As long as the person has a nice appearance no one will worry about sincerity of intentions.

It's hard to take any opinion on the subject seriously when it could potentially be coming from a p-zombie.

It was always going to be either layoffs/comp cuts or no big bubble in salaries and hiring to begin with. Surely there's much worse to come? Look at how much compensation came down in investment banks since the 00s. It's not

This 'lover boy' scam is a big industry in Japan, it's called host clubs.

What about just young women making stupid life choices? Like putting off meaningful relationships or long-term careers for easy short-term cash to fund their vices. Would they count as liberated individuals that middle aged men should feel

Unfortunately for the women making $300k, guys don't care that much about income in return, especially if it's only 60% what they make.

I did consider your first point, but if serious relationships are the goal, just head to the local marriage agency. No shortage of women looking for a traditional provider. People asked for sexual liberation - this is the result.

Hookups are not a need. Male users are the overwhelming majority of these apps. If not age limitations on female attractiveness, then the underlying problem is the intensity of men's compulsions compared to women.

I think men's obsession about this topic needs to be treated in the same way drug addiction is. Flood the market with supply then complain about surplus? It's like watching a dog chase its own tail.

'Modern' women just aren't that interested in hookups with 5/10 guys, deal with it. Maybe blame men for being so indiscriminate?

I think the problem is that there aren't enough attractive 18-25 year old women to date all the average 18-80 year old men.

Is it possible for a topic like this to be discussed in an informed manner on a site like HN? We're all wealthy elites dating supermodels after all, right?

I just decided to focus on getting through life as comfortably as possible. Chasing after extra money I don't need doing things I don't want to just means subsidizing less hard-working people at the expense of my own well being. I

The ability to attract and successfully integrate hundreds of thousands of immigrants per year to support an oversized elderly population is not a luxury that most countries that can afford. For most communities, normalizing childless will

The same reason people who don't work are generally expected to look for a job. This has been mentioned by others. That's not to say that everyone has the same expectations.

Maybe try talking to older people, not just your currently stressed-out social group. All your posts seems to say is "we heard that kids are hard work in the short term so we decided not to have them".

Clarification: women who want a deadbeat guy that will pimp them out if he can (but looks like a Final Fantasy character) go to host clubs

I didn't like my kid before he existed that much either. Do you also write reviews of restaurants you haven't been to?

I've seen some posts by Japanese women suggesting they would be open to being the second wives of wealthy men but I'm not sure if they are the kind of women that rich men would be interested in.

I'm not surprised that wage growth in Japan stagnated considering the limited size of the domestic market, lack of English proficiency and little import of foreign talent via immigration. Regarding fertility rate, I don't know the

Perhaps dropping to a single income would make kids a more tolerable experience.

I'm getting older and I still feel as bored around older, married people as I always have. I don't want to hear about other people's careers or children anymore. I didn't experience it but I remember reading a lot more w

In my personal system, I tag facts by sub-topic and the daily reps are ordered so that facts of the same sub-topic are shown consecutively to avoid context switching (eg. AAABBCCCCD not CABCCDBACA). In addition, there is logic so that after
