#2Wow, that's quite a list of demands.
Is this a more common thing with Japanese women, do they go into dating with a very specific set of criteria rather than "winging it" as western women would?
"Someone who plays at most only 1 hour of videogames a day, or at most only 30 minutes of TV."
Most good TV shows are at least an hour long per episode, I assume you have to split them over 2 days.

I find many western women are quite specific also, and men too. Treating potential mates as a checklist instead of unique individuals seems to be a global problem.

White women make up such lists of demands too, I have read several. It is sort of funny and sort of self-directed/self-indulgent. If you don't like it, then obviously you should not apply for the position ;)

#6First time I saw this, I actually thought this was a repost of the gay guy on github who had a list of requirements for a boyfriend so I didn't read it.
Normally women keep this sort of list as a secret hidden agenda which we're meant to guess. Nice to see some transparency. ;-)

#9> "Someone who can tolerate social gaming companies like Zynga..."
Welp, most of us on HN are out of the running! ;)
But in all seriousness, am I the only one that thinks this is just ridiculous? It would have been funny and one thing had it been a joke, but this just seems crazy to me. Maybe it's because I'm only 23 and I'm not that "desperate". Or maybe it's cause I'm very social and rarely have troubles finding dates or new people to meet, but I just can't imagine ever trying to get an actual date or make a real connection with someone from an absurd list of demands/requirements like this.
Plus, using github in this way just annoys me a bit. There are plenty of free dating sites out there (Okcupid, for example) where you could find mates that meet your "needs" or are compatible with you. Using github like this (again, if it was a joke, that would be one thing) just screams "I'm desperate" or "I want attention for using github to find a date." Github has drink-ups and meet-ups if you want to meet other people on there or similar to you, as well!
