Japan's Rise of Enjoying Solitude
While the Japanese government tries hard to give us opportunities to connect with others for minimizing the problems related to loneliness, there is a growing trend to take a solitary life. Seeing the trend, more and more Japanese people are questioning, "Is being alone really a bad thing?"
In Japanese, we use the same word '孤独' (kodoku こどく) for the meaning of 'loneliness', 'solitude' or 'aloneness'. Unlike English, we don't have words to express the different nuances.

    In japan many son's don't know their mother do's and enjoys porn,and when the son's accidentally finds his mother in porn vedieo or he finds his mother passion for porn,what do you think that son mental state will become, that's why many Japanese youth end up experiencing the pain of guts in berserk or even worse than that.

    Well the last girl aims for rich guy and take money from them, to me she's like a Robin Hood of the sheets. She's not as bad as people say in my opinion. If she was doing it to guys that genuinely looked like they cared about her, sure it would be bad. But from what we've heard she just does it to guys that seek sex and nothing else. Well, let's hope she doesn't crush some good guys heart in the process lol (I'd be your fault for falling in love with the fake her anyways)

    While I agree with the idea that one should be able to enjoy life and be happy even when in solitude, but I don't think that it's something that's desirable. All of the people interviewed as being "alone" have some sort of social media, which is not the same as real life stuff but is evidence that they have some intent to communicate and share with other people. However, it would be very difficult to find people who are "truly" alone who are willing to be interviewed.

    I had many friends. My friends also always invite other new people to join the group. But everytime we meet, all they do is just taking photo, and being busy on their cellphone. I don't really find connection with them. I felt the loneliest when I was with them. I cut contact with them. I like being with me more. Sometimes I feel lonely, like once every other week, but it's not unbearable. I think I like being alone. I'm almost 40 and I think I like this lifestyle.

    I lived in Japan for a few months before COVID and no women came up to me on the street fishing for dates but one woman did come up to me and give me some tomatoes from her lunch.. I thought it was a bit strange but I ate them because I didn't want to offend her.. I normally wouldn't do that but a few weeks earlier I was cycling in Kyushu and met a garbage man who was resting at a rest stop and he wanted to buy me lunch but I told him (in japanese) I couldn't eat fish so he bought me a banana. I just took it as some Japanese people are just really sweet and kind.. so not all of them are gaijin hunters or looking for english practice..

I will also say that Japanese women in my humble opinion are far and away the most beautiful women in the world and as far as they’re acting goes well let’s just say I have no interest in from the United States anymore. These girls are very good and so are the men, but I tend to watch the women predominantly

I wear T-shirts and hoodies, i don’t really dress formally, unless I’m going to church.

    japan need to ban women's only: Jobs, scholarships, shops, universities and spaces and have men only train cars to make men and women equal in japan. also japan needs to abolish divorce settlements, alimony child support and domestic violence laws, women lie to the police about men 99% of the time. slandering men on Japanese tv and local facbook and youtube feeds also needs to stop. since domestic violence was decriminalized in russia women have magically started to respect men in the home and more families form because men aren't afraid of women at home. japan never thinks to look at men's issues very thoroughly.

    As long as the men she targets really are wealthy and not just in appearance or in lies she tells to herself to soothe the guilt, the damage she causes is relatively minimum. They can bounce back and can afford a therapist. Though the fact that she consciously avoids sugar daddy relations in favor of deceiving these men despite yapping about the virtues of win-win money for sex relations is baffling. Why bother with the latter justification when it does not apply in cases of deception? Or alternatively, why not be open about the hatred without the yapping about some oversimplification of hetero relations, when no one can see her face anyways? She could atleast retain some dignity here if she showcased even an ounce of backbone.
