Japan home to 541,000 young recluses

Japan has a cultural problem where women near/over 30 are not wanted. Men needs to be from a top company, otherwise no woman wants them. Cultural norms says it's taboo to nor marry anyone that is not Japanese.

When I was dating my ex, who is from Japan, a major part for not settling down with me was because I am not Japanese. She moved back to Japan, couldn't date anyone due to her age (late 20's). She ultimately dated/married a Japanese American and moved back to the US with him. I would imagine her husband being born and raised in America - could care less that she is 29.

Japanese society has mostly memetically accepted the cancerous idea that sex and love are bad or not for them. It's a lack of individual courage and unreasonable standards which result of, or are the consequence of, soft population control, whether intentional/not, collective/individual and necessary/not.

And now you are an expert on a society with hundreds of millions of people that dates back thousands of years. And you can diagnose all of its problems and report back to us. Good thing we have you adding to the conversation.
