Reader’s Question:
Why do people like Manatsu Ashida, Yuzuru Hanyu, and Shiori Sato have such popularity among older women but don’t seem to appeal as much to men? I would like to know the reason behind this.
The Dark Charisma That Attracts the Opposite Sex
Recently, I discussed the popularity of Manatsu Ashida, Yuzuru Hanyu, and Shiori Sato with a friend.
While they enjoy immense support from older women, I pondered why they don’t resonate as much with men. Ultimately, I concluded that perhaps they lack a bit of mischief. For example, take Manatsu Ashida. Her cuteness and intelligence certainly attract many people. However, she may not appeal to men who seek a more ‘loli’ charm. I have even had conversations at my part-time job where we excitedly said, “Manatsu-chan is a genius!” My colleagues also showed interest in her character and demeanor, but I felt that the overwhelming perception of her as “cute” made them view her less as a romantic interest.
The Narcissism of Yuzuru Hanyu
Next is Yuzuru Hanyu. A friend pointed out that he might not be popular because he comes off as a narcissist. Indeed, his performances and demeanor exude a strong sense of self-assertion. When I watched his skating, I was both overwhelmed and thought, “Is he a bit too in love with himself?” Narcissism could be a factor that men tend to shy away from.
The Mystery of Shiori Sato
As for Shiori Sato, I don’t know much about her either. I did some research to explore her appeal, and I found her unique aura and presence to be quite striking. Still, the lack of men feeling a special attraction to her might stem from being “too ordinary.” If there isn’t something distinctive about a person, it may be challenging to capture a man’s interest.
Reflecting on My Own Experiences
Through this discussion, I recalled my own experiences. In school, the girl who was popular among my classmates had a slightly dark vibe. She always looked around with a cold gaze, which made her intriguing in a way. Conversely, the bright and cheerful girls were often liked but not always seen as romantic options. In the end, it may require a touch of “naughtiness” or a “dark” aspect to appeal to the opposite sex. What do you all think? I would love to hear about the attractive people in your lives in the comments. What made them appealing, and what stories do you have? I’m curious!
