Maybe China is a good place to go for women?

"Although it is at the extreme end of the scale, the matchmaking event arranged by the China Entrepreneur Club for Singles in Beijing reflects the growing challenges of finding a spouse in modern China.

The escalating demands of potential spouses have come under the spotlight in recent years thanks to popular television dating shows featuring materialism so outrageous that worried authorities forced them to dial them back.

One female contestant famously rebuffed a potential suitor, saying she would "rather cry in a BMW car than laugh on the backseat of a bicycle", while another requested 200,000 yuan ($31,000) to allow a man to shake her hand."

I don't think the Chinese actually understand how communism is supposed to work.

You know why those women make demands like that? Because they can.

China has had a one child policy in effect for 40 years. This has led to gender selective abortion. Gender selective abortion has led to some really fucked up demographic problems in China, namely an obvious shortage of women.

So your question is whether China would be a good place for women. Probably. But do you care to guess what happens if a lot of your own country's breeding age women head elsewhere? Those that stay behind will be demanding $31K for a handshake.

Some people are convinced that feminism doesn't exist in Asia. When women are demanding money for a handshake, the problem has escalated beyond the feminism we see in the US and western Europe.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Feminism is nothing more than the sense of entitlement an ugly girl gets after being approached in the bar far more often than an ugly girl should be approached, and by guys who are far better than they should ever expect to take interest.

Asian girls around the world sound great. They only like you if you're white or rich.

If these articles keep guys out of asia, then those guys are missing out. More for me, I guess.

Hell yeah.

Because Chinese guys have less than zero game. Walking up to a girl and saying she's pretty works so well because it never happens

[Clyde Rules]

Isnt this just a supply and demand issue? All the baby girls that weren't kept due to the one child policy means chinese women have added value to chinese men who want to marry inside their culture.

[Parlay44]

The Chinese have government imposed limits on how many children they can have. So they all want boys.
Sometimes girls that are born are given up for adoption and end up in the US. The remainder end up working
as prostitutes in Japan and elsewhere in the world.

It's not so much supply and demand more as it is status. The vast majority of girls aren't like that, but China is a country wth a lot of new money, and the elite love showing off. A girl has to marry up, and that's usually easy when you consider the fact that it's still a pretty poor country. The elite/commoner divide is enormous
