In a recent article about marriage in China, they described
an appropriate age for women to marry.
In the article, they stated a woman who is unmarried by age 30 is
considered undesirable. In China,
they call it Shen nu, which means “left
over”. When a man is seeking a new
bride, his hope is that she is under 30.
If she is 30 and over, there will be frowns and questions about
her past
and how suitable she may be as a wife.
In fact, most men would never consider her to be wife material at age
30. For the rest of her life, the
best men would overlook her.
In the US, the career woman reins. Many women put off marriage until well in their 30s. They make the claim their career is
more important than having a husband and children.
However, what would happen if men in the US embraced Chinese
culture? Would it force women to
make different decisions about dating?
Would it force women to choose a suitable mate before age 29? Would that affect their careers? Would that expose a hidden reason for
women’s desire to be well educated and employed?
Join us for this conversation and answers to these questions
and many more.
