Lonely hearts rediscover joy of letter writing in search for spouses

Weird.

Weird

No, Japanese. Lol!

Japanese society seriously lacks interpersonal skills. I’ve watched many older couples on the trains and their communication is usually only grunts, nods and nudges. I’ve always said, there’s just not enough love in Japan.

How about writing a letter and then reading it OUTLOUD to your crush in person or on the phone?

Further evidence that the race will eventually die out. If they gave out Olympic medals for social-awkwardness, Japan would cash in.

Why not actually TALK to the person? Oh wait....

We’ve seen Japanese women even marrying Muslims and wearing the head scarf. Many Filipinas have married into Japanese society. Japanese men have long been looking outside to make their Japan homes. It’s only the beginning. Many new little halves are on the horizon.

So the Konkatsu industry has found another medium through which single people in Japan can confirm that the other party doesn't meet their inflated income/age/social status expectations?

This is definitely going to work great.

I wrote my dog a letter on sandpaper, but all he said was "Rough! Rough!"

Will try writing the cat instead, but that could turn out to be a less than purr-fect cat-astrophe.

Writing down and clarifying your thoughts is an incredibly powerful psychological tool. People should write a little everyday to understand themselves better, and then they will then be able to express themselves more successfully in the world. Sort of helps.

This is a very useful way. In America anyone can put up an image and write out any stupid ideas for a romance that isn't real.

A friend of mine, her father pays over one million a year. Still single for 3 years.

Could you tell me how many people from your culture have married a hologram and have robot sex dolls please?

Do you really want to get into a battle of which cultures have wierder perverts and stranger lonely people?

And how does that change anything I said.

Japan is a high context culture, and such cultures generally have lower incidents of PDA and outward displays of affection. Nor does as much need to be said to convey a similar amount of information. Viewed through the contextual lens of a low context culture, it can appear to be a lack of interpersonal skills - a mistaken assumption.

Similar approaches have been spreading over several years after a matchmaking event organized by post office officials

Of course it'll benefit the post office
