524, men)

1 Basically always pay for women

2 Help women carrying heavy items

3 Show off my skills when girls are watching me play sports

4 Basically always pay for subordinates/juniors

5 Sing ballads at karaoke

6 Stare into the distance

7= Stock up on trivia from everyday things then show off my knowledge

7= Undo the top two buttons of shirts

9 Comb my fringe diagonally

10 Idly loosen a tight tie

11 Give my coat to a crying girl

12= Pay by credit card all in one installment

13= Put my arm on the passenger seat when reversing

14= Boast about having been a bad boy in the past

15= Walk with a click-clack sound from my shoe

Some of the things a pretty obvious but some are just random like how number 12 on the cool list is ” Pay by credit card all in one installment” paying your bills on time makes your a bad-ass remember that guys.

This list was comprised by Goo, but translated by whatJapanthinks you can see more here
