As people age, sometimes people understand what they want and don’t want better, and perhaps become less willing to put up with stuff, or maybe become set in their ways and are less willing to change. Also, the society is much less oppressive towards people being single than before. Maybe people just don’t want to accommodate another person’s shortcomings just for the sake for an obligation to get married. There’s nothing wrong with being single, when you don’t mind being single, that is.

And thats why we have idiots turning to chatbots, onlyfans and what not.
Who the hell gets married before 25 in Japan? Even in my home country, that would be too early.
Not many.
The average age at first marriage in Japan is around 31.1 for men and 29.4 for women. This trend has been steadily increasing over the years, with both men and women delaying marriage compared to previous decades.

It the women that r picky…
Many men to choose. So easily ghost…
I remember reading something about choice overload. When one has say two or three kinds of honey to choose from at a shop, one can process the options and arrive at a decision. If this number gets scaled up to say twenty or more kinds of honey, then trouble occurs.
I wonder if something similar is happening in the dating game, leading to some paralysis or perhaps even some anxities about FOMO.

Which is why I always wanted to show my Longfellow on the first date (many decades ago when single).

My ex-wife. Her family practically pushed the marriage idea when they first met me at only 3 months into our dating relationship. They also said she wasn’t too young to start having kids. She was only 20! This was 2015.
