Why do Chinese women run away to get married abroad (6 photos)

There is a shortage of women in China; Chinese women are spoiled with attention like few other women in the world. Nevertheless, Chinese women are very actively marrying abroad, especially in the USA and Canada. Why?





If you are in your early thirties, there is hope of marrying a prince!

Harsh Chinese ageism

Many agree that the older a woman is, the fewer choices she has.

And despite the fact that in middle age, Asian women look very fit! And the gender imbalance in the country is 30 million single men!

And yet, middle-aged divorced women here are subject to marital discrimination. That is, a single man remains alone, but does not want a middle-aged woman.



Women who received a degree instead of getting married are considered “leftovers” here.

And therefore it is a myth that foreign brides are necessarily beauties who are looking for rich foreigners. Most women who are looking for foreign grooms are middle-aged divorced women.

And 90% of these women say that they want a foreigner, because age discrimination is not so severe abroad.

27 years old - you're going to waste

The “threshold” age for a girl in China is 27 years old. If you didn’t get married before this age, then you are an “old maid”, an unclaimed commodity and other offensive names.





This woman is 45+ years old, it’s clearly not about her appearance

It's even worse if you have a son (not so bad if you have a daughter). Because in China it is customary for parents to help their son with housing so that he can get married sooner. And men simply don’t want to take on another filial mortgage in the future for a child who is not even his by blood. The financial issue is too painful for the Chinese; all this, of course, is due to poverty.

The fate of the mistresses of the rich

During the period of sharp economic growth, a lot of “young money” appeared in China. That is, men who became rich in the first generation, often when they were already married.



Foreigners love Asian women for their femininity, they are not fans of feminism

They rushed to enjoy all the pleasures of life, including trying young beautiful women. But such girls retire after 27 years. Because there are always younger, fresher ones.

And a 27-year-old Chinese woman, accustomed to the luxurious life of a rich man’s mistress, suddenly finds herself on the “unliquid” and “overstuffed” market. That is, women fall from the throne to the very bottom of society. For girls, this is unbearable, they cannot come to terms with the fact that they are now relying on third-rate, completely desperate men without money. And therefore they are looking for at least average men abroad.



Recently, an executive was fired after he was accidentally photographed holding the hand of his mistress on the street.

The government doesn't help

The fact is that ageism in China does not only flourish in personal life. Women without higher education are also hired until the age of 35. Because everyone wants a clothing saleswoman to be young and beautiful, and a barista in a coffee shop to be attractive in appearance.

But 100% of the population cannot obtain higher education. And girls, upon reaching 35-40 years old, begin to be fired from these positions in order to hire young students. Which is completely unfair, because women 40 plus can work in similar positions in other countries.



Chinese flight attendants are the most well-trained and undergo the most stringent qualifications for appearance.

So Chinese women also use marriage to a foreigner as a chance to continue to live normally and provide for themselves. Yes, now also with the help of a man, but without sitting on his neck.

All in all, it's surprising how picky the remaining 30 million single Chinese remain. And this does not bring anything good either to the country in terms of prosperity or to their personal lives.
