- You make it sound like that's a bad thing. Personally I don't see the issue: being single isn't a bad thing, especially if you choose to be that way and you're happy!
I think people everywhere, not just in America, are beginning to realize the perks of being single outweigh being in a relationship. Is that sad? To a degree, yes. But let's look over that article again: people are choose to stay single instead of pursuing relationships. What does that tell you? They're putting their own happiness over chasing after someone that may or may not be right for them. Not to mention, they don't like or want to deal with the dating scene: I don't blame them!!!
Personally I like being a "herbivore."
You carnivores have at the dating scene and all the drama that goes with it. I'm going to spend my Sunday doing what makes my herbivore self happy: playing video games and relaxing :)4|52|3Is this still revelant?Nah, I had pancakes yesterday... oh, I should have taken a picture and shown you and Beauty! I topped them with whip cream and sliced bananas: they were delicious, lol.
This morning I had leftover pizza (which was not very good).- Show All Show Less
Being single does not have perks that outweigh being in a relationship. They both have pros and cons, and they’re generally about equal, and it all comes down to personal preference and values.
I don't like japanese culture I think they are judgmental. I typed this in a post but @coachTanthony deleted it. Shame on him. Japanese people are judgmental to other Asians and are a bad example for other countries. I think their culture is highly overrated. Why are japanese so judgmental?
@Cynicaldreamer maybe because I'm on my mobile I can't see it. I can just see the two Asians sitting together 😢

- Not just the USA, but all developed countries. In fact, while Japan gets all the news, the same pattern of low rates of sexual activity, marriage and childbirth is found in South Korea, Italy, Greece and Germany. The economies of them all have peaked, which means that younger people know that the future will NOT get any better. Also, pornography is available for free in limitless quantities online, and most parents have only one child which they are very overprotective of, because of which they prevent their children from dating until after college.
On the other hand, in countries with rapidly growing economies like China, Vietnam or India, the opposite is happening: young people know the future is going to be better, and so they're celebrating by having lots of sex.0|30|0Is this still revelant?

- Yeah. Typical modern relationships are shit in my opinion. There are only three acceptable options in my opinion.
1. Traditional relationship. No hoes. If a girl slept around then she's not acceptable. If she's not sweet and family oriented it won't go anywhere either.
2. Hugh heffner playboy. If i can't find a good girl, id like 2 or 3 ho girlfriends who i dont need to commit to in a marriage sense but maybe they are serious enough we can live together etc. They can rotate out if better girls present themselves. Only requirements is they are hot and dont annoy me.
3. Just pure single. Putz around here and there with occasional hookups or super casual relationships that will definitely go nowhere on purpose.
No other option is acceptable at all to me.0|00|0Is this still revelant? - Yes. Too many feminists and cucks, gold diggers and simps, and thots and f*ckbois out there making it hard for the normal people who just want to meet someone and enjoy each other's company. We're soon going to be a Children of Men society in the West and most people on Earth will only be Brazilians, Indians, and Chinese.0|00|0Is this still revelant?

929- Yes!! My husband and I talk about this all the time. Will America go the way of Japan?
I hope not. But it's definitely leaning in.0|20|0 - I have no issue finding a guy especially when online dating but I find what makes for initial attraction isn't usually conducive to a long term thing. In all honesty I find it a little repulsive that guys selling points are the size of their equipment and how much money they're earning. I really dislike too that every guy seems to want a kim kardashian type woman/entrepreneur.
Might make me seem like I'm not ambitious but why should I be something other than I'm not, I'm not trying to change you, I'm trying to get yo know you.
Ugh!
I'm tired of people atm.
I'm giving up tbh.
I don't want to be famous.
I also don't want to be some kind of influencer either.
And since I'm dark skinned and a black woman I'm not really saying much for most men anyways.
Except what's between my legs so since I'm not really that interested in it anymore I think I'm kind of happy to look into this lifestyle.0|00|0 
Anonymous8 dFrom a perspective of Japanese living in America- I don't think most people are actually disinterested in sexual activity or relationship stuff in general. They would be more than happy to get a partner and have sex if they could. At the end of the day we all want to love and be loved. It's just that things are more competitive than ever (a bachelors' degree is literally a minimum thing to get a decent job now. It wasn't before.) and most of us are either too busy or too stressed out to be involved in lovey-dovey stuff.
I can't speak of America but from what I've seen, a lot of my American friends in their 20s seem to have a hard time balancing work and their love life.1|20|0Not really. I mean making $18/hour as an electrician isn’t bad. I work factory and though most of my 70k/ years overtime Japanese no stranger to long hours and hard work.
- Opinion Owner8 d
@VanillaSalt I'm aware of people like you who are doing just fine w/o a college degree. I'm just saying that having a degree gives them more career options as most teenagers/20somethings are kinda lost and don't know exactly what they wanna do. Besides, not everyone can become successful as an electrician.
Literally everyone with good studying skills can become an electrician and can make it. Also debt needs to be considered.

- No idea. But I do wonder what's going through the guy's mind in the picture when he sees his presumed "date" doing whatever she's doing. Probably something like, "what the fuck is this broad doing? Is this what's acutally out there nowadays; a bunch of half-retarded girls who take pictures of themselves pretending to eat while being oblivious to everyone else with them? Paaaaaaaass"0|00|0
- I don't care what anyone says. Relationships are not supposed to hurt. If your better off not being in the relationship with the person you are with then it isn't going to work. Another thing is that relationships aren't 50/50. But whatever. Why should I date a guy who says I'm pretty for a black girl when he's black himself? Why can't I just be pretty?0|00|0
- I doubt Americans will ever be similar to the Japanese they are the complete opposite in everything they do.
Japanese people tend to be shy, reversed and have everything small whilst most Americans are friendly, chatty people and have everything big compared to other countries.1|00|0 - It is to a point, men are opting out of relationships because it's safer to do so, to focus on careers, to be able to do whatever they want without having to ask someone else if it's ok.
Females are opting out of relationships as well for careers.0|20|0The difference between Japan and Western countries doing this is that females in Japan have been dubbed carnivorous women, which means as the men no longer hunt or chase to date the females, the females of the country have decided to take on that role, something that won't happen in western countries.
- I don't think being single is all that bad. As a married man, I can honestly say there are pros and cons on each end. You just have to find what's right for you.0|00|0
Anonymous9 dJapanese men are incel without the hate.
Just allow prostitution 95% rather sell their pussy than work.
And if you want kids you can buy a chicks womb.0|20|0They also now have SOLO weddings where the woman who knows it will never happen can do through a day like a Bride without the dude. It's certainly creating business opportunities lol

- Anonymous7 dI do believe it is. I think the single biggest reason is cost of living. The cost of living for general America has gone up but wages have not followed suite. We’re in a time where career comes before relationships and people are ok with that. There’s students loans, careers goals, cost of living and children are very expensive with no return investment as cruel as it may sound. That’s just the tip of the iceberg0|00|0
- Yes I think so. We are focused on our careers and Men play video games.0|30|0
- Anonymous2 dYes, men are uninterested in dating and definitely uninterested in marriage. Why? Here:
#metoo
False accusations
alimony
child support
Divorce rape
paternity fraud
Judicial bias against men
legal protections and most child custody only for women
And on and on and on. After a while, men realize that women are an existential danger to them, and they refuse to date or marry them out of the need for self-preservation.0|00|0 - I wish that people would take time to become good friends first..
I have yet to see that. I see more hook up culture than I do anything else.
More like an orgy pit from ancient Greece0|00|0 - Don't be silly.
America has far more incest and hillbilly attitudes to dating, than Japan.0|00|0 - You mean people are more into their gadgets then into their partners?0|00|0
- If it's about being single... I'd prefer to find someone 🥺😞 hopefully that's still an option0|00|0

@AmandaYVR There have been many theories, including the popularized one about squinty faces people make while orgasming, or that the writer was masturbating to pics of his girlfriend while in jail. However, the writer, Dave Fenton, debunked those theories.
www.songmeaningsandfacts.com/.../- Show All Show Less
I only vaguely knew the song, remembered it somewhat, but my husband and I just happen to talk about it like two weeks ago and he heard that it was about masturbation.
@AmandaYVR I am going to have to "believe" the songwriter himself when he explains his song's meaning, rather than what the urban legend has been built up to mean. Here's a great example of that: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds... obviously about LSD, right? Nope.
To this day, many music fans take it as a given that the title of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is a nod to the songwriter's favorite drug (at least until he discovered heroin in 1968). But John Lennon, who was always very candid about his personal life and drug use, always told a different story. The title, he said repeatedly in interviews, came to him from his four-year-old son Julian, who had brought home a crayon drawing of his schoolfriend Lucy O'Donnell—in the sky, surrounded by diamonds. The verses, about a dreamy riverboat trip, were inspired by Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass. "It's not an acid song," insisted John. Paul McCartney and John's friend Pete Shotton corroborate that story: the title was Julian's, not a drug reference. In fact, the smoking gun here—the classroom drawing itself—still exists. According to Julian Lennon, it's now owned by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd!
- I don't know anything about japan but i am assuming your talking about all the pornstars and hookup artist yea0|00|0
- Eh, in some ways, but hookup culture isn't really prevalent in Japan, since most Japanese people don't lose their virginity until the age of 24.0|00|0
- Excellent question. It certainly seems that way sometimes.0|10|0
- Hedonism and objectification of everyone else isn't just an issue of Japan or USA.0|00|0
- Being single isn't bad. It gives you a lot of time to get comfortable with yourself.1|10|0
- covid turns the entire world into japan, when it comes to this xD0|00|0
- Anonymous7 dsort of in-between. We have one group that gets a lot of sex, dates and fun, and another group that doesn't. I think there are going to be a lot of angyer millennials and zoomers in the next 25 - 30 years.0|00|0
- i think people stopped caring about dating overall, so its either one night stands ( more in western culture ), or not dating, so if people once preferred dating, then nowadays they simply dont0|10|0
- Anonymous1 dHow much money are they spending trying to research this phenomenon?
Here are the two leading causes
1. Feminism
2. Pornography
You're Welcome0|00|0 - Finding a date is easy. It probably won’t be your “soulmate”. But finding someone to go out with usually isn’t crazy difficult.0|00|0
If you've already been on many dates with different women in your life time, you have that experience, so it's not going to be hard. But imagine only dating 0-2 people in years or never having a serious relationship. It's going to feel super hard
- No. I mean we have a % of so-called InCels and other whiners, but I think most people are still interested in partnering up.0|10|0
Interest and ability are two different things I think you’ll find very soon that the rates comparing America to Japan arnt that far off... and with Kamala making prostitution legal... I don’t see why men would want a woman.
- Anonymous8 dI have a hard time believing Japanese women are that whoreish.0|10|0

The Japanese people are polite and hard-working1|10|1 - It’s not that I’m disinterested it’s that it doesn’t feel attainable for me0|10|0
