    Default Skewed China Birth rate to leave 24 million men single

    Looks like the One Child Policy is not working well with sex-specific abortions in China. Since families want to keep their family line with a male heir, once their son grows up...there's less chances for him to find a wife in China because there's more male birth rate than female.

    I don't think it's that big of a deal. These men can stay single if they unable to find love. Not all the men want to get married, some prefer to live a simple single life and there is nothing wrong with that. In addition, there are ton and ton of girls in china. There are millions of girls that are unable to land a man so that they have to become a prostitute. Lot of foreigners and chinese americans/canadians go to china and they can easily landing a good looking girl. Girls are not scarce in China.

    No, I think it's the reverse. Men who can't become gigolos to rich hot women, settle for married life instead.

    Only if you're looking for a future full of gigolos comprising the likes of oGaKirA and so on.

    On the other hand, you can keep an eye out for the Ted Mosby's of the world.

    Don't look down on yourself.
    Can you post your pictures here so we can see how beautiful you are?
    Anyway, look is not everything. Personality is somewhat more important.

    I did but I don't think it's that big of a deal as chinese men can marry girls outside of their own country. China has economic ties with many many countries, especially africa, that are poorer economically, so chinese men may perhap attractive to girls in those countries.

    You two are making me more depressed than ever.

    And TC, weren't you the one who was championing looks as it was the most important part of a woman? So I don't believe you!

    Btw Ceddey and Lucre, I do not, and will not believe the words of a KFC and mutton soup. Food are just food.

    Chin up. See this quote.

    Stella: I was heading upstate with my parents, I was doing 90 on the country roads. I got pulled over. So this cop, gets out of his car, swaggers over and he says, 'Lady, I've been waiting for you all day.' And I said, 'Sorry Officer, I got here as fast as I could.'
    Ted: For real?
    Stella: No, it's just a joke. [pause] I know that you're tired of waiting. And you may have to wait a little while more but, she's on her way, Ted. And she's getting here as fast as she can.
    Now, just change some words so that they're applicable to you somehow.

    You gotta make it clear which GX it is then.

    Anyway back to topic, looking for foreign wives is easier said than done. Unless the PRCs goes into the "trafficking" business like Singaporeans do. That will be one massive syndicate then, since China has one huge population... which is another problem...

    Lol I was a bit confused. Why is 24 million extra men classified as confusion?!?! Especially not to Suet Seung.

    Guo Xiang I will start a glorification thread for you, but you will have to wait. Why would you want two girls fighting over you any how?

    They are not even girls to me... they are food to me. But even so that just shows the tragic situation I am in...

    To keep in topic, 24 million extra men is a serious problem btw, and there will be social issues stemming from it.

    Yittzie, you ain't taking the dramatic nonsense seriously, aren't you?

    GX is quite a charmer, except she's picky.
