70% of Japanese Men Have No Girlfriends

New data suggests 70% of unmarried Japaneses men in their twenties and thirties have no girlfriend, with an alarming jump of 20% in just three years for men in their twenties.
A similar figure holds true for women, with some 64% of women in the same age groups single.
The data comes from a survey asking unmarried Japanese aged 20 to 40 whether they were dating anyone, with data extending back over a decade:
Economic conditions may be one reason for the sudden increase in singles, particularly where younger, more financially vulnerable men are concerned – with dismal earnings prospects amidst a stagnant Japanese economy, such men know they have no chance of securing a wife or family, and may not even be able to afford the expense of a girlfriend.
However, this does not effectively explain the long term nature of the increase over more than a decade; it seems likely more profound social and economic factors may be at play, with many surveys citing an increase in the expectations of women with regard to their partner’s earnings as a key factor…

Honestly, I start to pity them. They're on a straight ride to extinction...
Don't be mistaken. Just because the men and women aren't in a relationship, doesn't mean they're not getting laid. Well, at least for my friends in Japan. F*ck buddies are so much better, anyway.
mmm pregnency.
oh wait, wut?
It's hard to find true love nowadays...
I see handsome guy & beautiful girl on a date but they are 2 of the 30%... God made 70% ugly, why...
All guys (handsome & ugly) want beautiful GF.
All girls (pretty & ugly) want handsome BF.
30% of the handsome men and pretty women are good looking and in relationships.
70% are the uglies and refuse to accept another ugly opposite sex...
Please make my statements above wrong, I want people to change their judgments & lower their expectations...
According to all the anon posts you are right.
fuck you k!, its pretty true, i might be ugly but i wont go out with an ugly bitch
If my bf would leave me because I get old or fat, why shouldn't I gold dig him?
^And from the sound, you're an Asshole too. She wasn't even being rude. So you definitely will be alone.
"70% are the uglies and refuse to accept another ugly opposite sex..."
If you find another person ugly, then what you're saying is that they are not attractive to you. Why would people date other people they aren't attracted to? That really doesn't make any sense. Yeah, I know you think you're making some kind of deep philosophical point here, but you're not. Ugly people don't just 'magically' find other ugly people more attractive simply because they are ugly themselves. That's actually a pretty stupid thing to think.
Lower expectations? You say that on the assumption that the other sex is actually looking for a partner. The investment of time and money seems too great for the return, and now that people aren't having the traditional nuclear family ideal shoved down their their throats as much, less are willing to go to the same lengths to take a one in a thousand shot at building a successful relationship.
how about free plastic surgery in japan lol that will fix everything...

visual beauty does not equal attractiveness.
My college roommate expressed something like this when he said, "You know that high-school friend of yours, Ellen? She looks pretty plain at first, but the more you talk with her, the better-looking she gets!"*
*disclaimer:
There were no mind-altering substances involved in these conversations.
I would be happy with someone who is ugly, but not fat. Beautiful people are treated differently from birth and have a personality that I find unbearable. No drinking, no drugs, no smoking, no religious, new age, or astrological bullshit--these are the sticking points for me personally. That and demanding reasonable BMI and no existing children is enough to make me an inelligible bachelor at 31yrs. Are these really unreasonable demands?
For western women, yes. You need to lower your standards. You should be happy to cuckold yourself with an obese neurotic who has children from multiple fathers serving jail time.
Your demands have eliminated about 95% of women in the US.
out of this survey I realized something.... 2D > 3D is actually somewhat social law in Japan O.o Just go and look at the graphs for the other poles... 2D = Cheaper and still fappable...
How do you make a baby out of ur 2D wife :) ?
"Your demands have eliminated about 95% of women in the US."
Apparently you live in the Midwestern United States, or you've never actually been to this country.
Either way, jump off...
"Apparently you live in the Midwestern United States, or you've never actually been to this country.

So you've courted a large array of women that met all of your many demands and still struck out? I wonder why...
Either that, or the quantity of losers is increasing rapidly im modern society.
Or so I heard, compare to a god digger and easily dated girl friend/wife f*ck buddies are surely better. Why you need to stress out your self by chained with a woman just because you want to get laid, most woman turn out to be ugly bitch after their get married anyway.
your sick dude, i pretty sure you yerself cant even survive a day in japan, prob end up in the alley getting fuck like a lil bitch!!! YOU COLD BLODDED LOW LIFE
yeah fuck buddies are alright. i think they are more openminded and honest than those merry couples telling each other lies every day.
everybody lies !
Low birth rate: Serving overdevelopted nation since 1979
You did notice that the females in their twenties had a similar increase as guys in their twenties?
The lack of balance would be the 30% rich guys dating more than one girl.
Corporate Sugar-Daddies FTW? o_0
yup they might be rotating between like 5 girls each
That's a definite WIN.
in less than 100 years Japanese population will decline by 1/3. Even if every Japanese couple had 2-3 kids it's too late to stop it, they have to start allowing millions of immigrants into Japan or they are simply going to die out.
Maybe if they did something to lessen the number of Japanese that commit suicide every year, the population wouldn't be in such crisis...
Yeah, even my japanese teacher which is japanese said so.. well, game industries need to add "this is only a game, you need to stop playing sometime, get out from your room and search for real girl friend, some of them could be as pretty as this games girls or else your race might be extinct"..
on the other hand, due to the increasing popularity of japanese women, they're being stolen by outsiders too.
I seriously doubt many "outsider" would agree to having all their earnings being managed by women and receive only pocket money in return.
Not for too long with "outsiders" learning about their gold digging ways.
oops damn page didn't load and end up with duplicated post...ignore this.
If that means you got a pretty girl making lunch, dinner and breakfast for you, keeps the house clean and bedroom tidy not to mention she would please you at night, and possibly day, someone might agree.
Not to mention a large amount of money would go to lingerie, make up and similar, for the girl to look good for the guy.
"If that means you got a pretty girl making lunch, dinner and breakfast for you, keeps the house clean and bedroom tidy not to mention she would please you at night, and possibly day, someone might agree"
Unfortunately you have just basically described why people are into 2D instead 3D...because ideals qualitiess that you mentioned tend only exist in 2D girls, while it is generally absent in real women these days (thank gender equality for that).
"on the other hand, due to the increasing popularity of japanese women, they're being stolen by outsiders too."
yeah right, as if that could be true for any place let alone a country like Japan. Don't believe that crap.
I guess you did not think of that unless your face doesnt look like a million buck its hard to reel in women unless you choose someone u would rather poke your eyes out than look straight at them.
yeah by the less than 2% of foreigners that are even in Japan, even less if you count that most foreigners dont earn enough to be considered a husband (English teachers/Brazilian working in car factory)
With all the rap there is bound too get more japanese people somehow =P
John B. Calhoun is probably saying from the afterlife Will Smith's line from I robot "Somehow saying I told you so just doesn't say it."
This was predicted in an experiment called the mouse universe.
I had the misfortune of watching a vid of it when I was 10 and it was nightmare fuel.
Holy shit...
I just read up on that stuff...not nice...
Dunno why that's down here, that was a reply to Char
Interesting stuff, thanks for the mention
Extinction is not only a good thing, is a thing everyone NEED to do right now!
I'm doing my part, I never had a gf before, I don't know what a true gf is like, I only had friend-only relashionship, and I'm almost 40yo. ;-) I'm NOT planning to make any baby too.
By 2050 the world will pass 9 billion people on earth, and that world will be THOUSAND times worst than WWIII (yes, three).
Check it out, and get out of ignorance:

But AIDS will take care of them before 2050
No joke, do you know how much AIDS there is in Africa and India?
At least they didn't kill most of their females off at birth.
Being a single parent with dead-end job is not funny.
Getting laid is one thing, but if you can't take responsibility for the child then...
