Men who use trains on dates: Please stay single

[gmat]

English version of a column in RocketNews24 that was posted on JapanToday. Perhaps might be interesting. Some of the comments are.

What if you drive the train?

 

Best wishes,

I would rather think that a woman holding such attitudes is the one who would stay single rather than the man.  

 

*to add: look at the source- rocketnews24- not exactly hard news, eh? These sites hardly have an editorial policy either, or rather it's just one that maximizes clicks. i.e. tabloid. The Japanese site is the same- one of their news articles has it that Yamanashi Pref. residents are "shocked" they can't get Amazon rapid delivery service because of the recent road tunnel accident, and must settle for regular delivery (stuff of self-centered navel gazers). The problem with these (English) sites is that it is the source for many people for "news" about Japan, because the mainstream media hardly ever covers Japan (and does it badly when it occurs).

If there are enough girls in Japan who actually think like this, then that would entirely explain the existence of hikkikomori...
