How did weddings work in Japan?
Formerly, the weddings were made by omiai [お見合い] that is, it was the parents who decided who their children should marry. Even today, although rare, some parents still like to meddle in their children's relationships.
Today, parents decide “only” to study, save money (who can) for college (expensive). And they invest in their male and female children. Even today, those who marry in Japan are aware that they are also marrying into the family.
In the past, women were also submissive, they even walked behind their husbands. As the intellectual level of women is high, they become independent soon. They can work and support their lifestyle.
For men to conquer this new generation of women is increasingly difficult. Aside from games and gambling, Japanese men have some habits that don't suit women with a high level of critical thinking.
Some Japanese women have become so focused on themselves and their careers that they are not interested in family life, especially when they are younger. Some decide to get married only after 30 or 40.
The Japanese didn't choose their spouses in the past, and they don't today!
Prostitution makes the Japanese single
Prostitution in Japan and exposure of adult content hinders both men and women from having a relationship and getting married in Japan. Firstly, many men are addicted to adult content, including cartoons, which ruins their social life.
About 10% to 25% of the Japanese female population are believed to work in a sector related to pornography, tracking, cafes or bars. Even if the work has no relationships, there are still consequences.
Consequently, there is an increasingly materialistic segment of Japanese society that spends years renting out their bodies. Which can make the idea of marriage and children “inconvenient”. Many young women are materialistic and do everything for money.
Fortunately, many of these women somehow return to decent jobs and social respectability, although many of them are already permanently mentally damaged and are less likely to have a normal marriage or children.
Others simply satisfy their sexual desires by consuming such material and using toys that are quite popular and high-tech that provide unique pleasure, taking away the need for a serious relationship or marriage.
On the other hand, many Japanese people don't even care about sex. Japan is so hectic full of entertainment and different and unique places that there is no time to think about these things.
Japanese people don't need a relationship to be sexually satisfied!
Work disrupts Japanese relationships
Despite the generalizations, the Japanese actually tend to work a lot, in their spare time they prefer to drink and rest. Even those who don't work overtime end up keeping their minds busy at work. work.
Japanese women also prefer men with stable employment and a higher educational level than theirs.” This idea ends up creating a gigantic barrier between men and women, in a country where most people are educated.
Many workers in Japan do not have a steady job, the proportion of temporary workers exceeds 40%, which leaves many uncertain whether to engage in a relationship and support a family.
Many people found their future spouses in the workplace, but the increase in job insecurity doesn't help. Even though it's possible to find a spouse at work, another thing that gets in the way of Japanese people dating is shyness.
If a man earns less than a woman in Japan, he probably won't be able to marry her!

Shyness - The Biggest Enemy of Japanese Singles
In Japan men are extremely shy, sometimes much more shy than women. They can be great salespeople and have good social communication, but when it comes to women they are super shy and don't know how to behave.
Shyness totally blocks a possible relationship on both sides. As long as one doesn't have the initiative, things will never go towards dating and marriage. At least one kiss is necessary to arouse the desire to have a relationship.
Shyness is a big challenge for couples in Japan, due to the culture, things like holding hands and kissing in public can be quite rare. Even when they are alone, the couple may have difficulty initiating a kiss.
Shyness ends up being so great that even perverts from Japan are arrested not for rape but for stealing panties or doing other things that don't involve sex between 2 people.
If there is no initiative, there will be no relationship!
Japanese think it's better to be single
Some make the excuse that it's better to be single and not have any expenses or problems. Many think that maintaining a relationship is something mendokusai [めんどくさい], that is, something problematic and laborious.
Those Japanese who seek to enter into a relationship for the sake of romance and love, end up creating disappointments, as real life is not the same in movies and anime. Many who married this idea end up getting divorced.
Generally the Japanese choose not to be alone when they need a partner and they know how difficult it is to spend a life alone. Unfortunately they realize this too late, try to enjoy their youth and forget to find someone.
Passing 30 in Japan is also staying for uncle (a)!
Is it easy to be single in Japan?
It's actually very easy to get involved in a relationship in Japan. Aliens do well when trying to find and conquer a japanese. They lack attention from Japanese men, so only those who want to stay single.
The same goes for women who want marry a japanese. Sometimes you need to take the initiative, provoke, be direct with your feelings, just be prepared because some Japanese people are really cold or don't express their feelings.
I hope this article has clarified that the difficulties of maintaining a relationship in Japan are posting by the Japanese themselves. Be aware that it's not absolute, in Japan you find all kinds of people who face everything.
