In mainland China there are many millions more young men than young women, especially outside of the major large cities.Winston wrote: ↑April 14th, 2024, 11:20 amNew news report about China's leftover women that their parents are trying to sell off. WTF?! Is this true or exaggerated? They claim that men don't want them because they are over 27. Do you buy that? Men aren't that picky. Are Chinese men really that picky? I'll take a Chinese woman in her 30s as long as she's decent looking and decent quality. So where is my Chinese bride over 27? Geez. This is like a cocktease. Reality is not that simple. So what's the problem then?

So what about leftover men?
About these leftover women, these are women around 30+ and their parents, highly materialistic orientated who expect a future husband/son-in-law to offer them a good housing, car, savings etc. etc. - basically to provide them, sharing with them all and everything, despite not offering anything in return.
Just ignore such women, better stay alone.
China had to change even the property law some years ago, as it was misused very frequently in case of divorce because the man and HIS parents provided housing and much more, even by loans - and after a year or so the wife was asking for divorce without any reason, with the help of HER parents claiming abuse etc. and were demanding a high payout or the house/landplot etc. as compensation - leaving the groom homeless and HIS parents in debts.
This legal situation is now reversed, the property belongs now to the person who registered and fully paid it BEFORE marriage and will fully belong to that person after divorce.
(BTW Thailand created similar laws, which also apply and help foreign men who made a mistake and married a materialistic greedy Thai woman. If the foreign man owns a condominium unit in HIS own name registered before marriage, it will belong to him for always and the ex-wife has to move out, even after many years of marriage - in Thailand a foreigner cannot own land, but can own a condominium unit 100 % - in Thailand the right of the landlord is very strong, overrides often other regulations)
This is very funny, but very realistic too. Take a look!publicduende wrote: ↑April 15th, 2024, 9:26 pm

I agree on your judgment on the "leftover women". If they are late twenties to late thirties and are still unmarried, in a society that still values stable relationships and marriage immensely, there must be a reason. Chinese men steer away from them, which means they know the reason full well. Foreigners might be tempted to give in simply because they don't understand the culture.
However, the occasional gem may still be found. The famous YTer serpentza married a divorced woman who was still relatively young and good looking, and is a doctor. He himself admitted that her parents would have never allowed her to marry a foreigner, if she hadn't been divorced. Apparently, divorced women in mainland China find it extremely hard to remarry. Worse than "leftover", they are "used up" women.
A 'foreigner'? Who is a foreigner for Chinese mainland people?publicduende wrote: ↑April 15th, 2024, 9:26 pmHowever, the occasional gem may still be found.

I think it works both sides. Here in Japan men are mistrusting for good reason when facing a divorced Chinese woman from China mainland 40+ who cannot find a husband. - Frequently such women are nothing but a recipe for a disaster - asking for too much...are unrealistic, materialistic, arrogant, lazy, are hiding secrets, often loaded with illegal money, some of them are rather into quarrels, even violent, here in Japan often hostess bar related, connected with Japanese yakuza nagawa-kai 稲川会)/Chinese snakeheads: 蛇头, others are liars and do not disclose the truth about them...are dishonest.......divorced women in mainland China find it extremely hard to remarry. Worse than "leftover", they are "used up" women.
