I know that Japan has a birth rate issue right now as well as something around 1 in 4 men in the 30’s population aren’t married or how 4 out of 10 in their twenties have never dated. Just wanted reddits thoughts on this analysis. In the article it has a link to the mentioned study.

I feel it just states the obvious. Being healthy and sociable will certainly increase your chances of getting married.
I think this link needs an NSFW tag as the links at the bottom are rather dodgy…
>90% of currently married men in their 20s and 30s were in an athletic club at some point during their school days.
About 77% of 8th grade boys belonging to sport team(運動部) in junior highschool according to Ministry of Education.
68.8% sport team in school
8.2% sport team in school + sports club in the region
I’m pretty sure 80-90% of single men were in an athletic clubs at some point of their school days too.
Edit: it seems they have to pick between 運動部、文化部、帰宅部 in that case, the study makes sense, that is quite different from *at some point during their school days* though, most would choose one based on what clubs they were in highschool.
Considering that just about every Japanese high school student joins a school sports club at some point I’m not sure how meaningful that correlation is.
Doing sports and exercise boosts libido significantly, also confidence. That’s from experience.
