According to the Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, Yoshio (44), who lives in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, started looking for a partner eight years ago and joined several dating introduction companies.
Having earned a master's degree in science from a Japanese university, he has been agonizing over the failure factors of nearly 2,000 blind dates in four years, having been met by women 'rejected'.
First of all, he cited the fact that he is an only child and that he has to live with his parents and that his income is low.
He said his annual income is about 3.5 million yen (about 33 million won), far below the minimum requirement set by several matchmakers, about 5.5 million yen (about 52 million won) for men.
If you look at the dating episode he told, a woman he met on a blind date sees his compact car and says, `I don't know what brand this is" he laughed.
In a chilly atmosphere, the two rarely talked and have not contacted each other since.
In addition, after living independently for more than 15 years, he recently moved to his parents' house, which is close to commuting distance.
Because of this, women recognized him as 'Mama Boy' and refused to meet him continuously.
Yoshio regarded these experiences as valuable lessons.
He said "As I kept dating women, I honed my conversational skills and dating planning skills, and my skills gradually improved."
Soon after, he met his current wife through a dating app and married her after a year of dating.
He founded 'Yoshio Marriage Lab', a dating agency that provides free counseling to people who struggle with love and marriage.
Meanwhile, in Japan, many people often give up marriage due to financial problems.
According to one statistic, 32% of men and women over the age of 50 in Tokyo, Japan, and 23.79% of women have never been married.
