    I have been a teacher in China for 2 years. The Dating life is quick here. Most women want to get married after dating for a year or less. Women who are not married by 25 are called "The left behind".

    You know what the problem is with most dating apps? Your parents can't get on it and pick people for you to date. Looks like Shanghai solved that pressing problem.

    How did Chinese officials ever think that a dominantly male society was a good idea? Didn't think that one all the way through.....

    • @kcmn0089
      @kcmn0089 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Chinese people themselves did so because boys looked after their parents while girls were married off

    • @operatorlink
      @operatorlink 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      +kecola It was never the chinese government idea to have a dominantly male society, their idea was only to have 1 child. But in Chinese culture, families prefer male child because when they get married in the future girls are married out to another family while guys bring in another member into the family. It have to do something with inheritance too

    As a person who has lived in China for 5 years and is Chinese, I can tell you that even this is abnormal for me. NOT ALL OF CHINA IS WEIRD LIKE THIS.

      +Animesh Kumar yeah lmao exactly. what's so weird about this? in american datin apps people put dickpics as their profile pictures....

    • @adlerzwei
      @adlerzwei 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm a westerner and I don't even think this is that weird.

    • @arthurtung3112
      @arthurtung3112 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Perhaps I should clarify, what's weird to me is the idea of shopping for your children's partners. This is odd because in dating apps the user get to choose, while in this parents only choose base on the height, weight and assets of other children.

      You want these markets ? You can't find a partner ? You probably can't even get a partner in there anyways cuz there's a lot of competition

    Poor guys, their government was too stupid to realize the issues of the 1 child rule ahead of time.

    • @josearguijo7436
      @josearguijo7436 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Jake Methner actually it is a good idea. To many people in the world.
