You're welcome~

No, I get you. Humans are primal creatures that are instinctively concerned with the best survival traits even if they're not as necessary in our modern times. So there's a gravitation towards the strong as more desirable mates because they can protect better and pass down strong traits. It's interesting to see how this sort of thing is interpreted and projected onto fictional characters like Kaneki.

I'm not very well versed in Japanese culture, but I heard that was an issue-Japanese students being so entrenched in school work that they had almost no free time. I think it's gotten better though. There was one story from one of the novels where Kaneki and Hide were highschool students and started talking about college. One of the things Hide said to get Kaneki excited was that there would be girls and that he could "finally take a girl home", lol. Neither of them had dating experience by college if I remember right, so it looks like not dating until then might still be a common thing.
