  My Japanese wife came to America to work and possibly to find a husband. She was late 30s and wanted to be married. I was divorced and 60. I was overjoyed that age was not an issue for her. She did not want children and wanted a man that was well off enough to finance her moving to the states. It was a win-win situation because we were very compatible and really had fun together. Fortunately, I’m in good health and can match her energy quite well. We have been married 14 happy years🤗

  The problem of the age gap is mainly just a myth. It depends on the personality. Young and old can become very good friends based on common interests, compatibility and mutual respect. Everything else should just work out accordingly.

  Japan&apos;s age of consent is a bit more complicated. In Japan, in addition to the law, each prefecture has its own ordinance which is called &quot;青少年保護育成条例&quot;. According to that ordinance, the age of consent in Japan is set at 18 years old. The only place this ordinance doesn&apos;t apply is on uninhabited islands. Therefore, although the age of consent has been raised to 16 by law, it is illegal to have relations with a person under 18 in Japan anyway, so it does not really matter. The Western media often reports news about the age of consent in Japan, but most of them are just clickbait.

  The last girl says it all with pretty much what most girls are thinking here in Japan. One of the reasons I feel that marriage is on a decline here in Japan is that men at her age and even my age at 29 no longer have a difference in pay gap. So women expect men to earn more or they feel they need to either do better themselves or dump the guy. It&apos;s sad because in the end it&apos;s a team effort and who earns more money is rather irrelevant and shouldn&apos;t dictate who gets more control or whatever. Whomever is better at something should just do their part, two halves make a whole.<br><br>I earn less than my wife whom is the same age and she says the same thing. It&apos;s not something I can control because it doesn&apos;t matter anymore how much you are ganbatteiru by working late or devoting to your company anymore, changing jobs does increase pay but it is hard to get a raise afterwards, and skilling up won&apos;t see good returns for at least a couple of years. The salary system in Japan is broken and being stuck in a corporate world wouldn&apos;t give you the same benefits as those in the past. It&apos;s time women in Japan need to learn that we BOTH need to earn money if we want kids.

  I&apos;ve watched a few of your videos over the last few days as they&apos;ve appeared on my recommended. I like that you change your questions based on their answers and you can think quickly about what to say next. You have good social skills and it makes for a really interesting interview! Many street interview channels, stick the same questions for every person and I find myself getting bored quickly but the variety in your questions has surprisingly kept me watching to the very end!

  This is such a fascinating question to ask people from all different cultures and classes. It&apos;s deceptively simple a question but the answers are incredibly revealing. I loved this video, entertaining and compelling! 👍💯💯

  You&apos;ll never get an honest answer from most people if:<br>–Their face isn&apos;t anonymous.<br>–They&apos;re being interviewed with someone else next to them.
