Happy Mail, a dating and matching app service with a cumulative membership of 35 million, operated by I-vec Inc. (headquartered in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture), conducted a survey on 100 adult women regarding their views on 'men with no dating experience.'

This survey compiled data on:

* Impressions of men with no dating experience
* Reasons for concern and anxieties
* Points that leave a good impression
* Behaviors to avoid

1. 73% of women care about a man's lack of dating experience
When 100 adult women were asked if they would be concerned if told a man had never been in a relationship, 73 (73.00%) answered yes (58 'somewhat concerned,' 15 'concerned'). Only 27% (27.00%) said they would not care at all, indicating that relationship history is viewed as a criterion for judgment.

2. Personality concerns top the list of anxieties
Among the 73 women who expressed concern, the most common anxiety was 'wondering if there is a problem with his personality' (38 respondents). This was followed by 'worrying that he might not understand a woman's feelings' (23 respondents). Concerns about communication and human nature dominate the results.

3. Positive aspects: 'Sincerity' and 'no comparisons'
For the 27 women who would not care, the most cited positive points were 'sincerity and less worry about infidelity' and 'not being compared to ex-girlfriends' (17 respondents each). Other mentions included 'a pure impression' (14 respondents), showing that inexperience can be seen as a strength.

4. Behaviors to avoid: Self-deprecation and over-bearing advice
When asked about behaviors to avoid, the most frequent answers were 'being self-deprecating and repeating self-insulting jokes' and 'imposing extreme dating knowledge from the internet or social media' (30 respondents each). The survey highlights that how a man approaches his inexperience significantly influences his overall impression.
