The trend may also be a reaction to the recent emergence of a tribe known as soshokukei danshi or “herbivorous men” who are gentle, foppish, unaggressive and not interested in traditional masculine pursuits such as fast cars, drinking — and women.

Eri Kohinata, 22, believes that young women like the discipline, sense of duty — and rippling, armour-clad torsos — of men of the feudal age. “Men these days are wimps, but men in history are courageous and manly,” she said.

Men will try to be what ever works to get a woman to drop her panties.

If the odds of achieving that goal is in being a soldier men will start joining the ranks in greater numbers.

This could be a favorable trend.

If a man is wearing armor, how can you tell if his torso is rippling?

And if you can see his rippling torso, because he’s too vain to wear armor (or even a shirt) then he must be gay.
