  1. If you look at Japanese household culture, most of them have housewives who have to handle all of the daily chores while the husband seldom helps out. Plus, it's not favorable for the woman to have birth while working since they are less likely to have good pay or enough time off to handle the maternity.

  2. This is a big issue. There are cases where some have gone to these host clubs and gone into loads of debt where they have a hard time paying back.
    13
  3. It barely has to deal with religion than it does with cost of living. You look at places like California and the cost of even owning a home is out of reach for many people.

  4. ​@vorynrosethorn903 the problem with your point is that most jobs are located in the cities and not in the countryside. Sure you can have a house outside of the city but I doubt most are willing to spend 2 plus hours for commute.

  5. Lol. Have fun trying to convince them when they don't even like the subject of firearms
    5
  6. Lol. Spotted the delusional one who can't take criticism. Most divorces involve foreign husbands. Try again
    5
  7. You need a wakeup call. Japan has a cheating problem you tool
    4
  8. Lololol. Do you think they would go for someone who can't afford to pay rent?
    4
  9. Lol. You mad?
    4
  10. Things aren't that black and white. You need to look at how they manage money and it's an adjustment mostly on your end to handle things when they come. Dating and marrying one means sacrificing a lot and plus, if you can't make enough money or have a good job, it's going to be a rocky relationship.

  11. They are talking about divorce rates in Japan most likely. The fact remains that most foreign marriages end in divorce.
    4
  12. No, it's just facts. Most Japanese marriages involving foreigners have higher rates of divorce.
    4
  13. Korea has the same thing: they mostly only allow one citizenship at a time. Some countries have mandatory male conscription which can be a problem since these people would need to pledge their allegiance to one country. Not to excuse Japan for its past but you have to think about the politics of countries that are near hostile ones.

  14. ​ @rivertonhigh-v4t lol. Desperate guy trying to push the whole WMAF narrative
    3
  15. ​@andrewearl8926 unfortunately your narrative of housewife isn't much of a reality in Japan. There are more female CEOs than before
    3
  16. ​@andrewearl8926 still no. You fail to realize a lot of things in that most have not gone the route of being a housewife especially in the economy these days.
    3
  17. People spreading misinformation and saying Japan did nothing wrong makes me question if they should still be breathing 🤦‍♂️
    3
  18. Do you have proof of this? Korean men are more likely to marry Japanese women than Americans according to official stats
    3
  19. Not to discourage but unless you can get a high paying job forget even trying to date.
    3
  20. Lol. Keep being delusional. They rather go for Korean guys first 🤡
    3
  21. No. They don't need foreigners
    3
  22. ​@MrWescottX you make no sense at all. Cultural differences can make or break a relationship
    3
  23. Don't even think about it unless you have a lot of money and want to enter into a sexless life
    3
  24. Nah. Indian men are not husband material
    3
  25. Even then divorce rates are higher between foreigners at 50%.
    3
  26. Keep coping because divorce rates with foreigners is around 50%. Not everyone is compatible with the culture and they have standards such as the partner being able to support the family.
    3
  27. Lol. Why? Are you trying to prove that white men are better when they aren't?
    3
  28. Lol. Divorce rates are still high and you guys aren't even as popular as Koreans. L ratio
    3
  29. Japanese girls will likely marry Korean guys according to official stats
    3
  30. ​@fireinthenight9028 even if you take the bank thing out of the equation, it's nearly impossible to raise children in this day of age. I thought about going childless because I wouldn't want to burden my wife or my children with the problems that society has to offer.
    3
  31. Lol. They still go for South Koreans more than whites
    3
  32. What can I say? Those so called heroes are beta level Gaijin who can't get a girl or think that Japanese women would worship them when they would dump them or take their children away.
    2
  33. No. They need to stick to their own kind and boost their numbers.
    2
  34. Stop spreading misinformation. Japan colonized China and Korea for many years. You are using lies
    2
  35. Lol. Don't go delusional and think they are interested in the guy.
    2
  36. Hate to break it to you but Japanese women can be picky. They are known to want status and demanding. You better get used to an allowance since you cannot control the funds.
    2
  37. Did you apologize for the war crimes in Vietnam pig?
    2
  38. Then the atomic bombs didn't happen
    2
  39. ​@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623 the official marriage stats between Korean men and Japanese womens is the highest amongst all foreign husband marriages with Japanese women. That said, Americans have slowly been dropped out to 2nd for marriages.
    2
  40. Tell that to the hardcore weebs or anyone who glorifies Japan. Those people are ignorant as hell when it comes to History and war crimes..
    2
  41. Maybe because it has to do with their laws and their policies. Even if you have friendly relations, one country may have mandatory military service while the other doesn't. For example, do you want someone to have dual citizenship with South Korea and not serve in the military? That would piss off a bunch of people.
    2
  42. The issue is not only in one place. Many developed nations have people who don't want to marry for various reasons. I know females who rather be independent and not have to rely on a man. There is also the fact that cost of living is high and having a child is more of a privilege these days. The issue is very complex and not easy to solve.
    2
  43. Ok. Then no more whites, other Asians, or African Americans marrying in Japan
    2
  44. Not for me. Think about it: children would need to bear the mistakes and responsibilities of previous generations. I wouldn't want my kids to see suffering
    2
  45. It goes beyond working long hours. The costs are high as well
    2
  46. Do you feel bad for the people who were massacred by the Japanese or are you so much a glorified weeb?
    2
  47. ​ @dannielz6 even marriages can fall apart though. I know one SEA lady who is a doctor and she married another doctor who was white. Seems both were mature right? The husband ended up taking his own life afterwards. And I know the same case with another pair where the male partner doesn't even work anymore even though he can.
    2
  48. Keep dreaming. You don't know anything about society and the problems that plague them
    2
  49. And yet you support passport bros marrying Japanese women. Typical
    2
  50. Apples to oranges. Look at how Japan did massacres all over Asia or inhumane experiments that make the Nazis look nicer
    2
  51.  @thathandsomedevil0828  not all parents feel the same way, even baby boomers. My folks talked about how raising my sister and I were tough and how it was difficult to change lifestyles.
    2
  52. I think it has to do with culture as well. Certain topics are taboo and hard to discuss such as religion and in the case of the US the 2nd amendment.
    2
  53. No gaijin

  54. ​ @catherinelaura6567 just goes to show that humanity should be punished until it learns it lesson. Too bad it will be too late
    1
  55. ​ @rsuriyop or incels or idiots thinking they are saviors by impregnating Japanese females.
    1
  56. @MrBiwako2012  a quick Google search of dual citizenship with mandatory service will point that you are incorrect. I knew a guy from college who was Korean and when he turned 20 he was asked to serve in the Korean military or give up his citizenship. He chose the latter and got US citizenship
    1
  57. @MrBiwako2012  you are only allowed dual citizenship until you turn 18, after which you cannot hold two and must choose one
    1
  58. ​ @quintrankid8045 he or she is a glorified weeb who defends Japan. Karma is going to drag them to hell
    1
  59. ​@AdrianFahrenheitTepes the comments are full of Trump supporters who worship him. They also are the ones who went along with calling Asians the ones responsible for the virus and the racist attacks. Don't like Biden as much either due to some policies but I rather have someone that is not threatening to pull troops out half the time or going on racist rants
    1
  60. Another yellow fetisher
    1
  61. ​ @tokyobrwn ah yes. Religion is the source of all problems then. If that was the case, you probably had no problems with Hitler persecuting the Jews or the Christian crusades against Muslims. You people are a joke
    1
  62. ​ @xxdarkslayerlord1922 so roll up all of the crimes and push it under the rug? No wonder Japan is backwards and having suffering
    1
  63. ​@johnsmith1953x and this is why Trump supporters are the worst enemies
    1
  64. I'm against it. One reason is that if you have to serve in the military, you need to pick which country to serve. You cannot pledge your allegiance to two countries during war.
    1
  65. That's only half of it. Japanese girls are very high maintenance and at times cold hearted. If you don't make enough money for them to spend on jewelry and clothes, forget trying to date them.
    1
  66. ​ @AnnexIptaru so you're denying Nanking, Unit 731, Comfort Women, Death Marches are fake? Hope someone shows evidence so you wake up
    1
  67. ​@markcity1343 lol. Try again. The numbers are higher and there are cases where the wife absconds and leaves for Japan. Who's the kid now?
    1
  68. ​@markcity1343 and fyi, Japanese divorce rates amongst each other is only 2 percent higher bonehead
    1
  69. ​@markcity1343 your lack of intelligence also shows when the higher amount of divorces are between Japanese men and foreign women.
    1
  70. ​@SirusStarTV you have no idea of what you are talking about. Japanese women are a nightmare sometimes and the fact that idiots will try to act like they can win them over is something that shows their stupidity
    1
  71.  @ChocoParfaitFra  is this supposed to be sarcasm?
    1
  72. ​ @ChocoParfaitFra yo chill the f out. I could care less what you do since I am not running around forcing women to have children. I am part of the voluntary extinction movement since I don't think it's good to have children if we are running out of resources and space plus having to pass burdens onto the next generation
    1
  73. ​​​ @ChocoParfaitFra calling me stupid when I didn't force you to have children says a lot about your bone head. Seriously, no one will respect you
    1
  74. Killing billions of innocent people for experiments and seeing them as inferior didn't justify anything either but I don't see anyone complaining
    1
  75. America isn't a good model to follow.
    1
  76. Atomic bombings were fake news then
    1
  77. No thanks
    1
  78. ​@charminglove8594 that sounded like hot trash. Thing is there are men who make good money. Sure they aren't doctors or lawyers but you have to look at women too and how some go looking for easy money
    1
  79. Wtf did I just read? You do know Germany isn't communist but they teach about their wrongdoings. They also have public displays as well to show they are ashamed.
    1
  80. ​@michaelmuller1433 they probably are a weeb and glorfiy Japan and Hitler.
    1
  81. ​@pizzicatos.7996 welcoming immigrants doesn't mean they get rid of their identity though. It's hard to accept migrants when they go destroying religious sites or demand things like people stop enjoying what they are doing.
    1
  82. @vorynrosethorn903  if you look at the industry, there are flaws with it. There was the recent scandal involving Toyota and their safety. There was the issue with medicine that killed 80 people. Stop worshipping Japan because it has its flaws and the cracks are showing
    1
  83. Ewwww. Desperate gaijin detected
    1
  84. Could be the poverty rates between Filipinos and Americans.
    1
  85. ​@clinton4161 true. Another problem is the fact that Asian cultures have systemic pressure to put family first and the wife has to sacrifice a lot. I am Asian and married but I am not forcing my wife to take care of her parents or relatives. I will help along the way but I will not force expectations of doing household chores or other things that will consume her time.
    1
  86. Lol. I smell fake news
    1
  87. Lol. Delusional much? Trump screwed up the economy with his policies, failed to control Covid-19, made white supremacy remarks. Good job showing what type of person you are.
    1
  88. Japan won't allow it. Either you stay Argentinian or go Japanese.
    1
  89. ​ @miiniipa that's why I have trust issues with anyone who glorifies Japan but doesn't seem to get the concept that they were not innocent in their killings of millions. These people need to wake up and realize Japan isn't helping anyone
    1
  90. No. There is incompatibility and it's not for white guys to act like heroes
    1
  91. Recheck your facts. Korean male marriages have gone up
    1
  92. I'll take guy who spews nonsense and doesn't understand Asian culture for 500. Seriously though you can blame smartphones all you want but the issue lies deeper in how their society runs. They are raised from birth to be a homogeneous society and not depend on others for help. They are also expected to take care of their parents while raising their own family. You need to stop blaming smartphones when it was like this before they even existed and stop making yourself look even more dumb online.
    1
  93. ​@Labyrinth6000 would you say that to the guys too or are you just basing it on females?
    1
  94. Oh yes. Let's ignore Logan Paul and what he did shall we? Smh your arrogance is showing
    1
  95. ​@WIGutie oh look. Idiot had his feelings hurt. There are a lot of Issei in Brazil and there are genetics of Western Japan that have some degree of connection to China. Stfu before making yourself look stupid westerner
    1
  96. ​@WIGutie thanks for making yourself the idiot colonial dipcrap
    1
  97. So you heard about mothers kidnapping their children overseas and bringing them to Japan?
    1
  98. ​ @RacerX888 I heard about those stories. There is also the fact that some households with the mother and the children live in poverty.
    1
  99. Nah. Non Asian cultures are not that compatible with Asian cultures
    1
  100. ​ @chef7658  ewwwww. No gaijin allowed
    1
  101. ​ @thomaskim7548 oh. Did you apologize for what you did in Vietnam you pighead?
    1
  102.  @LSK2K  kindly gtfo since self perseverance does not mean you can be racist
    1
  103. Problem is that you don't see how Japan denies any wrongdoings. They apologize and then flip a 180 saying Nanjing never happened or Unit 731 never existed. Germany has been more clear on their wrongdoings and will not deny the Holocaust as fake.
    1
  104. You can't own land in Japan. Plus it's other foreigners as well
    1
  105. Lmaoo. You are delusional and coo coo in your head
    1
  106. Ewwww. No gaijin
    1
  107. Hahahaha. Don't make me laugh. They would dump you as soon as they saw how desperate you were
    1
  108.  @Hello-gf2og  lame comeback coming from someone who gets rejected and will probably get cheated on. When you get cheated on by a Japanese woman, don't go crying like the reject you are
    1
  109. ​@Hello-gf2og and btw, Korean men are more popular than you in Japan. Keep fantasizing
    1
  110. Probably incels or beta males who can't get a marriage from their own kind.
    1
  111. ​@ghostghost1913 fake story my ass 🖕
    1
  112. ​@KaitenKenbu wrong on some parts though. I have seen foreigners try to chase women even after being ghosted, and they can't respect the fact that the girl isn't interested.
    1
  113. You're igorant and delusional. When does Germany worship Hitler or deny the Holocaust never happening? You need to realize that Japan has a shrine built for those criminals and claims they never did anything wrong. You need to open your eyes
    1
  114. Lol. Cry more
    1
  115. You do need to pay more taxes though. There are pros and cons to this
    1
  116. No. Japan was worse in that they literally raped, killed, experimented, enslaved, and tortured people in other countries. They literally did colonization that they said they were opposing
    1
  117. ​@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623 so you're denying Japan didn't do anything wrong? Someone needs to wake up to reality
    1
  118. ​@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623 you're denying historical stuff then. There are documents that the US knew about Unit 731 and the biological warfare that Japan was planning to use against the US.
    1
  119. ​@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623 you know what? The atomic bombs didn't happen. The holocaust was made up. Slavery was fake news
    1
  120. @michaelbuddy  so what happens if resources run out? Your so called thinking of having a population is flawed when we won't last that long if overpopulation flourishes
    1
  121. It's not only Japan. China and Singapore don't allow it either. South Korea is a mixed bag since I knew one guy who moved to the US and was being asked if he wants to retain Korean or US citizenship. If he wanted to keep his original, he would need to do mandatory service. He renounced Korean and decided to enlist in the US military to get citizenship.
    1
  122. ​ @amurotensei not all of them. Look at how Sharia law gets set up in foreign countries and people act like law enforcement when they are not.
    1
  123. Don't bother. They wouldn't be interested
    1
  124. It's not that cut and dry. You have immigrants who demand changes and that their culture supercedes the country they are staying in. You cannot migrate somewhere and say that people shouldn't be practicing x religion or be allowed to go drinking.
    1
  125. ​@twink276 I would look up Sharia law in the UK before you start speaking. Not everyone is the same case and there are vandals who target Shinto shrines (one case had someone yelling that people should follow Islam and not the religion of the country.)
    1
  126. ​ @twink276 don't forget the immigrants who go to countries and also depend on government welfare while not contributing to the society. That's why some countries have pushed back against immigration because they say enough is enough and people who cannot contribute to the country or demand things shouldn't be welcomed.
    1
  127. ​@amuro9624 even then you cannot force your religion onto others or for that matter start causing disruptions because you think you are entitled to things. I grew up in places where there were no Buddhist temples but I didn't go making a fuss or start complaining. My family never depended on government welfare either. You cannot go somewhere and say hey, I am entitled to so and so while not being an active part of the community.
    1
  128. ​ @amurotensei you act like people can set up their own laws then. Let me guess: you support colonization but don't want to say it out yet.
    1
  129. ​@amuro9624 first off: even when people migrate, what is to stop them from being dependent on benefits? You say let people get benefits but not everyone is able to access said benefits either. That is the problem that I have with your viewpoint of saying that migrants need to have support when not everyone gets the same benefit. Everyone who goes through the legal system has to prove they are able to work or have type of support and not depend on the government. My wife who came to the US recently cannot depend on government support, even though she fled a country with civil war. My relatives who got green cards had to prove they were capable of supporting themselves as well.
    1
  130. ​ @amurotensei pft. Tell that to the people in Europe who get a backseat to their voices while the politicians cater to the immigrants and they get to demand a lot.
    1
  131. ​ @amurotensei look at what happened in NYC and with how migrants from Central and South America throw away food theh are given and demand 5 star treatment
    1
  132. ​@amuro9624 omfg. You are really stupid aren't you? Look at how they determine what qualifies as low income in every state and every city. Even places like San Francisco where people can make 100k are declared low income and the taxes in that state are high to where they want to make it sound like everyone is on the same playing field. Even running a small business in that state is a nightmare.
    1
  133. ​ @amurotensei and I never said about pissed off about people needing food, but people getting offered it and throwing it away is just pure ignorance on your part. You don't know my backstory and I could make you stfu if I ever told it. I came to the US with only a few dollars and grew up near poverty. My folks had to work long hours just to afford rent and to be where we are. You mouth off like you know every single little detail. Look up the stats of low income Asian American communities and get back to me before you start mouthing off again.
    1
  134. So would you want a full battle with the Japanese? Many women and children were willing to fight to the death even on their soil.
