I am of the similar opinion. Many people neglect or are not aware of the real situation of the 'average' married woman in China. The girl after she is married has a lot of duties towards her own parents, towards the husband and also husband parents. It's generally not expected (and also not desired) that she will proceed with her own career. It's more the case that she is forced to give up her career (and thus basic security in the future when the youth and beauty are not that shining anymore). It's very reasonable from them to demand something what may help them with 'soft landing' in case their current partner (or in certain cases his parents ...) decides to change his wife for the younger and more beautiful one. And if this will not happen and they will live happily ever after so even better for both of them. I find the Chinese women reaction to their current situation very reasonable and every girl who would act in differently would put her future into big risk.

From what I've seen, many Chinese guys in their late 20's or early 30's still don't know how to behave around girls, let alone knowing how to catch one. And many regular Chinese girls have their egos flying way high thanks to their parents.

Ha ha ha...Thanks my parents paid my education and now I fly high^^ and not a lot men can catch me. Ha...It is joking. I guess another reason is many Chinese women become more sucessful in career and they become more demanding when choosing men.I have seen most office workers are laddies.

hahah is good for a girl to have ambition but not too much, girls should aim to be successful but not too sucessful otherwise you will threaten the man...

lloy4bruno,I disagree with it.I think a girl should be very sucessful if she wants and she is capable of doing it.A man should support with the very sucessful career the girl wants instead of feeling to be threatened. It is not really that important who makes more money in a relationship.The most important thing is the two person are in love and they do things for each other.They love each other but also they respect each other as the individual.

I can understand. I mean, they're not going to pick their partner on his looks, and certainly not on his other inner qualities. Not much to go for. Plus they can use their "single" (yeah sure) days to milk some fat wealthy dude. Why the hurry.

True but it looks like HK real estate companies in China seem to offer better prices for apts and villas. Am I wrong?
