Women hard to find husband

Recently, marriage-seeking women are two times higher than males in
Anhui's matrimonial agencies. Women who have good academic credentials
and high salary feel difficult to find husbands. A manager of the
matrimonial center run by local Women's Federation said currently such
phenomenon was common. Two thirds of registered members of the center are
women, 70% of them bachelor degree holders. However, most
marriage-seeking males care more about women's age than about their
academic achievements.
Ms. Wan Zhiying, vice director of the center, indicated many professional
women working in the media and enterprises had come to register recently.
Their comprehensive qualities were excellent, but they still had
difficulties finding boyfriends. She said, when the center recommended
these ladies to males, the latter refused to meet them for fear that
their jobs were insecure and their social relations sophisticated.
Many factors cause this phenomenon. On one hand, social environment
forces woman to get better jobs and make academic achievements. Some of
them failed to notice that their age was disadvantageous in the
marriage-seeking process. On the other hand, in traditional Chinese
views, husbands should be more successful than their wives, and they can
feel the pressures from society if their wives are superior to them.
While women also want to find men who are superior to themselves. All
these factors increase the difficulties for women to find husbands.
