Young Japanese men say paying for dates is the hardest part of life as a guy【Survey】 soranews24.com

But a different mental burden takes over the top spot as they get older.
Otoko wa Tsurai yo is one of Japan’s longest-running film series.
Lean In Tokyo recently conducted a survey, asking Japanese men if they ever felt like their lives were tsurai, meaning difficult or painful, because of rigid notions about how men should behave and the pressure of living up to those expectations.
However, when sorted by age groups, the pressure of putting muscular strength to the test or one’s life on the line in a professional capacity was only the top response for men 60 and older.
So maybe as life goes on, Japanese men learn to roll with the punches and become more able to live life on their own terms.
