Why are Asian Women in China UNMARRIED?
Sheng nu (leftover women) are Asian women in China who are over 27 years old, unmarried, and highly-educated yet still unmarried.
Modern Asian girls in China are encouraged to get married at an early age because it gets harder for women to find a husband later in life, especially when they are successful with their career.
Moreover, Chinese men often marry down in terms of an Asian woman’s social standing in China. They choose to marry young Asian singles who are not as successful as them, especially the Chinese women who make less money.
The pursuit of finding a husband gets even harder for Asian women who are over 25 years old because of the gender imbalance in China.
However, there are still Chinese girls who refuse to feel the pressure from their own families and society when it comes to dating in Asia. What do these single women in China do whenever they think it’s time for them to settle down? Chinese singles try finding love overseas through dating apps or becoming a member of a matchmaking agency.
Dating foreign guys who travel overseas gives Chinese girls the chance to find a husband who is supportive of their individual goals. Foreign dating has allowed single women in China to find a life partner who does not treat them as threats or competition as they achieve more of their life goals.
