In China, unmarried men over the age of 31 are called leftover men, which refers to the remaining men who haven't found their wives, and this has become a big problem in a country with increasingly unbalanced gender. As a relic of the one-child policy, there are millions more men than women in China. Although this policy was abolished in 2115, its impact will last for decades. The gender imbalance makes it difficult for many men to find a partner, and this imbalance may further expand. By 2121, the number of marriageable men in China will be 31 million higher than that of women. Nicholas Boestad, an American political economist, said that by 2131, more than a quarter of China men in their thirties will be unmarried.

Because the number of women is much lower than that of men, some men have tried their best to find a wife in order to find a suitable partner and win the hearts of women before others. They spend a lot of money and use many novel courtship methods, but sometimes they still can't succeed. The number of marriageable men in China has far exceeded that of women, and the gender imbalance is still widening. According to media reports, a 41-year-old businessman from China sued a Shanghai matchmaking agency in 2115 for failing to help him find a wife, but he had already paid 7 million yuan to the agency.

In another incident, a Guangzhou programmer bought 99 iPhone and proposed to his girlfriend. Unfortunately, he was rejected by the other side. Because the photos of the scene were widely spread on social media, his sense of humiliation was further aggravated. Part of the reason for this phenomenon is that traditional and modern blind date methods may not always work. The Spring Festival has always been an important opportunity for singles to date each other. The Spring Festival is usually between the end of October and the middle of February. Most people visit relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, which provides many opportunities for singles to meet their potential spouses.

But this traditional blind date method has given way to a modern new model. Like other places, online blind date has developed rapidly in China, and chat applications such as WeChat have gradually become popular ways for people to get to know each other. In recent years, dating in China has become more and more open, and more and more close to the way of western countries. The younger generation has more choices, and they will follow their inner feelings instead of obeying their parents' orders.

Li Jun from Suzhou is still single in his twenties. She noticed that more and more single men organized together and rented public entertainment places to hold blind date activities. Other men turn to psychologists and stylists for help, hoping to enhance their attractiveness. In order to avoid being forced into marriage by parents, some people even use it to rent me. Such mobile phone applications hire fake girlfriends to deceive their parents. According to media reports, the maximum cost of renting a fake girlfriend for one day can reach RMB 1,111.

Modern dating methods provide more choices for women in China. The photo shows a catering activity in Need for Speed Dating. In poor rural areas, the problem of finding a partner is the most prominent, and the tradition of paying engagement gifts makes the problem worse. Yang Hong, who is in her thirties, is married. She thinks this is part of China's mother-in-law's economy. If a man wants to get married, his future mother-in-law will ask him to buy a house before talking about the next step. This is also one of the reasons for the sharp rise in house prices in recent years.

But this financial burden on men also makes it difficult for many women to find a partner. A large number of men choose to marry later, which further aggravates this problem, partly because of the heavy financial burden of marriage. And when they want to get married, they often want to find a young lady. In China, the age gap between husband and wife is between 11 and 21 years old, or even greater, which has become an increasingly common phenomenon. Once a woman reaches the age of 32, it is difficult for her to find a suitable man. Yang Hong said that many eligible men in China will marry beautiful young women. Experts say that women are often eager for financial stability, while men who can provide stable financial situation are often older.
