High-income women troubled by marriage problem

They look beautiful and are regarded as white collars having a nice job
in offices. Most of them have a good educational background. However,
when talking about marriage, they are not as happy as they appear to be.
Although entering into their 30s, most of them still remain single.

The number of these women is increasing in society. Parents and relatives
worry about their marriage. Under their parents' pressure, they have to
attend various kinds of matchmaking activities. Recently, such activities
have become a common sight in some parks in Beijing.

A recent study shows that far more women attend such matchmaking
activities than men and most of the women in a favorable situation in
terms of the hunt for a husband. In spring, the Longtanhu Park in Beijing
organized a large matchmaking event for single young men and women. To
the organizer's surprise, it turned out that the number of women
attending the event far exceeded that of men (the ratio between men and
women who signed up for the event was 1:8). At last, the organizer had to
cancel the event.

Apart from matchmaking activities in parks, television, newspaper and
website also launch programs to help single women. However, the success
rate for women to find their ideal husband through media help has been
low. The number of single white-collar women keeps increasing. Some
people call them "leftover ladies."

Faced with this social phenomenon, sociologists and marriage consultants
suggest that these women should find a balance between ideal marriage and
reality, and expand their social network. According to these experts,
white-collar women should not lower their marriage standards in choosing
a husband and they shouldn't lose hope for their marriage, either. The
more one's spouse suits to one's ideal marriage in mind, the happier one
would feel. So people should try their best to find someone who is very
close to their ideal husband or wife in mind, these experts said.

This year, many matchmaking activities will be held during the upcoming
May Day holiday. The Ditan Park in Beijing is going to organize a large
matchmaking activity in which 10,000 people are expected to participate.
How many single women can make their dream come true then? Let's wait and
see.
