I heard a while back that the Japanese were getting concerned because young people didn't want to get married anymore but I didn't realize they quit everything. 25% of 20-30 year olds?

Interesting. Saw the news discussion this morning. I think there is a trend like that in many of the Western countries too but not anywhere near that severe. What did they make of it in the discussion you watched? More isolation and less personal interaction in this electronic age?

Wording this carefully-- with interviews, men felt girls were "scary", and women felt men were too busy with "p**n" to be bother with dating. The country appears to have an extreme liking for p**n. Careers play a role too. Marriage and sex just isn't part of lifestyle. Consensus is that things have to change, as there is a shift in population- more elderly than babies.

A lot of the baby bust with Millenials can just be choked up to how much uncontrolled inflation has happened since your guy’s generation, many feel it’s too expensive to have children. I don’t know about Japan’s economy, but I read an article in 2016 about inflation over there as well. Just my thoughts. I haven’t read the article yet. Plus the fact that Japan itself is very oriented with having good careers and is very materialistic. As for what spideyman said, men finding girls scary is definitely on the mark, lol, I think it’s because traditionally men are expected to have a lot on their shoulders when it comes to relationships and it can be scary at a young age, especially in a very formal country like Japan, they’re always expected to be the asker-outers and the arrangers. Girls finding men to be too busy watching p**nography is a bit of a strange argument, because Japan, like any country where a majority of citizens have access to the internet, has a lot of young people, boys and girls alike, entertaining themselves with p**nographic content, I dunno where to go from there.

God, that’s sad. It survived two World Wars only to get destroyed in a renovation fire.
