Your dating filters versus Japanese demographics — see who survives the stack.
Breaking Down the Japanese Statistics:
Age distribution: Older (higher proportion aged 45+) — 10% of the adult female population is aged 18–24, while 21% is 65 and older.
Marriage & children: Japan follows a east asian (later marriage, rising singlehood among young adults) pattern. Among Japanese women aged 25–29, roughly 70% are unmarried and 82% don't have children yet.
Income: Earnings brackets come from Japanese full-time female worker data. The national median sits at ¥3,500,000, and the top 5% earns ¥10,000,000+.
Body type: National health surveys put the Japanese female obesity rate at 4%. That leaves 96% of women classified as not obese. Within that group, 48% are in the normal BMI range and 49% are on the slimmer end.
Height: The average Japanese woman is 158 cm (5'2").
Sexuality: Lower identification rates — about 98% of Japanese women identify as straight or bisexual, and 96% as exclusively straight.
Eye & hair color: Brown/Black (97%), Hazel/Other (3%). Hair: Black (95%), Brown (5%).
The bottom line: If your number came back lower than expected, you're not alone — that's the default reaction. The calculator isn't telling you to settle; it's showing you the cost of each preference so you can allocate your flexibility where it counts the most.
