In recent times, many men in their 20s and 30s aren't preying on women, nor are they fixated with demonstrating their masculinity.
Quote of the Day ( 10 )
Columnist Maki Fukasawa, referring to “herbivorous men,” who are steadfast sorts that refrain from drinking binges and are happy to keep their relationships with women on a platonic basis. (Yomiuri Shimbun)

There's a definite masculinity deficit in Japan. Every Japanese boy should be required to watch Bunta Sugawara movies from the '70's.

Problem is that J-women behave like movie stars. Better be sexually flexible here.

The reason for "herbivorous 'men'" and their gaining in popularity is because so few children in the last 20-30 years have had any kind of real male, masculin role model here in Japan. trust me, whenever I see one of these boy bands, or many (if not most) Japanese Male Athletes and other celebs, "man" isn't the first word that comes into my mind.

Herbivorous? As in munching grass? Biting the pillow, more like.

Masculinity is not synonymous with predation.

Agreed, Nessie. A very poor choice of words that is.
