In Japan there are a lot of men dropping out of dating because how high standards have risen. Young women in metro areas are doing the reverse, holding off dating and sex until they meet someone who rises to their standard, or just going without.
Is the West also heading towards this scenario? Is there anything to stop it and rebalance things?

Japan’s Institute of Population and Social Security reports an astonishing 90% of young women believe that staying single is “preferable to what they imagine marriage to be like”.
A survey in 2011 found that 61% of unmarried men and 49% of women aged 18-34 were not in any kind of romantic relationship, a rise of almost 10% from five years earlier. Another study found that a third of people under 30 had never dated at all.
