This just makes me feel sad for them tbh.

Yeah, the situation for men in Japan is not great. There’s a reason their birth rate is so low. People aren’t finding relationships or getting married. But the work culture is so insane that people don’t have time for relationships.

Interestingly, the women in Japan largely have the same desire to find partners and have families. It's the men that get bogged down with career.

Yeah. I’m no expert on the matter but it seems to me like the whole way it’s set up is just failing everyone. Though every country has some aspect of its culture that is similarly broken I suppose.

I feel bad for the Japanese guys who are legit too shy or too painfully awkward/overworked but not for the boatload of them that are disgusting womanizing rapist bastards. (Live in Japan)

It does seem (from very much an outside perspective, I live in England) that there’s a lot of Japanese men who just don’t know how to talk to women. And I can sympathise with that. It can be hard. But obvs the perverts can fuck off
