Japan always seems to have the weirdest stuff, especially when it comes to girls. Is it difficult to find a girlfriend over there or...?

They have a very homogenous society. If you don't fit into normal, you will find it harder to meet someone similar.

Diverted standards. Women have certain standards of men that men no longer want to meet, while men have certain standards of women that they no longer want to meet, so it is getting harder for the two to meet in the middle.

Namely, many on both sides are looking for the standard "middle class dream," of finding "a man with a good job to be the breadwinner" and a "housewife who will make a good home for the man and raise their children." Women want to be more career-oriented now than men want them to be, and men, ironically, want to be *less* career oriented now than women expect them to be.

Plus there is an insane degree of asexuality and/or mere romantic apathy going on in Japan right now, where a lot of both genders are just saying "fuck it, i have no interest in romance."

(a side note, this is why breadwinner guys from the West can do better in terms of finding Japanese women, as we've better adapted to the idea of a dual-breadwinner household, both meeting their expectations for men and indulging their more independent aspirations).
