正在尋愛的日本單身漢如今可以學習養育孩子的技能來提高找到對象的機率。

The male-only "ikumen" course, or child-rearing course for men, was organized by Osaka-based company Ikumen University and was priced at 30,000 yen.

這門專爲男性打造的"奶爸課程"由大阪公司"奶爸大學"組織，學費爲3萬日元。

The course teaches participants how to bathe and dress a baby and also helps them understand a woman's perspective on child-rearing through exercises such as wearing a 7 kg pregnancy jacket.

該課程教授學員如何給嬰兒洗澡、穿衣服，通過穿着模擬懷孕的7公斤重的夾克等練習來幫助他們理解女性視角下的育兒。

Participants also learn how to improve communication with a potential spouse.

Instructor Takeshi Akiyama said the aim of the course was to help single men look more appealing to potential wives.

講師秋山武表示，奶爸課程旨在幫助單身男子提升他們對未來妻子的吸引力。

'I wanted to create a form of certification proving a man's child-rearing skills and support for married life,' Mr Akiyama said.

秋山武先生說道："我想建立一種認證形式，以此來證明一位男性的養育孩子的技巧和對婚姻生活的支持。"

Masaya Kurita, a 31-year-old bachelor living in Tokyo started the course after looking for a wife over the last six months, the ABC reports.

據美國廣播公司報道，居住在東京的31歲的單身漢慄田雅哉，在花了6個月的時間找對象之後，開始了這一課程。

'During the self-reflection part of the course I realised I had a tendency to hide my weaknesses or true feelings. I hope to be able to show my more vulnerable side after this,' said Mr Kurita.

慄田雅哉先生表示："在自我反省的過程中，我意識到自己有一種傾向，即隱藏我的弱點或真實感受。在參加這一育兒培訓後，我希望能夠提高找對象的成功率。"
