>>26820082>Work culture in Japan is creating these cripplingly lonely men.The same happens to all developing nations where the middle class (in particular middle class women) can suppor themselves and has access to technology.
I don't think it's a direct consequence of work culture, capitalism, etc. - as some Marxists would tell you but rather a consequence of the sexual marketplace becoming more competitive due to urbanisation and online dating:
Women typically compete for a tiny fraction of men and they're not interested in the rest. They're only willing to settle if there are no other men left. But given the fact that we live in largely urban societies where you can always make new acquaintances and online dating is a thing, you technically never run out of high profile men to date - there is no incentive for these men to ever get married any more after all, since society no longer admonishes people for having pre-marital relationships. But this leaves women also in a permanent state of "I can do better", meaning that they're not willing to start families with their current partner, because a better one might show up behind the next corner. The result is the childlessness that all developed societies see among their middle classes, since middle class women are smart, well-connected, capable of using technology to its fullest potential and thereby kept in a permanent state of flux, where they serially date the most high profile men they can find and only begrudgingly settle in their 30s when their biological clock sounds the alarm, giving birth to or two children on short notice before they run completely dry.
The people paying these superchats are merely the losers in a sexual economy, which like all free markets assumes a pareto distribution of wealth, where the top 20% owns almost everything and the bottom 80% owns almost nothing (wealth here represented as a likelihood to attract a partner).
