A recent survey conducted in Japan produced results that sparked intense discussion on comment forums, revealing that Japanese men show a much greater disinterest than women in using matchmaking services such as marriage agencies and dating apps. The trend has been the subject of debate in online communities, where several users have shared their opinions on the situation, with many agreeing that this phenomenon reflects a major shift in young people's priorities.

One of the first comments in the discussion pointed out that the rise of weak men (弱者男性) has contributed to women also having difficulty finding a partner. «The increase in weak men has also left women without a partner.», commented one user, highlighting the impact of this change on both genders.

Another user stated that, for many men, it is preferable to avoid the emotional exhaustion that actively seeking a partner can bring: «It's better not to force yourself to look for a partner and end up emotionally exhausted.». Additionally, some believe that the popularity of dating apps has replaced traditional marriage agencies, although they have also noted that these apps present their own problems. «They have only been replaced by dating apps.“said one user, while another noted that”Dating apps are full of men».

The research also shows that men over 50 tend to use matchmaking services more than younger men, which has been a source of curiosity for some. «It's interesting to see how this changes after 50 years.», mentioned one user, suggesting that interest in finding a partner may resurface later in life.

However, the general lack of interest among young people is attributed, in part, to social demands and expectations. «Expectations are so high that many men simply give up.», expressed one frustrated user. Another comment highlighted that for some men, priorities have completely changed: “I want a girlfriend, but I'm not willing to put in the effort for it.», pointing out that they prefer to invest time and money in other hobbies, such as anime or pop culture events.

In conclusion, Research has shown a significant gender gap in terms of interest in matchmaking services in Japanwhich sparked a debate that reflects both social changes and individual expectations in a society where the dynamics of relationships are constantly evolving.
