CATDOLL: Do single otakus blame society? Japanese media reveals the truth about male singles

Nowadays, many young Japanese people are far away from the emotion of love, and this phenomenon has also attracted the attention of the whole Japanese society. Recently, a media conducted a survey on 200 single men (in their 20s and 30s) and obtained some interesting results.

Among the respondents, 51.5% said, "I can't find a girlfriend, I've basically given up." So what exactly is the reason why they gave up on dating?

The reason why we gave up looking for a girlfriend

First, many respondents attributed the answer to money issues.

"It's mainly a matter of money. If you can cut down on the cost of dressing up to pick up girls, life will be much easier." (Zirconia)

"It's mostly due to economic issues." (nankaiporks)

Indeed, if you don't have enough money, many people will naturally give up looking for a girlfriend. In addition, some people feel insecure about their status (including work).

"I'm not confident about my status, so I'm hesitant about finding a girlfriend." (MotoPGR)

On the other hand, there are also many people who blame women for not being able to fall in love and get married.

"Now they have invented some terms like 'herbivore' and 'carnivore', which have feminized men, while women have become more and more masculine. Perhaps this reversal has led to the inability to find a partner..." (onmlkjihgfedcba)

"Women have too high an ideal for men, so even if they want to find a partner, they can't find one!! Women nowadays only look at a man's appearance and wealth! (Omitted)... In the future, more and more men will give up on finding a girlfriend!" (HCBbusabusabusa)

However, we also received the following opinions during the interview:

"I am only attracted to cute girls, but cute girls won't date me, so I give up." (foxfaxfix)

Although some people think that women have too high expectations of men, in fact, both men and women may have very high standards for the opposite sex. Finally, let's take a look at this opinion:

"The biggest reason might be 'I never planned to find a partner from the beginning'. (Omitted) ... If you think of power as an engine, then I might be in a state of having no fuel. And I am always being asked to 'hurry up, hurry up' without fuel. So, if you ask what exactly is fuel? This varies from person to person. For me, it's probably because I don't have any experience in this area. That is, the experience of 'girls are great'. I don't have any happy memories of being with girls." (aho0xff)
