Not Enough Women in China

It has been reported that in China now, the ratio between male and female is 100:109. It is actually so obvious to us Chinese now that it is harder and harder for men to find wives. Also as a result, women are getting pickier and pickier. This was marriage advertisement posted by some women in Beijing:

Wanted: born in 1976-1978; no shorter than 180cm; weight 75-80 kg; Beijing residency; stable income (no less than mine); not wear glasses; no spot on the face; good physical condition; responsible, hard working, good personality and good sense of humour. These conditions are not negotiable.

Yeah, the women in China can really afford to be like that. The only unfortunate thing about this post is that it was posted on Tsinghua University BBS, one of the best universities in China and it is doomed to be humoured. The following is one of the replies:

Here is a rough calculation. The number of newborn in Beijing is about 70,000 every year. Thus there are about 210,000 newborn from 1976 to 1978. Assume half of those were man, and then it’s about 105,000. Chinese average male height is now about 170cm, based on Gaussian distribution, there are about 7,000 who are 180-183cm, 4,500 of which are temporarily 75-80kg. The author of the post probably has a income of 4000 Yuan/month. Optimistically, another 1000 people is off the list. No glasses and no spot? That must be joking. If it weren't, another 3000 is probably off the list. For the rest 500, excluding married, engaged, divorced, coupled and gay…good luck sexy.

This wasn't a joke. they were real advertisement and real reply. Lots of Chinese women are like that now, simply because they can afford to. They are romantic in love but deadly realistic in marriage.

Well, I am just so happy I am gay.
