@Whitetiger187 How many women were in this video? 5? 10? Let's be generous and say 20. The population of Japan is ~123*10^6 55% of it is women, so that comes down to 67,65 million. The sample size is 0,00003% It is also a completely generic sample with no regard of a multitude of factors. (Like the difference between women who live in capital vs in cities vs in countryside) "hOw Is iT a GEnERaLiZAtiON" <--- That's you "There are many women who end up single because of high standards" Except the statistics shown at the start (which is weird btw) says otherwise. And if it was true, then there is no problem. Correct consequence for a choice. So I don't get what weight it's supposed to add to your point.

@lornam1142 Please note that what you've said doesn't contradict what I've stated. Here in the EU laws regulate it, which you looked up, confirmed true. And then I said in my country and what you said is "minimum 14 weeks" I'm not a lawyer, so I talked to some about this and of course know people who are doing this and it is pretty much 2 years and they doubled down on it. I would advise you to go and search the country-specific legal documentation, but not sure where you can find it in english and I doubt your want to try to figure hungarian out. My conclusion was that if I tried to build a small business, I would have to make sure that the key positions are as unattractive for women to take as possible. Otherwise they take it and I can't discriminate against them, but then I run the risk of them getting pregnant and going away for 2 years or more. Which would force me to hire someone else into the position with the caveat that after however much time the lady decides to come back I would have to fire them. If I can fire them for this reason, which I might couldn't meaning I would need to somehow make room for both of them. One way or another her baby would be my business too and I don't want any kids to begin with.

Wait, how can this be? If your economy is strong, but your youth suffers, then something is rotten. I feel like there might be a complex or alternatively stupidly simple underlying issue which fucks with people over there. For my country it's simple, it's corruption and incompetence.

In reality, one of these girls is into the gentle giant type and most of the rest are thinking of viking marauders coming to take them away.

@Whitetiger187 Feels like an overgeneralization to me, to be honest. Also I have to assume that the trend looks like this because there are men who prefer it this way. Otherwise we would just see a crapton of single women wondering why they can't get a man, no?

I dislike how the comment thread is basically losers complaining that they lost a game they played on their own volition. This "Woman bad, poor guys sad." content that floats around nowadays gets irritating too. There are genuine issues of course and I bet there are a lot of women who are insufferable and shallow, but why even compete for women like that? We also have to accept that technically one really rich dude could have several wives with several children and this was the way things went in the past too.

@sor3999 I see your point, unfortunately you've missed mine. I deliberately added explonation why I called them losers. They actively played the dating game and they lost it. The very definition of being a loser. You've jumped to the conclusion that I'm here to throw insults. I can totally face reality, but you would have to actually show me, no? I believe that there are women with unreasonable standards and expectations, but why do you want to date women like that? And if you don't, then what is the problem? You understand that if most women have unreasonable expectations most men can't clear then most of these women would stay single, no? But here, specifically, the topic is how MEN can't marry / find a partner and not women. Again, the sample size is extremely small if you would have any conclusion from it then I would also suggest that it seems to me that most women interviewed here could be considered conventionally attractive while most men interviewed are not. So maybe, just maybe another factor is that these unattractive guys also have their own standards. And that is okey, but then both sides have to accept tat you either clear the bar or you learn how to live in solitude.

All of this is based on personal subjectivity. Japan was bombed because the US had nukes, was in war with Japan and due to the sneak attack on Pearl Harbour and it's media coverage it became acceptable to drop the nukes. That's it. Your Grandma did not hate the US, because she associated the bombs with war and she couldn't associate the war and for her war was more like a natural disaster than something man-made. And the soldiers on the street could be nice they could be also horrible. Your luck on which ones you get. And Japan got aid, because it benefited the US, not because they were nice. Also it's worth noting that the bullet in the chamber does not care for the feelings against your target. Nation aren't using nukes because it's a horrible weapon, but because fear of M.A.D. I think it's actually reasonable to burn a city of 10.000.000 if the result is that one less soldier dies on my side, simply because I have to duty or responsibility for the 10M while I do for that single one. (Assuming I was invested with such responsibility) I also feel that it would do a great direspect to my ancestors if I deny their actions. I'm where I am and my culture still exists because my ancestors put arrows into a LOT of people, it is what it is.

It seems like you guys need to chill the fuck out. All that stress is most probably bad for your health.

Wait what. Sorry I'm only at the start of the video, but the statistics...how come? The difference between japan's men vs women population is less than 5 percent. Assuming you really need one of both for marriage, it makes very little sense to have significantly more unmarried men. If 50% of men are married, so are 50% of women. The rest, completely agree, nobody wants all that stress and torture, well I guess we arrived at a stage where we find out at what stress level overtakes the biological directive of reproduction.

@lornam1142 Here in the EU, laws regulate this, in my country a woman can go on 2 years of paid leave to have a child and if they decide they can have another for another 2 years. Their job position has to be kept up and guaranteed for them when they decide to return to work. I personally think it as ridicolous and if I ever tried to make a business I wouldn't hire any women, which is also illegal so I'm not going to do any business. But it certainly helps in this regard.

@lornam1142 I agree with you, and I tried to look into it a bit, and most of it is unpaid leave which is substituted by government programs, of which there are many. Again, the mother cannot be fired from their position for the entire duration and even before the birth. 24 weeks paid leave and then unpaid leave up until the child reaches age 3. The 24 weeks and first 6 months of unpaid leave also count towards paid leave and is as if she was actually working. So it's not like the company has to pay for 4 years to somebody who isn't working whatsoever, but the baby is still becoming the company's business as all the benefits are guaranteed by law. So for instance let's say I employ a woman in a high importance, skilled and responsible position. Very good. Except she decides it's time to pop out a fresh human so she goes away, I pay her salary for 24 weeks or however long I have to then I have to hire someone else for that job with the caveat that her return has to be guaranteed. And then she isn't there to do this important job for 2-3 years or even more, after which she returns, but surprise, she has a child now who requires a lot of care so she is missing way more days due to it. Obviously she would prioritize her family over my business, but that doesn't stop her family becoming a problem for it, as now she is way less reliable to perform these tasks. I also accept that this hurdle is necessary for the continual existence of, well humanity, but again that doesn't mean it's not a problem.

@lornam1142 Might as well be, I was just saying what I've heard from people with either experience or actual law knowledge told me. As far as I know some time is paid by the company while the rest is paid, some amount, by the government. But the mother-to-be still can't be fired.

@JF-xm6tu agreed

I disagree. Cleanliness on the pathological and functional level is important, but mannerism? I'm not so sure about that. As in, if someone is rude to me then it's on me to correct that. If I just sit there and take it, then shame on me.
1
@michaelmepham4788 Yes, so mannerism is like a tool in a smith's forge. It really doesn't matter which tools he uses as long as the product is adequate quality. But I may think this because I tend to feel that when I figure out what to say/do to get what I want, I automatically question my motive to do so. IS it genuine, or am I just faking it to score points?
