Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer... Reggie finishes his time in Chengdu with a visit to the marriage market in People’s Park, one of many such gatherings that across the country that now exist for parents to 'advertise' their sons and daughters as future marriage material. This phenomenon has become increasingly prevalent in the wake of the one-child policy and the preference for sons, which has now left China with an estimated 34 million more men than women.

This is basically tinder but everyone actually wants a relationship
So if Tinder were actually worth using.
I mean they want financial security Lmao
And more of that: those parents have brain in their heads, not in their crotch
Who's here because of daily dose of internet?
Yeah i got freakin curious
I already saw a video about it but didn't research but because of daily dose I got interested
Hell yeah!!!
🙋
Me
Why is it completely normal to advertise yourself on dating website (selling yourself) and not in the way portrayed in the video? They're practically the same. Just because someone isn't westernised in the way they go about life, they're weird and mortifying?
FaCts, this is essentially offline Tinder
@@cognocere pretty much. However, this is better. Since this is not just for casual hookup
I literally just wrote the same comment. When he said he would be mortified I was like now That's a dumbass thing to say. Ever heard of Match jackass?!
My guess is because a Tinder profile is set up by the young individual themselves and they're the one doing the "shopping" as well (as opposed to parents doing it for you) but I'm neither Chinese nor have been on Tinder so 🤷♀️
Because it's someone's parents doing it for them and not the person themselves....
That one child policy really worked out great
That one child policy, stop China from becoming india. Made sure we survived, when China was over populated with no food. You don't understand, just soaking up that americans hate propaganda.
@@dtango8345 Yeah even though you've got more males than women, and have a massive aging population now because the next few generations are of single children. That's why the policy has changed to two kids.
D Tango you sure about that mate? Because you know, it wasn‘t sustainable so that‘s why China abolished the one child policy recently and switched to two children (which is still bonkers imho). Sure, let‘s say this measure curbed overpopulation. But they must’ve known that it was a short-sighted solution, and one cannot deny that this caused problems in the long run.
As Indian i 100% disagree , One child policy or not , it changes nothing , we don't have one child policy but still women are less because in poor nations like India 2K GDP per capita and China 10K , more poor people have sons rather than daughter to support their families and get out of poverty by having a son as investment
@@dtango8345 That's odd India doesn't have a one child policy yet India's population is less than China.
daily dose of internet
haha . same
Yeah
Yes
Yes
small world
So Basically The Chinese Tinder :P
@moomoomoomoo .moomoomoo 😂 nice one
Probably better, at least it have lower chance of spreading STD
They have an offline Tinder, its mindblowing OMG
Bruh I feel bad for the financial unstable short chinese guy :(
Bear in mind that Chinese parents will usually buy 婚房 (marriage home) only for their son. Many of them wont give daughter a penny so it automatically made young women have an overall worse financial situation compares to same age men. And the consequence is that poorer man will be less competitive in terms of finding a partner. So basically it's the price of the "male first" ideology.
Imagine if those parents would buy a mariage home also for their daughter - just the same way they did to their son. There will be way less women looking for only rich men.
@@abigailshiruchan5257 Stop shilling feminism. Nobody cares.
@@42ouncesofPAIN well obviously you cared. Otherwise you would've ignored my comment and call it a day.
@@42ouncesofPAIN you know its funny that people use "nobody cares" as the alternative phrasing of "stfu". 😅If they truly dont care, why acting like being bothered then?😅
I feel like if these types of markets were in the US my grandma would be dragging me there
Haahha. That's nice.
Same for me as well! Except it would be my dad 😒. He really wants grandchildren. Luckily my mom could care less, and doesn't bother me at all about it.
She's definitely happier NOT having to babysit the grandchildren they do have (they live in another state)! Including me lol 😂!
3:55
She really want to be your wife !
Love at first sight ! 👁👄👁
I can understand, he looks genuinely kind, he is tall, handsome and dressed fancy. His smile is the cherry on the top.
Btw have you seen the last season of Attack on Titan?🤭
i wouldnt mind something like this in western society, like canada. but instead of our parents meeting all the people who are single should meet up, like one big meet and greet. would be a good way to know some people in general, as society focuses more on internet socializing, we dont get to see people anymore in real life.
Places like that are called bars, clubs, events, and workshops. Thankfully usually parent-free.
igeto12 good luck approaching someone out of the blue, asking for their records and proposing on the spot lmao That is if you don’t get serial murdered after the courthouse wedding.
Over here in Greece we did have something akin to it, but without the advertising, as it was more like parents selling their daughters(in a ceremonial manner) to their future husbands.
@@lightschen1644 well bars and clubs are not good for everyone, we need places for those who dont like those places but still want to meet other singles. western society is very limited and most people here have narrow minded view, and so are not so accepting of those who are different from the mainstream. otherwise if you have no other generic answers i understand this is a rough topic
@@Gothicc_senpai Agreed! These markets exist because China is still an extremely conservative country that places more value on nuclear families than love. There's social pressure to marry young without "dirtying" yourself, and marriage is seen as a family decision. Taking your time and meeting other singles in less traditional environments is a long process, and these markets want to eliminate them. But with that, you can never be sure if the person you're marrying is really the person advertised. And it's extremely offputting to imagine that your "credentials" posted by your parents are the driving force behind your future.
Funny when their talking and you just gotta nod when you have no idea what they're saying
Instead of swiping left or right, you walk left or right, I see no issues with that.
This is no different than if our parents ran our tinder accounts
Although it is pretty much like an offline tinder or any other dating site, it's just uncomfortable how the parents are the ones trying to look for someone for their children. I'm not against the parents helping their child, that's one of the ways that they show they care, its just the market-like setting as if the children were objects that I find a bit uncomfortable. If it's the people themselves, sure because that's their life but for some parents there, they don't care about personality or if they like each other. If you don't have this then you don't get a chance and I find it a very efficient way of making someone lose their self-esteem.
I apologize if I offended someone with my remarks or if my thoughts do not match someone else's but this is just my opinion.
Hello everyone!
This Is your daily dose of internet 😃
Y U P
All the older women smiling at Reggie sending him choosing signals
What's mind boggling is that there are women here. One might think they would have their pick of the litter being so outnumbered.
Maybe there is something about the women where your at that's deterring men from suiting them, or maybe it's not that big or an issue, probably a few guys looking for something different or can't get females there to like them
@@Tactical-Black Possibly, but it is just so strange to me.
@@Tactical-Black Because of the one child policy couples were giving up or aborting females because China prize males more culturally and men earn more money to pay for their parents retirements. There are 33.5 million more men than women, that's half the population of my country. That's some serious blue balls for the men left on the shelf. Apparently some Chinese men are resorting to buying in brides from south east Asia.
He says he'd be mortified by a public forum where all you information is out there in order for you to find a potential partners. Hmmm. What does That sound like?
He is able to understand his questions in English but he gives answers in Chinese. Good 👍
Im sure there’s a translator for both of them, they just edit that out. It’s highly unlikely that all the Chinese people he interviewed understood English. I’ve been to Shanghai, it isn’t very common even today
My cousin got married this way lol let's see how it turns out 😂
Lol can you update me?
update??? o_o
Any update?🤣
Is he happy? Hahaha
Update!!
Why do i remember Watching the Same video as this one?
Sometimes I Just see Things that I Dont think of and then Happens To me in the Future, Does it happen to you?
Sometimes when I see an envelope with a certain color stamp, I think of a girl I knew in elementary school. It's strange because I never knew her well and also because she died young, like when we were twenty. I don't understand the significance of the letter with that stamp.
Dont worry man it happens to everyone its called deja vu even i felt like i wan weird or something i did a bit searching on google and its called deja vu
As one of Chinese women, the way of parents helped us to match the marriage is the most stupid thing I had ever seen. Parents can't decided our marriage and lives. Women's marriage should in their own hands.
The decision is for both boy and girl to decide whether their preferences & interest match, however if parents help you to make a better decision, then I don't see anything wrong in that.
Fine I'll marry you Reggie 💖💗💓😍
Hello everyone and this is your daily dose of internet
was brought here because of daily dose of internet
I'm asking for a friend xD
Now Women in America dont get married until they 40 plus nowadays
I love the part were he asks a question in english and he answers he mandarin.
How are you
You are right
A man is good if he is true
A working woman works very hard
But men should be respected
If a woman finds the right man, she will give you lots of love
In reality, a man is a man
Who respects all women
I look at women with respect.
A woman is a mother
A woman is a sister
A woman is a daughter
The woman's wife
A woman is a friend
A woman is a flower
I am looking for a foreign disabled woman
Whom I marry to tell people
Disabled women also have rights
Talk about disabled women
Accept this advice my sister
You made a great video
May Allah bless you always
*That is One Example of the Impact of the Existence of the Country, where too many people live!
"you are not a(our) achievement."
They wanted me as a trophy and just the ask to hand me over was an act of domination.
Though they wanted that for themselves, I wasn't them and couldn't be trusted long-term. It wasn't from them.
Even time in response is a win."
The saddest thing I took from this was the sheer difference in male vs female population. This is why sex-preferences don't work for any society. Feel bad for all those lonely dudes :(
Imagine being single all your life because of the decisions of the previous generations.
Especially for that one forty year old dude. Said himself he's not in a good place financially AND is too short to boot. So that's already two strikes against him according to the marriage market apparently.
So crazy how all this happened because of that insane 1 child policy. Not to mention them favoring the males more than females. Hope that guy finds love somehow.
who is single and ready to mingle?
Very honest ppl
BIG PROBLEM IN CHINA MARRIEGE IS MOST OF CHINESE WOMAN LOOKING FOR MONEY FIRST. FAILED MARRIEGE. MONEY MONEY MONEY !
"so how did you meet Mom?"
I want to find that cute short guy a wife SO BAD!!
It's interesting to see how such a large population is handling and how it's affected by economic growth and modern culture :o
MOST OF CHINESE LADIES MONEY FIRST BEFORE LOVE AND SOLE.
Most of you who are out away from China don't know China/Chinese. This video is too much bias.
It doesn't mean leftover. It means unkept.
What would your reaction if your parents did this to you?
That daily does of interest got me looking up some crazy stuff lol
Daily dose of internet get it right
Marriage is not everything but love is.
Do you know that people married for money and status?
That’s why Marriage suck.
People are not married for love. It’s for making babies and that it. The Chinese youth nowadays doesn’t want to get married because they know their parents forced them to having babies.
There was a news in China that the Chinese women divorce her husband because the husband family had her family wanting her to get pregnant fast. And the husband agreed with her. Then his family and her family are all in court about to tell the judge not to divorce him.
But the judge divorce them anyway. The ex husband mom and ex mom have a nerve breakdown over their divorce.
I’m like ”These Chinese mom need to back up with their children love life. You raise them well for them to choose their lovers.” Marriage market is a bad idea anyway.
Was you raised by a single mom..
You sound broken..
0121 Your parent divorce?
Like I said Marriage is nothing but a business for making babies. There is no love in marriage.
Maeu Daou don’t live in fantasy world.
Most Asian marriage are arranged marriage. Even some of them are unhappy.
Look at the fact nowadays!
People don’t care about marriage like that! Because it’s not good because men these days doesn’t care about women and marriage.
The men want to live their life as player and cheating on women even go solo with their life. Because they don’t respect women or don’t love them.
The Asian community are starting to changing now and ever. Most Asian in America are more focusing on School and jobs than Marriage.
This is reality! We are living in the future and not in the past.
Maeu Daou Are you married?
If so, Are you happy?
If not, You will get a reality check when your husband or wife will cheating on you or divorce you over a mistress/misters.
By the way, Don’t killed your self when your husband or wife divorced you.
Life is too short for killing yourselves over marriage.
@@tywilliam3225 What you call "facts" sound more like personal experience/projection or observation which doesn't make it true for everyone.
If you have facts, can you site any scientific evidence for your claims?
while It is kinda sweet that these parents care for their children enough to want to see them find someone to be with......I might me a little pissed if my parents plastered ads about me all over town.
It's more like they want grandchildren to secure the line and when they get brittle and old they have an insurance policy to take care of them. In China there's actually a law where children are supposed to provide $$$ for their elderly parent's care, physically, emotionally, and financially.
You mean like FB... or those dating apps? It's been done for years online, in bars and other ways by various cultures. Nothing new here. It's an age-old story.
it is different. Chinese women purely look for rich guy to marry and split his assets in half. that is in the Chinese law, there is no prenup in Chinese law.
Some of them will abuse the return policy
Omg, his accent melting me🥵
Talents of teachers we started at 7th grade in Chicago at Lincoln Park elementary in my resume
Would love someone has the ability to develop a universal translator like star treck have
Here from TikTok
Man you are so tall, all Chinese around you are like kids
Better than those dating apps 🤣
I guess they have yet to discover the internet.
Internet is a no go. At least with this market gives an opportunity to meet the person in person if you like their profile displayed at the market
At 4.00 a women was checking out on Reggie 😂😂😂😂😂
Does this meeting for finding groom still happening?
As a brit this feels kind of weird to me
Kieron B is basically the same as a online dating site (tinder, Match etc...) but you dan’t get cat fished
We also have a term, post-wall women.
*MOM PLEASE PUT MY DATA IN THERE RIGHT NOW*
60 in good shape vegetarian with good morals looking for love, anybody interested to have a colorful lifestyle? Must relocate and be open minded to what is right and true. No dowry no need. Both must contribute to our future. Must understand that we become one.
Tinder but then without internet lmao
Finances and height? Yeah I would be forever alone over there
We have a requirement of three 180s: 180m2 for your apartment (or house) size, 180cm for your height, and 180mm for your d*ck size. Maybe you still fulfill the last one?
Selling yourself is weird whether on or offline
Well it’s not for money just like posting a flyer that says your looking for a partner And stuff
Did china banned tinder to?
Chris chan was ahead of his time
and i have neither .... i felt that
No ads in the anything is nice except home screen non products after burner country sales
Tinder irl, better than tinder imo
Only in Shanghai...
are sold? Are you serious?
love his glasses damn
Same as dating site
there are short people in china too?
Could someone help me finding my friend father
How's this different from Tinder? Offline version xD
tinder is for sex not your financial assets. in Chinese law, once you are married, your assets will split in half with your spouse.
I hope the young generation in China will get rid of that obsolete tradition where parents decide and arrange marriages.
I feel like. An human resources student intern on TH-cam fee education
Dude at least learn how to pronounce the name of the city correctly
Funny, i'd like to have a try, hahahahahahaha
