There's an interesting HN touch in that article:
"Some males are now joining dating sites specifically made for men looking to become Mukoyōshi, and be adopted by families who need a male successor for their businesses."
- pyre 12y agoAre they really "dating" sites if the purpose is just to get adopted as a male successor?
- enqk 12y agoI think typically they would also marry the daughter of the current owner.
- sliverstorm 12y agoi.e. dating with an ulterior motive. See: Golddigger
- phaemon 12y agoI think the motive is the exact opposite of 'ulterior'.
- eloisant 12y agoI can imagine the pitch to VCs: "It's Monster meets OkCupid!"
- snlacks 12y agoMaybe you're onto something, OKCupid has a better track record as the method is actually based on some type of observable patterns. :)
