japan has a mindset of "women are like christmas cakes; they're no good after the 25th"
...i have no idea why.
but since career women have to focus primarily on their job and jobs like this take up most of a person's time, they often cross that threshold of 25 years without having a significant other, presumedly a source of great insecurity for a lot of them.

Totally agreed - I think it's just a difference in cultures that's hard to see pretty much anywhere else other than Japan. It's definitely something I feel like more and more manga's with a focus on romance try to address now as something that isn't as taboo as it once was. Seinen romcoms and the like definitely tend to draw me in more as someone in their late-20s since it's really interesting(to me at least) drawing parallels between Japanese relationship standards compared to basically anywhere else. I know in China, it's definitely thought to be 'better' to marry younger than later in life but that line of thinking is changing as well. Would be interested to hear anyone familiar with Korean, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, or other SEA countries if they're similar in any way.

People get married in their 20s and the get divorced because years go by and the person that they married seems like a stranger to them. People change a lot from their 20s and 30s, so honestly the mindset that someone should rush to marry before 30 seems silly.

Awww yeah the updates are coming back 
But yeah that's pretty good advice to people who are in a relationship.
Sometimes, our own ego tells us we might not be good enough for our partner, or that people outside our relationship are thinking our partner is way out of our league. We put it in our minds that maybe they'd be better off without us. But are we thinking of our partner more, or ourselves in that moment? Just because we can't deal with the pressure of it, doesn't mean our partner feels the same way. Don't let your ego dictate who can be with who, because that's not a relationship, that's just you choosing for yourself without thinking your partner should have the same say.

@emMeBi86 @CivilSky I think socio-economic and cultural circumstances also make it difficult for the people past 30s to get married. Compared to many western countries, Japanese adults past their 30s have much less free time due to work and too financially pressured to invest in a relationship. I've also heard that culturally, Japanese men prefer younger women while Japanese women prefer more financially capable, thus often older men.
