A growing trend known as “ikemeso danshi” lets people—especially women—rent a handsome, empathetic man to cry with them.
The name blends ikemen (good-looking man) and mesomeso (sobbing), and it’s designed to offer emotional release in a safe, comforting space.
These men are trained to provide gentle emotional support. They sit beside you, listen, and even wipe away your tears—turning vulnerability into connection.
Why? Because in Japan, crying is seen as therapeutic, and sharing it with someone kind and easy on the eyes makes it even more healing.
This viral service is more than a quirky idea—it’s part of a deeper movement that encourages people to embrace their emotions instead of hiding them.
