there's no such thing as a brothel in 99% of America. Maybe the cathouse in Nevada,but that's about it.

wtf... lol

So, no that big of an imbalance at all. (At birth though, it seems to be 1.19 to 1.0, so it's either getting much worse, or a lot of boys are dying at a young age). Well, considering that China has a population exceeding 1.3 billion, that would leave over 30 million guys perptually single even with a 6% difference and Japan probably aorund 2.5-3 million if the statistics are similar. Pluss, the statistics might be even more skewed when moving up and down the age segments, perhaps as much as 10% in some? But thanks for digging up the numbers!

24 million estimated but it is not really a problem because in China lately more men don't want to get married especially with the rise of videogaming interests.  Why get married while you can be free and do what you like :)...

In Japan the birth rate statics are not the same as in China.

Or bother with girls when you can marry your pillow with your fav cartoon drawn on it.

Exactly!

The more you wait, the harder it gets I guess...

On topic, that's kind of... sad? But totally expected. I mean, there isn't guys marrying pillows and dolls there in Japan?

This is a reflection on the situation in Japanese society more than anything else.

Of course, it is a small N, an unspecified N, and it is an on-line survey.

There are more women in Japan than men.

And honestly, this poll isn't a big deal. It's not a huge issue if you haven't kissed a girl or been on a date. The important thing is that you do it eventually.

No worries. From what I've seen, that's pretty much in line with the worldwide numbers, which start out around 1.1 to 1.0 at birth, but then level out. In some cases it gets quite low, due to the longer life expectancy of females (In the US, for example, it's somewhere around .75 to 1.0 after about the age of 50). But yeah, I wouldn't say that there is an inordinate proportion of involuntary bachelors, but a higher number, simply due to the larger population base.
