Jan 23 (Japanese Comedian Meshida) - There are numerous married people's only dating apps in Japan. Among them Kikonsha Club, or the Married Person's Club, is the one with the most users. The total number of members has exceeded 300,000.

There is a stereotypical image that dating apps are only for singles. That's why when married people pretend to be single on dating apps they take a lot of heat like criminals.

On dating apps married people are treated like scammers. You could say on dating apps married people are the minority. When married people use dating apps they are discriminated against. This is a big problem for our country because our society is supported by cheating.

If people stop cheating many people will lose their jobs, especially in luxury hotels. And now more than ever, diversity, such as LGBTQ, is very important. So our Japanese society categorizes people who are cheating as Q, because they ask themselves the question: Who is the one I really love??

So to avoid falling behind Western countries, the Japanese decided to protect cheater's rights. Then, in order to save married people who lost their love, in Japan new dating apps were created. The married people's only dating apps. You could say that they are the cheating apps.
