A survey by matchmaking app Pairs involving 1,019 singles in their 20s and 30s reveals that 87.6% desire "accidental or natural" encounters. While nearly 70% remain optimistic about such opportunities, 88.1% had no such experience in the last six months. Critic Yohei Harada describes this as a paradox where youth waste time waiting for low-probability miracles. In response, Pairs has launched a new campaign slogan, "Encounters Need Will," to encourage proactive dating instead of passive waiting.
