I really don't know, I've never wanted a relationship, and I don't think I'll ever look for one so I don't really have any 'standards'...

I honestly think I might like them a little more actually if I met them in real life because they wouldn't be the 'idols' but people. I like people more than gods^^, but I don't think they'd be completely real to me unless I ever did meet them.

Personally.. No..

My BF and I are already three years now and we''re still going stronger. Never did I raised my standards on him (or to any people in particular).. Seriously.. I mean, my BF had it's own uniqueness and so does Arashi members so comparing him would be unfair.. Lolz!

I don't tend to compare others to Arashi because Arashi (AMNOS) will always be Arashi and they are unique in those ways ^^ Same goes for other people.. If for example I don't have a BF and someone would be courting me, I wouldn't still compare him to any Arashi members ^^

~.^

I'm also another one who chose the "No" option.

The person that I'm with is really the opposite in terms of looks compared to the members of Arashi (and other JE groups).

Whereas, the effeminate pretty boys alway tend to catch my eye...whether if i's their androgyny or maybe their beautiful features, in real life, my husband is far from being beautiful or androgynous.

He's good-looking......in a masculine way...and every physical attribute of his just screams, "manly".

That might be a very sexist or stereotypical way of thinking, but for some reason, I just can't help but think those thoughts.

ah, but that has never stopped me from appreciating a good-looking metrosexual when I see one.

Hmm... a little. From time to time, I would want to see a little Arashi resemblance in the guys I like. Somehow, I want the guys around me to be more like Arashi like as educated as Sakurai, as baka as Aiba, as sexy as MatsuJun, as playful as Nino and as kind as Ohno.

*reads the list again*

That kind guy is definitely never gonna appear in my life!!! Forget it! I'll just continue with my Arashi fandom till the end~~

hi everyone ^^

i'm a newbie and it's my first post here :p i hope i can be your friend

anyway, about the topic...


i can say that arashi has raised my standards! XD

and while reading your posts, i can relate to your stories 'cuz i do the same thing! XD

they havent really raised my standards i guess cuz they have all the qualities that i was already looking for in a guy.

it's more like they reopened my eyes to how cute japanese guys are. my best friend and first crush/love of my life was half japanese but then i lost touch with him and pretty much every guy after him was white or mexican. ever since arashi i've been noticing asian guys more often.

if you could take all five of them and smush them into one really hot guy then that would be my ideal.

i guess lil by lil my standardz do rise from their influences
i'll want to noe sumone that can as entertaining nd good-looking as Arashi ^^
but in sum way...guys that u c everyday arent the same compare to Arashi memberz...i mean...theyre idols after all
u c them as singers nd performers...but for regular guys u c the real sides of them in real life nd get to noe them better personally
so i guess theres a difference btwn wut u look for in guys we c everyday nd members of Arashi

Reading everyone's POV is really interesting. This is a good topic.

This is so true for me. ahahahah. All the guys at my school seem so boring compared to Arashi. And no one has such interesting hair cuts.
There's also the fact that Arashi is so overall talented. No one I've ever met can dance as well as Ohno, or crack me up as much as Nino does. Plus I don't think that anyone in the world would understand my baka-ness as much as Aiba would. lol

Oh wow... I was just thinking the exact same thing for the past few weeks and then I came upon this thread! I must agree. Arashi seems to have raised my standards when it comes to guys. I noticed that before Arashi, I had "real" guy crushes, the ones that you could really reach for. But when Arashi came into my life, when I started listening to their music, watching their variety shows and dramas, I felt that the guys that I see are just, guys. I don't know, it's hard to explain it as if each member of Arashi has their own unique intelligence, humor, talent that endears them to me that I have yet to see in the guys that I see in my everyday life.

I just graduated from university and I'm going to take up medicine so that would take me five years more of school and everytime I meet up with my friends, the topic would be on our love lives. Some are happy in a relationship, some are lamenting over the fact that they are not in a relationship while I do not feel anything. As in nothing.

I think that I'm still waiting for that *special* guy who is (of course!) not any of the Arashi members but someone who remotely resembles one of them.

Jeeezzz... It actually scares me because what happens if I do not meet that kind of guy? I don't want to end up single forever!

P.S. Sorry for the long post... I got carried away with the topic. o_O

Hmm...I'm not completely sure. I definitely look at guys differently now. I'll look at a guy and think I'm interested, but then suddenly I'll think something like "Not half as hott as Jun." "Not even moderately Aiba-kawaii." "Sho is x25852 smarter." I don't notice as many guys as I used to.

But then, I still end up liking guys who are WAY beneath the Johnny scale. I like to think that Arashi are so so so real to me, but sometimes I feel like it would be so hard to get a guy who's like any of the members, and then Arashi becomes more "ideal" than real. =/

As for mine... I think NO


It is because... Arashi is Arashi and also their attitudes or virtue signifies their way of living not just their living but also...


Their Birthday and year reflects to a corresponding ASTROLOGY which connects on how are they now or how they deal with their daily life...


I haven't raised my standard but they teach me some lesson from their TV shows / dramas / movies... which makes me love them also their skills... are sometimes their hobby...
