no one in this thread understand why this is the issue, but everyone is correct this wont fix it. the social gap with sexes in japan is like a canyon, no one meets outside of work and most of the relationships are actually 'made at' work. on top of that the social and work etiquette (or life) just doesnt overalap at all. your company is your 'new family' and heaven forbid if you dont commit your life to it.  i know people who have been "exiled" for having a baby before asking their boss, changing their workplace or leaving job early to catch up a date. t. has a jap wife and all that
