Women too tired to care about dating or searching for a partner

KAORI, SHOJI – While Japanese society and the media continue to exhort -- nay plead -- with women to find marriage partners, an astonishing 60 percent of eligible women say they are uninterested in renai (love relationships), according to online dating advice service cocoloni.jp. They're just too tired from work, the service concludes. As sad as it sounds, the nation's women appear to have joined the ranks of men as overworked employees, too drained from the daily grind. Specifically, women appear to be fatigued by the alternative -- shokubano ningenkankei (workplace relationships) -- and avoid going out on random dates, as they have now become synonymous with stress. And when women can muster the energy to go out, 1 in 4 have confessed to having fallen asleep during a date.
