  1. I don't get trying to minimise the reality of a situation which could kill the country, we need solutions not empathy. That said I don't think virgin men are the issue, the lack of marriage is an issue, the problem is likely a mixture of dating being poorly optimised to lead to successful relationships and the education system turning out overly passive people. Honesty it also seems like the just get by attitude is having a negative effect due to a belief in things not being good, material comfort is secondary in life, given the great amount of opportunities in Japan especially for young people there is a great deal to motivate. There aren't many first world countries were a young person can reasonably expect to be able to buy a house, not to mention that even for working class the soft factors like danger from crime are far better than anywhere in the west. I know that urging positivity is irritating, I'm a pessimist myself, but the attitude of things being hopeless just seems like an excuse to give up and not try, an attitude which is frankly disrespectful to the ancestors who suffered so much more than you to put you in your position. Japan should just pick it's poison wether Confucian or Christian, nihilism gets you nowhere and is just a waste of life and potential.

  2. It is not America, there are plenty of virgin women as well and a massive sex industry, not trying is a choice, personally I get waiting for marriage, but you have to be in a relationship to marry so no doing anything doesn't really let you off the hook.
