The latest official statistics to highlight just how lonely the Japanese race has become of late show some 60% of young men apparently have neither girlfriend nor female friends, with women scarcely being any better off…
The Japanese government’s latest white paper on the vexing issue of how the younger generations can be squeezed to pay for the pensions of their elders if they insist on not breeding reveals just how few Japanese now enjoy the company of the opposite sex.
Their findings suggest some 60% of young men now find themselves without the benefit of female friendship or lovers (non-breeding homosexuals evidently being of limited interest).
Even women exhibit a similar trend, with 50% or so having no male friends or lovers.
Despite all this nearly 90% of unmarried 18-39-year-olds still harbour aspirations of marriage.
The government’s rather generous conclusions are that “the number of young people with partners who are marriage candidates is thus limited” and “the difficulty of finding the ‘ideal partner’ is also a factor” – but the reaction online is much more candid:
“You can only despair at findings like these.”
“What happens to that extra 10%…”
“Just go to a soapland every month, who needs a girlfriend.”
“I may be handsome, but 2D is good enough for me!”
“Japan has perfected a society in which you can easily live alone. It’s even cheaper to buy your food in single portions and eat alone.”
“Expectations have gotten too high… you can only expect good things from 2D in the city now.”
“The graphs really tend to suggest women are the main impetus behind this trend.”
“With money and a car you can get a girlfriend! And with a stable job you can get married! The dilemma is that if you have those things you’ll not have any time left to enjoy yourself.”
“They are crazy to expect people to keep breeding in the midst of some radioactive wasteland.”
“Polygamy is the only way to accommodate the uneven distribution of hotness amongst guys.”
“Be warned. Women just demand more money from you once you marry them.”

good news for any foreigners w/ a japanese/asian fetish I guess,lol
Any guy with an asian fetish (though not Japanese obviously) should probably go to China. I hear that's like asain Easy Mode.
But the down side is it involves having to go to China.
Only problem is that those women are usually a picky bunch being outnumbered and all. They could literally choose whomever they want to be with since they are the minority there >.>
Actually the title of this article would more accurately be "40% of Japanese men have Waifus". The 60% of Japanese men who DO have flesh and blood girl friends might also have a Waifu but they wouldn't dedicate nearly as much time on their anime waifu as their real girl friend.
Sorry, I'm not really into necrophilia.
You want to send people to hell what are you the devil?
Apparently the Scarlet Devil.
BA-DUM-TSS!!
I don't think so I've heard really sad things about chinese women taking advantage of lonely american men just to get a greencard
Ukrainian and Russian women supposedly are much worse in that respect.
I don't think I want an exploding waifu, thank you.
That's because Japanese guys make shit boyfriends. They can blame it on the women all they want, but Japanese women do just fine with men of other races.
With the social intricacies of dating in Japan, who can blame them? You can't convince me that it was even more strict in Grandpa's Japan.
Maybe it's the grueling educational system that doesn't allow for proper social development or maybe it's the clash of ancient and modern customs that mesh like two mismatched gears.
Women can always excuse away any wrong thing if it's done by a guy they're attracted to.
The more effort you have to put into a girl liking you, the LESS she thought of you initially.
Women love the guy that other women like, in other words, the guy with the most options.
They only find the top 20% attractive.
BUT
without the suckerdom of the remaining 80%, those women have no "fall-back guy" to tell the sob story of "this hot guy dumped me, now I like guys because of their personality".
That is why women in Japan don't have many men friends: the guys were wise enough to watch how they ACTED, not what they SAID.
Some of the woman in Japan are such introverts themselves they can't even talk to someone properly.
I WANT ONE OF THEM!
Maybe more so beliefs like this.
"..and get arrested right after you spoke to the first Japanese female you met..."
If it's true they all think this way or you really do stand a big chance of getting arrested just trying talk to someone then no wonder they're so messed up socially.
The real issue here is that the guy in the header picture apparently doesn't know what a "mouth" is, as he shoved the straw directly on her nose. Gross.
Well that's probably part of the reasons why he can't find a date.
He can't find a date because he's walking around in public with a friggin' pillow.
It's probably been a long and winding road for him before things have degenerated to that.
Well, compared to the other possible routes for a brain transfusion, this method still has its esthetical advantages.
Maybe if they weren't all into marrying to rich "hot" dude, more women would go for the 60% of single guys.
Modern society is all about individual control and achievement.
People don't like being asked out unless it's someone that they can show off to others. There's no control and achievement in accepting someone's love, so people prefer to chase someone down instead.
It's why women tend to go for jerks. There is achievement and control in managing to rein in a jerk that nobody else could. They can then boast about their dominating victory to their friends.
They won't go out with a random nice guy because that would make them look desperate, and they wouldn't be able to show him off.
Society is fucked.
Guess what? Women do not "go for jerks." ANYONE can act nice and most people do, it's the opposite of acting like an asshole.
If your ONLY quality is being a "nice guy," then you're a loser. No talents, no skills, no drive, why the hell would anyone waste their precious, short lives on "nice guys?"
Why would a women go out with the "nice guy" when there's a "nice guy who's good with cars?" or the "nice guy who's athletic?" or the "nice guy artist?" or the "nice guy that's fashionable?"
Blaming and making excuses is just you trying to justify your pathetic, do-nothing lives.
There's no pity for you, go and do something brag-worthy.
You're the thing that is called in statistics as a "Outlayer". A rare case, a some sort of a misfit and you pretend that your experience can relate to all people. Guess what? It is not.
Why a man should waste his time on turning into a superhero only to impress a moaning and annoying bitch who make mo invesment in the relationship and to make the things worse, she thinks like you? You and the nonsense you spit from your mouth are the very reason why men and women are now alienated. Do us a favor, quit the internet. We don't need a special snowflake like you.
>>Why a man should waste his time on turning into a superhero only to impress a moaning and annoying bitch who make mo invesment in the relationship and to make the things worse, she thinks like you?
And what made you think women are all "moaning and annoying bitch who make mo invesment in the relationship and to make the things worse, she thinks like you?"
To see that this is all you see in women only shows your horizon is as large as a carriage horse's.
So being kind to others is nonsense huh? Do unto others what you'd like others to do unto you.
If you're paranoid that women are leeching opportunists and shun them, you'll attract exactly the people you fear. In short, you're simply digging your own grave.
friend zoned you mad?
Are you sure you didn't confuse modern with modernist?
You watched sexdrive recently?

When younger I always had 3 sometimes 4 girlfriends at a time.
We had a blast, Traveling around, Camping, Rock concerts.
Rarely had arguements, never violence and most stayed close friends for over 20 years.
Later on I would have one girlfriend for 5, 10, 15 years at a time.
Now that I am 60 years old, It is not possible to talk to any woman for 5 minutes before it turns into a nasty disagreement.
And I mean NASTY!
Who the Fck wants someone like that around?
One got super pissed because I did not watch Steven Corbert.... WTF.
At my age I know when I am being an ass. BUT I am putting this all on the women.
TOO MUCH ESTROGEN IS NOT A GOOD THING..
Got more to tell you later.. triti
Maybe if they weren't all into marrying into unrealistic-anime-beauty-looks, more men would go for the 50% of single girls.
Yeah, see how that works?
Oh please. It's scientifically proven that guys usually marry down while women expect to marry up. It's why the two biggest single groups are high educated well earning women and unemployed/low educated men.
The first group would only search for a partner in a very tiny group of similar or higher educated men, men who neither want them nor need them because they don't meet their criteria (looks, age...).
The second because they are usually seen as undesirable and societies outcasts.
You know why I watch anime? It's not for the "unrealistic beauty" -- I can get airbrushed model shots or porn for that.
Anime is the only place where at least some of the female characters are nice.
I've often thought that this explains why the My Little Pony latest version took off among western young males -- they're THAT hungry for any exposure to female characters who are nice and don't spend all their time bashing men. So hungry that even non-human characters will do.
So I guess 10% of Japanese men have multiple girlfriends? How can it be 60% vs 50%? (assuming the data is accurate)
Possibilities:
-Females have non-japanese boyfriends
-Its not always a 50/50 male/female ratio for a countries population.
I'd put my money on the latter.
This is actually a case of limited age bracket. Females have a tendency to date older people, so when you limit the upper age you cut off their boyfriends/spouses/whatever.
Older people tend to have more money since they're more established in their careers and have student loans paid off.
So adds some weight to the money grubber theory?
If true then they'll have to become less racist out of necessity as most of the babies being born won't be of pure Japanese blood.
Partly, this is due to a slight imbalance in the ratio - there are more males than females in Japan. That alone doesn't explain the discrepancy, however. Part, I'm sure, can be chalked up to sampling error, and more can probably attributed to false answers. Part may also be attributable to a percentage of Japanese women who have foreign boyfriends, too. None of this rules out the possibility that a certain percentage of Japanese men have multiple girlfriends, though.
Actually it's China that has that imbalance in Japan the male to female ratio is fairly close to 1 to 1.
i thought its because they are arrested whenever they talk to women...
No; they're arrested for being on the same street as a woman. They're never seen again if they actually had the presumption to talk to one.
That is unless they're a teacher, then its a party as long as your ok with moving.
Doubt they can even get to that point. From what we're always hearing, they can be arrested for just looking towards the direction of a woman, or even being within the vicinity of a woman.
And they fucking wonder why men avoid women like the plague.
Culture has long joked that a LOVING wife closes doors, is a ball and chain, is a nag, and is your boss's boss. "My child rules Persia" or whatever.
Those were the best conditions men would ever see.
Let's generously assume incredible fortune grants me a woman who views marriage not with eyes of social obligation or financial security, just love.
Even then, I still don't make it back up to the nag bosses.
Not anymore. Because I live in the age of litigation, of feminazis, of harassment and abuse accusations, and that's _after_ being cynical enough to regard the shortsighted and shallow as beneath me.
But hey, my observations can't be counted relevant, I have no lab coat.
Even without any of that your loving wife is still a nag boss.
Well, in this age:
Your ovservations can't be counted relevant, you have no vagina.
Just stand up for yourself and show your wife who the boss is. Don't let her boss you around. Well, if she's that kind of woman, just don't marry her in the first place^^ If you still want to be with her, be an asshole and make yourself the boss... many women prefer assholes, who stand up for themselves, instead of being whiny subordinates^^
And all the while she is just one phone call away from putting you in jail for a single slap.
Even if she lets you be the boss, she KNOWS she has the ultimate power in the end.
Not if you go Phoenix Wright on them and corner them on any accusations they throw at you.
Heres a Common FACT: Women love Assholes.
Well, you know what they say.
"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
But we can beat them, they're women.
