Til death do us part ❌
Til debt do us part ✅

[fawzanfawzi]

I like how you both criticize both men and women in China. Because it's not gender issue, it's societal issue.

[taikanyuko]

Oh my god. This explains so much about what happened when I was in Chengdu in 2018. As a foreigner in China I never understood why all the ladies kept asking me what's my level of education, how much money I make, and do I own any properties... All of these questions right away too on the first date. Things that no other women in the west would ask on the first date. Turning marriage into a commodity is so sad...

[cateyu]

In China, marriage has always been a transaction, where a woman was sold as a servant to the man's family and the deal was negotiated by the families. Doesn't make sense for many people to be married there today, both men and women might be happier single

[thunderlighting]

Anyone else think its concerning that those kids already have gray hair?

[hiroshinagoya]

This is so TRUE; I remember during my Summer trips vacations to Guangzhou going out with girls from the GEC Guangzhou English Corner club and they would always ask me about my job and my material possessions. 🤣🤣🤣

China takes the "It's all transactional" to the ultimate level.

Marry for money, divorce for money. These people are the architects of their own demise.

That’s not a bill demanding 180, 000. That’s a voucher to reduce the bride price from 188, 000 to 8, 000, signed “future father-in-law.” It’s meant to be an encouragement for the guy to go for it.

As a child growing up, I was always well aware of the strong bond between my parents, that alone gave our family a resilience that helped us through difficult times. Possessions never entered into it, but then my parents grew up during the depression and were young adults in the Second World War, good times didn’t arrive for them until the 1950’s.

Sadly, Singapore is also facing this exact same situation... When i ask my friends (who are at least 10 years older than me), the father see trust by the son-in-law house, car, background (e.g. financial and medical) and salary... now marriages in Singapore is also not by love but by purchasing a house. Once the house is purchased, divorce... (this is also a reason on why i dont want to get married)

China's exceedingly high and rising divorce rate reflects its collapsing economy.

From 'Fall in Love' to 'Fall in Debt'

[sethjr]

Wow I’ve never noticed it until the first person mentioned it, I’ll go ask my parents about it now, I’m Chinese and being married for over 15 years now

[frontendeddy]

Its like what Jimmy O Yang's father said: "Love? It was a good deal" 😆

[Talus-hallux]

I don't know about men, but women in China will not fall in love with a man or take a look at a man if he's 'poor'! I've heard of women who have divorced their 'poor husbands' and tried to get back through mediation after he made it rich.

[tzefoong]

Marriage has always been a transaction. Women has always been an object to be assessed n sold off. Only in the last two centuries people tried to pretend it wasnt by introducing love n romance into the equation. Most of human history rich men kept multiple women n they never complained. Now its out in the open...

[Hekate-gr]

2:00 Whether we want it or not, marriage is a package of life altering changes. Basing it on emotions or feelings is what children do. One doesn't need marriage to love or feel romantic. When BUILDING a family, ALL aspects of life and existence, from material, health (including reproductive) to even the spiritual, must be taken into account. Synchronisation is a must or the marriage will live short.
It is a different story for China, maybe, nowadays, while it all is based on the material existence, which is unacceptable either!

[theshellderinslowbrostail]

My question always is, what do these women even offer the dudes? What do these men offer these women aside money?

[thanotoast.]

Same is happening in India too. Where girls expect way more than they could comprehend from a guy. They be expecting guy be earning ₹5 lakh/ month while they be looking like a hippo
