build

The reading says boys are moving away from “macho” personal styles to the use of cosmetics, facials, the shaving of body, and the frequenting of esute salons. It is true I think. Girls say, they like slender boys than “macho” boys.
Esute is developing in Japan. Though esute is for women several years ago, it is not only for women but also for men today. I see the advertisements for men on Television more often than before. The advertisements appointed Beckham, a famous soccer player, and some Japanese popular idols.

I think the most popular build for boys is, however, “soft macho”. It is slenderer than “macho”, but has a well-knit frame. After all, people tend to like moderate.

Marrige in Japan

Marriage rate in Japan is getting lower and lower and the average age who marries for the first time is getting older and older these days. The reasons I think are related to an employment opportunity. First, an employment opportunity for women is getting better than before. So, women think they want to work and to succeed on their jobs, but it is difficult for women to balance home with career. Next, women don’t need to depend on men for money anymore because of their jobs, that is to say, they can live without husband unlike before.
That is why marriage rate in Japan is getting lower and the average age who marries for the first time is getting older.
