Something like 70% of Japanese men in their 20s AND 30s (this is noteworthy because the west only really has a loneliness epidemic under 30 at least right
now) have straight up checked out of dating and relationships. There’s even a specific word for them.

A big part of this is also that prostitution and sex work are legal in Japan and
aren’t considered cheating for some reason.
Straight up HALF of Japanese men age 20-49 admit (key word here is
admit to using prostitutes):

Basically it seems like most dudes (and women too) have straight up checked out of dating and are just hiring sex workers
