>The results show that around half of men and women aged 18 and 19 have never been in a relationship, while the percentage is around 30% for women aged 20 to 34 and nearly 40% for men of the same age bracket This is just absolutely astounding to me. HALF of all 18-19 year olds have NEVER been in a relationship?! Are norms around what constitutes a 'relationship' different in Japan than the US? Because that figure seems shockingly high.
