Population on the decline? D: (though I guess it'd make for better-not-squished transportation on the trains)

This is one reason why I am all for scandals with pictures of Johnny's going out and dating females.

Herbivore guys sounds appealing to me, minus the fact they sound like they act like women.

I just hope the issue fixes its self, and that this doesn't do any more damage to Japan's birthrates.

Well, first of all, why don't you stop insulting a whole generation of young men.

This article just seems so insulting. No, they don't want to be a over-worked salaryman slaving for the rest of his life to hold up an ideal of wife and family, whom he may never see because of work.

So what, everyone likes cakes. Why is cake = girl? O__o wtf Japan.

They're looking for something to blame, it's not these guys. It's the whole thing. Like over here in the US, they're always like, what's the problem and focus on one thing, when it's always a combination.

Seriously. So much word. This article presents both sides, but it still puts the blame on these "girly" men in the end. Also saying that they are "metrosexuals without the testosterone" makes absolutely no sense, and who is to say that most of them are not homosexuals? Ruffles my feathers, and not in a good way.

Despite the tumbling population decline, I don't see why this generation of men can't be a good thing, what with women wanting to work more and focus on their careers. If these men genuinely want kids and want to stay home with them, and women want to work, that sounds like one good solution to this national problem. The women can still have kids and be independent while the husbands take care of them; meanwhile baby-making rates go up. LOL

It's an interesting topic but the approach is shallow.
