| http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-16500768I found this interesting video that details the declining birthrate in Japan and how it's caused, in part, by Japanese peoples' decreased desire to have a relationship. This is a pretty big potential problem for Japanese and I found it very interesting.  What could have caused this?  |

| Two reasons come to mind. Their dominant Otaku culture being more interested in the virtual world, and not wanting a family because of costly expenses. Probably a mixture of the two. |

| Eh, that kind of stuff get viewers.  I think the main point is that both genders are just enjoying themselves instead of stressing about relationships and such. |

they make girls sound so (being stronger, healthier, and more mature) > guys (showing them just vedging in front of tele and partying) in this video haha; I'm sure they don't do just that, and its not all ppl of that gender that fall into that description.
