Japan home to 541,000 young recluses
I'm a recluse myself. Modern society has little to offer to most men that aren't top tier earners, looks etc.<p>You'll live in some shit tier city because you aren't making enough to move somewhere nice (or can't get a work visa), people around you are aggressive low IQ proles in Europe - always looking to pick fights (see <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1713078/moments-after-photo-of-teenage-gang-was-taken-an-innocent-polish-man-arek-jozwik-was-beaten-to-death/" rel="nofollow">https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1713078/moments-after-photo-of...</a> ), if you aren't an aggressive muscular guy you'll just get some fugly harpy who will "settle" for you. There's just nothing in it for me.<p>I have been to Japan and the society is fairly autistic. People are polite but want to stay in their own little bubble. You could collapse on the street in Tokyo and nobody would give a shit if you don't block the entrance of a business. In the outskirts of Tokyo people live in bleak housing blocks that already look depressing from far away that make modern condos look like masterpieces.<p>Think this ten times the size: <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/Cwmbran_tower_block.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/Cwmbran_...</a><p>The society is super hierarchical, with old people being on top and young people earning almost nothing, jobs being hard to come by, guys not getting girlfriends / wifes cause strong independent women don't need no man and socializing with random people outside the internet is highly uncommon as well.<p>If I was in Japan I would be a recluse as well.<p>EDIT: Bring on the downvotes. I miss the usenet days where people actually had similar opinions to me and it was still a 99% male space where women were universally hated - long before fuckbook, twatter and young engineered brainwashed by colleges into becoming social justice warriors.
