Actually, it's quite a common attitude in Asia in general and Japan in 
particular.

In Japan, there's even a slang expression for still-unmarried women approaching 
the age of 25: "Christmas cake."

Asked why a woman is like a Christmas cake, a Japanese man will smirk, "Nobody 
wants it after the 25th!"
