I AM RELEASING THIS SCRIPT NOW, I TRIED TO GO ON YOUTUBE LIVE AND IT CRASHED. PLUS I WAS A BIT LATE, NOT EVERYONE WILL WATCH IT. WHEN I FINISH READING THIS ON MAY 30. There was a lot of research that went into this one. I understand your situation.
Right now, East Asia is facing a voluntary extinction event.
Birth rates are collapsing to the lowest levels in human history.
Young people are completely opting out of relationships.
And a profound black pill hopelessness has taken over.
In this video I will share with your the data that is being released.
But if you think this is only an overseas problem, you are missing the bigger picture.
Asia is the canary in the coal mine.
What is happening to the dating market over there right now is a warning sign for what is about to hit North America next.
The entire system of modern dating is breaking down.
And if you are an Asian guy trying to navigate this mess, you’ve probably been fed the same two pieces of advice over and over.
Go to American nightclubs and try your luck with night game chasing a very specific demographic of Asian women.
After dirty bulking with giant waists and Shrek looking bodies.
Or pack your bags and use Tinder in Latin America because the algorithms supposedly work better there due to status maxing.
Those cannot be your only options.
Chapter 1: Japan’s Silent Rooms (The Hikikomori & Extreme Isolation)
There’s this whole generation that has basically dropped out of the dating scene.
A lot of them are choosing to stay isolated in their bedrooms instead of going out into the world.
The latest 2026 numbers are pretty shocking.
According to fresh data from a study released in May 2026, the average age of a hikikomori in Japan has climbed to around 36.9 years old.
What’s even crazier is that more than 43% of them are now over 40 years old.
Think about that for a second.
This isn’t just about isolated teenagers anymore.
Now we’ve moved beyond what used to be called the 80 50 problem.
Back then, it referred to 80 year old parents still supporting their 50 year old children.
Now Japan is entering what people are calling the 90 60 problem.
Parents in their 90s are relying on retirement savings just to support their 60 year old children who haven’t worked or even dated in decades.
That’s a massive societal shift.
And then there’s the total baby bust happening at the same time.
With so many young adults withdrawing from society, the dating market has almost completely dried up for huge parts of the population.
Early 2026 statistics showed Japan’s birth rate collapsing to just 705,809 births.
That is an incredibly low number for a country that size.
At the same time, the overall population dropped by almost 900,000 people in a single year.
That’s an enormous demographic decline happening in real time.
And if you think that situation is bad, wait until you look at what’s happening in China and Hong Kong right now.
But honestly, there is a way to pull yourself out of this type of isolation mindset.
That’s exactly why I created the Elite Bundle Resurrections.
Chapter 2: China’s Silent Revolution (Lying Flat, MGTOW, & Bride Prices)
Back in 2016, China saw a whopping 17.86 million births.
Fast forward just a few years, and that number has nosedived to 7.92 million.
Which is pretty shocking, right?
Now let’s dive into what’s really going on.
There’s this quiet rebellion happening between men and women in China.
They’re stepping away from the whole traditional marriage and kids lifestyle.
You’ve got this trend called lying flat.
Young people are just burned out from the nonstop grind of corporate life.
Instead of working themselves to death trying to afford a house and settle down, a lot of them are choosing to simply lie flat.
They work just enough to cover basic needs.
They avoid the dating scene.
And they focus on themselves first.
Sounds pretty liberating, doesn’t it?
Then there’s the whole MGTOW scene.
Men Going Their Own Way.
With the pressure to pay insane bride prices in rural areas, sometimes between $8,500 and $28,000, a lot of working class men are completely fed up.
They’ve realized trying to impress women and afford a place to live just doesn’t feel worth it anymore.
Their mindset becomes simple.
If they’re going to end up alone anyway, they might as well keep their money for themselves and enjoy hobbies, games, or personal freedom.
Now let’s talk about the so called leftover women, also known as Sheng Nu.
These are highly educated women over 30 with strong careers and high incomes.
But despite all of that, many are getting pushed out of the marriage market.
They worked hard to build their lives.
Naturally, they also became more selective about who they want to date or marry.
They don’t want to settle for a man who earns less or expects them to become traditional housewives.
But the men who meet their standards often chase younger women instead.
That leaves a large group of successful single women over 30 feeling trapped in the middle.
It’s also worth mentioning the harsh age gap dynamics in dating.
A lot of men in China still lean toward younger women because of traditional expectations and modern social pressure.
Most aim for women in their early to mid 20s.
And then there’s the issue of bride prices, also known as Cai Li.
In rural areas where women are becoming increasingly rare, families demand massive dowries from men.
By 2026, some men could be paying anywhere from 60,000 to over 200,000 yuan just to get married.
That completely prices out many average working class men from even starting families.
And it’s not just mainland China dealing with this.
Hong Kong is facing very similar problems.
A huge part of it comes from sky high housing prices and economic pressure.
Their birth rate has dropped to an extremely low 0.75.
It’s a very difficult situation for many people living there.
And across China overall, the demographic outlook is becoming increasingly serious.eleased in early 2026 shows births collapsed to an all-time low of 7.92 million
Wait until you hear about South Korea.
But then again if you get more Elite Bundle Resurrections in Hong Kong or China, you will get a better price than others, since your currency is worthless.
I want to help the birth rate issue and dating too.
Stop listening to Jan Lifestyle or Scam Lifestyle.
Chapter 3: South Korea’s Hyper-Stressed “Black Pill” Society
South Korea has been sitting at the bottom of the birth rate barrel for quite some time now.
It went from 1.24 back in 2015 all the way down to an extremely low 0.72 in 2023.
That’s a massive collapse in less than a decade.
The 2026 plot twist.
But then in late February 2026, new data started showing a slight uptick.
Births temporarily rose to around 0.80, totaling roughly 254,500 babies.
At first glance, some people celebrated it like the crisis was ending.
But honestly, it’s more of a temporary statistical echo than a real recovery.
A large group of millennials born in the early 1990s all reached their 30s around the same time.
Many delayed marriage and children because of the pandemic years.
So some of those postponed births finally happened all at once.
But even with that temporary increase, the overall situation is still extremely grim.
South Korea’s population still shrank by around 108,900 people in just one year because deaths continue to outpace births.
And Seoul itself looks even worse.
The fertility rate there dropped to around 0.63.
Now, if you really want to understand why so many South Koreans feel hopeless and black pilled, you have to understand the economic pressure cooker they live inside.
Everything revolves around competition.
Life feels like one endless exam where you either win or fall behind forever.
Young people feel enormous pressure to get accepted into one of the three elite SKY universities.
Seoul National.
Korea University.
Yonsei University.
Because without one of those schools, many believe they have almost no chance of landing a prestigious job at massive corporations like Samsung or LG.
And if someone fails the Suneung college entrance exam, culturally it can feel like their entire future is collapsing.
That level of pressure completely burns people out.
Even people who successfully make it into companies like Samsung often end up too exhausted, financially stressed, and emotionally drained to even think seriously about dating or starting families.
That’s where the Hell Joseon mindset comes from.
A lot of younger South Koreans now describe their own country as Hell Joseon.
A never ending dystopian treadmill where survival and status competition consume everything.
And then there’s the strange K Pop paradox.
Globally, the rise of K Pop and K Dramas over the last decade massively changed how Asian men are perceived in the West.
A lot of people outside Korea now see South Korean men as stylish, romantic, and socially polished.
But inside South Korea itself, the reality feels much darker.
There’s a huge gender war happening internally.
Many women became involved in the 4B movement.
No sex.
No dating.
No marriage.
No babies.
As a reaction against the exhausting expectations placed on them inside corporate culture and traditional gender roles.
So on one side, South Korea became a global cultural powerhouse.
But domestically, huge parts of the younger generation feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected, and increasingly hopeless about relationships and the future.
I don’t have as many Korean students as they have better social skills than the other Asians.
I used to hang around Koreans in high school actually and many others.
The first girl I went on a date with in highschool is a 5’11 Korean.
My Korean student got like 22 lays from a bootcamp and flying to Asia afterwards in a short time.
He helped me film the Elite Playbook for its later chapters with his digital camera.
That is part of the Elite Bundle Resurrections which is the solution.
Chapter 4: The North American Canary (Vancouver’s Dating Collapse & U.S. Record Lows)
So, let’s shift our focus from Asia to the West Coast.
It turns out the same kind of black pill demographic issues have started hitting us right here at home.
The G7 food inflation capital.
Think economic struggles are only happening in places like Seoul or Tokyo?
Think again.
As we moved deeper into 2026, Canada was officially being called the food inflation capital of the G7 according to Statistics Canada and multiple global economists.
Grocery prices jumped somewhere between 6.2% to 7.3% in a single year.
That’s almost double what was happening in parts of the United States.
Young people are not only getting pushed out of the housing market.
They’re struggling just to afford basic groceries.
And this inflation completely destroys dating motivation.
Now let’s talk about Vancouver.
Because the reality there is brutal.
Reports and surveys coming out of Vancouver showed that roughly 82.6% of adults between 19 and 29 years old were single.
Only around 10% to 17% of young men in that age range were in committed relationships.
Think about how insane that is.
Most people are effectively locked out of the dating market.
And why?
Because even going out for a simple dinner date can eat up a huge portion of their rent money.
People are stressed out.
Financially exhausted.
Emotionally burned out.
And when people live in survival mode, relationships become harder to maintain.
Now let’s move just south of the border.
The United States is also hitting historic lows.
According to CDC data released in April 2026, the U.S. fertility rate dropped again to another record low.
Roughly 710,000 fewer babies compared to peak years.
And one of the biggest reasons younger adults gave was simple.
The world feels too expensive.
Too competitive.
Too unstable.
A lot of people under 30 no longer believe they can realistically afford marriage, children, or even long term stability anymore.
That mindset slowly creates isolation, hopelessness, and social withdrawal.
And honestly, that’s why so many people are mentally checking out of the dating market altogether.
Chapter 5: The Asian-Western Coping Mechanisms (The Nightclub & Passport Traps)
Let’s take a closer look at how Asian American and Asian Canadian men are navigating this broken system.
It’s interesting to consider why the solutions they’re choosing might actually be leading them into a trap.
The MGTOW retreat.
With the cost of living exploding in places like Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angeles, and New York, a lot of Western Asian men are looking at the Chinese lying flat movement and thinking to themselves, yeah, that actually makes sense.
Instead of fully participating in the dating market, many retreat inward.
They stay glued to screens.
They focus only on work, gaming, or isolated hobbies.
And slowly they begin giving up on dating altogether.
Honestly, a lot of them are exhausted.
The cost of modern life alone already burns people out before dating even enters the picture.
Then there’s the nightclub bottleneck.
For the smaller percentage of guys who still try to date actively, many end up funneling themselves into nightclubs.
And what happens there?
They spend massive amounts of money on drinks, entry fees, tables, and status signaling.
All while competing in loud chaotic environments for a very narrow demographic of women.
The odds become brutal.
Especially when everybody is fighting inside the exact same social funnel.
It starts feeling like a rigged game from the beginning.
Then comes the passport bro illusion.
When night game stops working, many guys decide to escape entirely.
They fly to Latin America.
Open Tinder.
And rely on algorithmic matching in a completely different country.
At first, it feels amazing.
The matches go up.
Confidence temporarily rises.
And everything feels easier.
But in reality, it often becomes a form of avoidance.
Because the core problem back home never actually gets solved.
The second they return to North America, they end up trapped inside the same digital cage again.
Still unable to create genuine real world connections during normal daily life.
And that’s why so many people end up stuck in an endless cycle instead of building lasting social skills that work everywhere.
The Pivot: Why Daygame is the Only Real Answer For Asian Men In North America.
You know, relying solely on some nightclub algorithm or running off to South America just to swipe on a screen cannot be the only solution anymore.
That isn’t freedom.
It’s dependency disguised as freedom.
And let’s be honest for a second.
Sure, taking the black pill and going MGTOW might save you money during inflation.
But it also slowly turns you into the same type of isolated recluse that helped destroy Japan’s population growth.
It becomes a slow surrender.
And honestly, who wants to live like that?
What we actually need to solve the North American dating crisis is bringing back the daygame cold approach.
And no, it is not the easy path.
It takes real courage to put your phone down and walk up to a woman during the daytime.
At a coffee shop.
A bookstore.
A park.
Or just during normal everyday life.
You have to look people in the eye again.
You have to rebuild social skills that a huge percentage of modern men completely lost.
But that’s exactly why it changes everything.
Instead of competing against thousands of men on dating apps or spending hundreds of dollars inside clubs, you’re having a real conversation in real life.
And the crazy thing?
It’s completely free.
And honestly, Western Asian men especially need to break out of the demographic bubble.
Why limit yourself to only one type of woman just because it feels familiar or safe?
And why keep searching for validation only inside nightclub environments?
There’s an enormous number of non Asian women who are exhausted by dating apps, emotionally unavailable men, and low effort interactions.
A lot of them are looking for genuine masculine confidence and real world social skills.
By getting good at daygame, you’re not only improving your own dating life.
You’re actively pushing back against the anti social digital matrix that keeps people isolated, addicted, lonely, and financially drained.
That’s why the lost science of daygame matters more now than ever before.
For Asians in Asia, depending where you are. I can adjust the Elite Bundle Resurrection price because I am trying to help my fellow Asians procreate and fight against the declining birth rate. Your governements can’t help you, but I have the ability. It should be put to good use. If you can get 2 lays with my coaching, you can likely get married one day and procreate. Don’t turn MGTOW due to cortisol stress. Fight back. You are the resistance.
