I know a few people who act like that here.

Yes, in Japan, relationships, marriages and births are down, but dedicating and committing to yourself is increasingly popular. Of course, wedding attire is still required.

    Hmmmm - can you file taxes as a couple?


    That people focus so much time and effort on me/me/me blows my mind. Social media generation.

          "Tellya, gal, we gotta sort this out fast or we headin' toward post-prenup HELL!"

          "You sayin' I am the HIGH MAINTENANCE ONE? FFS sistah, your demands are offah the scale!"

          "Scale? Like the perfectly level-headed suggestion I marry musself? Whsoe lame ass ideah was that?"

          "Don't you DARE look at Moi that way. You know ZACKLY whose ideah this all was!"

    I would only end up cheating on me with my reflection in the mirror.

    All jokes aside. I can see this becoming popular in the US. Less people are actually meeting others in person. Real sex between couples is way down.

    It would be another way to boost your self image being alone.

    I'm not joking. I can see how this would become a trend.

    I can also see marriages to AI personalities and sex dolls. My guess is that all this will become more popular.

    But I'm taking a stand right now. If I'm never going to have sex again for the rest of my life, it's going to be with my wife, by Golly!

    just a another sign that millennials are in love with themselves and think, and have been taught by their parents, that they are the greatest people alive.

    It always amazed me - how different Japanese culture is from West culture. So many curious and even strange customs and traditions they have.
