  1. Reasons to have kids >you have a nurturing nature and want to help a child to navigate the world with fulfillment and joy Reasons not to have kids >for social status/feeling you're just supposed to have children >to keep a man/woman in your life >to have someone to take care of you

  2. The insecurities people (women and men) feel about their looks is a big reason for why so many people check out of dating now a days, there is just so much pressure in this society to be perfect

  3. You'd think companies would want to hire them for any type of human relations/hospitality jobs due to their looks and enhanced people skills
    535
  4. I don't know how these girls in Jpop and Kpop can perform so much while consuming so little calories, they must be dizzy and tired constantly
    158
  5. The systems in "developed" countries have pushed people so much with work hours, inflation, horrible city planning and general greed at the top that people don't see any hope for brining children into the world just to be work slaves, especially women who tend to think more longterm about their childrens furture

  6.  @Saberdud  this, I was surprised to see in those "talk to Japanese" videos how many people (both men and women) don't consider it cheating if it's done with a sex worker

  7. The lack of chivalry culture seems to be a common reason why Japanese women are put off from Japanese men; can't even count how many videos I see where they talk about seeing Westerners hold doors open for women or pull seats out for them on dates and wish Japanese men were like that

  8.  @ChristopherCricketWallace  eh in the West you are definitely not encouraged to be pure and unexperienced before marrying, it's literally the opposite, and yet we have the same problems with low birth rates as Japan does. The amount of sexual partners a person has doesn't make them better at finding a compatible person to be with

  9. it clearly wasn't just the cheating, her mom said she wished her daughter was never born, that would turn any child against their parent
    48
  10.  @wing2300  wtf
    45
  11. this, there is lack of bonds from the start because most people idealized love as being about desire and butterflies in the stomach, they then build a fantasey of the person in their head only for reality to come crashing down when the desire wears off
    41
  12. What a horrible situation for children to grow up in, no wonder so many chose to not even bother daing/marrying when they were exposed to such corruption and deception
    37
  13. probably similar to the George C Scott scene in Hardcore when he discovers his daughter is doing porn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u7Pv1lAqD4

  14.  @DontKnowDontCare6.9  the fan obsession is part of the downsides of being an idol since these girls are not making enough to have security with them
    28
  15.  @LadyAliset  "The main problem here, I believe, is the financial dependence of wives on their husbands" to an extent I agree but dependency is more then financial. My parents hated eachother but stayed together simply due to dependency and lack of motivation to change their lives, that the real motive behind "stay together for the kids". People can get comfortable in a cesspool if it becomes routine
    21
  16. I think that is true for some but not always. For a lot of women it's not simply about being able to fend for themselves but wanting a certain lifestyle aka gold diggers
    20
  17. there is a belief that if you are the best looking and most successful person no one will ever cheat on/leave you and that is very false. Being "high status" just gives you more options but it doesn't guarantee you a real bond
    19
  18.  @jacobblanton5179  why should women have to do all the labor of raising a child while a man is only expeced to work about 8 hours a day? Being a parent is 24/7 you don't even get time off
    19
  19.  @yobro6053  yep exactly, that's why I admire these tribe in the middle of nowhere who know nothing about the industrial world
    18
  20. yeah don't sign any contracts without getting a lawyer to look over them
    17
  21. it's not just a Japanese thing, most kids are not comfortable talking about family issues with their friends because they fear being judged. I know I felt really broken and dirty coming from a toxic family so it was something I tried hard to conceal
    16
  22.  @hopeintruth5119  The average American like other common Western people had no say on if they wanted to be a "melting pot" and no it hasn't made our countries better and is why China and Russia will dominate us

  23. It's hyper capitalism “Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.” ― Theodore Kaczynski

  24.  @jw841  I'm white and grew up as minority too but in my own country around mainly black and brown foreigners before "woke" culture was a thing and it was terrible. Maybe it's because I'm a girl and not a guy idk but I would never encourage anyone to experience the horrors of living around these groups on mass
    11
  25. I'm sorry, if you are a white person in Australia I doubt you will receive any help from the government, do you have any friends or family that you can stay with?
    11
  26.  @BOTS_R_US  there is too many people coming at a time, that is the complaint, it is adding to overcrowding which makes life for the locals horrible; I know this feeling too since I'm from a city where our government brings in over a million new residents a year
    10
  27.  @MNkno  " you're a member of a family because your mom/dad are members of the family, not because of which side of the street your mom was standing on" yep same goes for all the non-Europeans in Europe who larp like "I'm just as French/German/British/Swedish as you", consuming the same products/culture doesn't change your DNA
    10
  28. my parents would always try to one-up my problems with their own so I stopped expecting any sort of nurturing from them
    10
  29.  @romancetips365  it's lack of motivation, you had goals and a reason to go out and do something or at the very least feel a connection with modern society that he doesn't
    10
  30. no there are TOO MANY people going to Japan that is the problem, I just checked the numbers and over 25 MILLION people visited in 2023, that is unbareable for natives to deal with especially in places that are already heavily crowded
    10
  31. I like that one guy who is just casually carrying an iguana with him

  32.  @ephionis  good to hear, hopefully with the boomers dying off this die for work culture changes more
    9
  33. it's not just Japan this is a global problem; the majority of jobs do not compensate their workers and whever they do they take it out on the public rather then from their own pockets
    9
  34. 70 men to 10,000, still shit pay. I guess supply and demand doesn't apply here
    8
  35.  @Gaish  That's because Asians seen what the darker races did to the West and don't want a repeat in their motherlands
    8
  36.  @0utrunner237  they have to interact with people as idols, know how to put on a good face so to speak
    8
  37.  @InfernosReaper  rural areas and small towns have a huge problems with deaths of despair too, just look into the opioid problem
    8
  38.  @devon6039  it's public for Japanese not for foriegners, they never asked to be swarmed with endless streams of outsiders
    7
  39.  @simon-croft  "quality fathers" are very rare it's mainly women who do the housework and child care even if they too work full time
    7
  40. lol most men barely raise their own kids right now
    7
  41.  @InfernosReaper  btw I should add that Japan has been suffering a lot of the same issues as American rural peoples in that their jobs were outsourced after the Plaza Accord which has obviously hurt manual laborers the most
    7
  42.  @hopeintruth5119  your views are less popular with normal people then mine : )
    7
  43.  @seekYeshua_777  Isreal is allowed to function like a real country while the same people who have dual Isreal passports don't allow any other country to function like anything else but a business

  44.  Commie Hammer  based!

  45.  @Pimentel-Kreations  that's because the Americas are colonies so only Native Americans are native and everyone else is of mixed ethnic groups from aboard

  46.  @tomservo5007  consuming the same products doesn't make you a part of an extended family
    6
  47. 3:20 do I even want to know what fetish this is?
    6
  48.  @blazingfire_0712  sort of, Japanese seem to still marry for conveinence rather then love, so there is like an agreement that the man provides and the woman cleans house and gets to have children. When there is no bond people don't care about cheating
    6
  49.  @1000OtherFoxes  the thing is, it's hard to judge what your level is when you already have a poor self image I mean, just look at how many attractive people have self-confidence issues and eatting disorders, meanwhile there are unattrative confident people who act like they are the shit
    6
  50. it's the classic "grass is greener" tail matched up with not understanding foriegn cultural norms
