Lost Generation of Herbivore Men in Japan

        posted by Emy, Japan Talk, May 17, 2012

Herbivore Men (Soshoku Danshi) is Japanese slang that describes young Japanese men who never make the first move with a girl. The analogy is that these men refuse to hunt (for a girlfriend) but instead act like passive bunny rabbits (or some such herbivore).

They're often nice guys who are just too shy. They are usually neat, well groomed and careful with their money. Herbivore men may have relationships but they wait for a woman to make the first move.

Many women in Japan complain that herbivore men are responsible for Japan's low marriage and birth rates. Japan can be a lonely place.
