Thank you for making this podcast and discussing these social aspects. Love hearing you both talk as you seem to tackle the topic from multiple perspectives while taking into consideration the cultural context. I am from Romania, here the marriage aspect has definitely changed especially in the bigger cities, people do tend to get married later than before, but at this point in time is a mix. I have friends who married in their early 20s and have kids while others are still single in their 30s. It also depends a lot if you come from a more traditional background, religion, job and social circle you have.
Great vid for many things, starting with some vocab and learning experience and ending with touching some aspect of society and culture. Love it, waiting for more 🤩💯
I love hearing you two talk about almost anything, but this is an especially interesting topic! I feel like you delve into a lot of the small details and have unique insights that people don't normally mention.
"Il vaut mieux être seul que mal accompagné" . 我不知道怎么翻译成中文可是你说的非常对。丰富的生活不一定包括配偶的陪伴。Thank you very much both of you for your insights and interesting topics. I really look forward to your podcasts every time. Ian From France.
I like your discussions. My question is about older men with older women, in their 60s how is this topic in China, when women and man are retired, is there conflict or traditionally how is seen in this culture
As someone from the U.S., I am so glad I don't follow nor see any of those TikTokers because WHAT?! If you want a woman to wait on you hand and foot, and obey your every command, then you're not looking for a wife. You're looking for a servant. No way am I for that kind of foolishness--the fact that they have followers is also very disturbing.
I’m married to a Chinese woman, and I have to agree with the feeling that there aren’t that many quality Chinese men to choose from (in a country of millions of only children where the only responsibility they've ever known was to study, who could have predicted this!). But since this video does generalize, I also have to say that from the outside, I think Chinese women are much too negative and come up with reasons why something (a new job, a new relationship, a new living space) won’t work out too fast. Sure, everything looks horrible when you jump to the reason why it’s not ideal from the beginning. But it’s also a great way ensure you'll miss a lot of opportunities and never really changing anything about your life.
Bro it's a degrading society, they're still not realizing how f*cked they are , be thankful you're living in a normal thinking society where family values are strong
It would be valuable to hear more perspectives from Chinese men on this topic. Your view seems somewhat one-sided, as you mentioned that mothers in China tend to bear the primary responsibility for child-rearing and sometimes express frustration about it. However, you didn’t address the immense financial burden on Chinese men, who are typically expected to be the primary providers, often supporting not only their own family but also their in-laws. In some cases, they even give a "salary" to their wives. Additionally, men are less likely to openly discuss their struggles, especially online, due to societal expectations. From my experience, I’ve rarely seen men work as hard as Chinese men, and their working conditions can be extremely challenging.
The world has now reached its limit. Only those who can be truly happy and believe that they can achieve marriage should get married. Otherwise, the world will become uninhabitable.
That's the end of this world, people are too selfish, self-centered to get married and have kids in many countries but that's not the case in my home country thank God. Wait until you get older, you're gonna become like a homeless person at the end of your life coz you won't have family to care for you

Such a great episode!
I do really support your podcast. Please make more video like this cheerss
It's very hard for someone who has achieved peace of mind and tranquility being single to risk It all by allowing a new person into their lives. 😂
真有意思的话题。我期待下一个博客。谢谢你们！
Welcome back,Congratulations on the baby 👏🚼

我是一位三十几岁的美国女性、未婚，但还想结了婚。我对这个话题有很多的想法和意见，就可能需要一两个多小时的对话才能说得到底 😅 至少要说：我很想生个孩子，但年纪越大生孩子越难😢 三十多岁了……怎么办？还好我是一位老师：每年我会有六七十多的孩子😁
Hey Rita! I hear a mom is the greatest teacher for her kids. What do you think?
而且恭喜恭喜!
Go Chinese women! ❤

在美国也一样。结婚率和出生率非常低。

I think it applies to all Chinese who are quite negative about everything, they think their country is perfect and the rest of the world is terrible
在我的国家巴基斯坦里，我们根本没有那样新代的趋势。所有的女性被期待要结婚。因为这里没有女性经济自由。女生还是跟家人一起住的。没有针对单身女生的租房，公寓什么的。

Marriage is hard work. Keep your identity and self worth even though family is important. If all else fails ; adopt a Cat to fill the void.
Terrible advice
"Refuse to get married" lol
