It’s no secret that 45% of men aren’t dating anymore. People blame dating apps, feminism, or economic struggles, but I think one of the biggest reasons is modern entertainment—especially anime. It creates completely unrealistic expectations about relationships, women, and life itself, leaving men disillusioned and unmotivated to engage with reality.
Anime idealizes everything. Female characters are impossibly beautiful—flawless skin, perfect curves, and exaggerated femininity. But it’s not just their looks; their personalities are unrealistically accommodating. These characters are loyal to a fault, devoted unconditionally, and somehow fall in love with the protagonist for doing next to nothing. The fantasy they sell is that some perfect, angelic woman will magically appear, love you because you’re “nice,” and dedicate her entire existence to you.
Here’s the problem: that’s not how reality works. Real women are human beings with their own flaws, boundaries, and expectations. Relationships take work, compromise, and effort from both sides. But when men raised on this idealized media meet real women, they feel let down. The world doesn’t match their fantasy. And instead of adapting and putting in the effort, many give up entirely.
These men retreat to their rooms, drowning in escapism. They spend their time watching anime, playing video games, or scrolling online instead of engaging with the real world. Their finite lives—and even more finite youth—are wasted chasing a dream that doesn’t exist. And the longer they stay in this cycle, the harder it becomes to break out of it.
What’s the end result going to be? An entire generation of men opting out of relationships, family, and even personal growth. They’re giving up on life because it doesn’t meet the exaggerated standards fed to them by entertainment. What happens to society when nearly half of men stop trying? How do we recover? Is there even a way back?
