“Where have all the single men gone?” Single woman sad number. “The nature of my job doesn’t make it easy to meet men.” Single women complain. In fact, there is never any industry where it is easier to meet single men, such as the fashion industry, which is mistakenly considered by people outside the circle to be very racy. 70% are women, and the men who are slightly more attractive are either gay, or there are so many women around that they are frightening.
The seemingly endless number of TV hosts, except for a few talented ones, also have a hard time turning their work relationships into friendships, and there are a ton of older women. The majority of Chinese people have only family and professional lives, and lack social lives and socialization. 20 years ago people relied mainly on matchmaking, and organizations often acted as bridesmaids, both of which are now scorned by young people. So where can you go to find one on your own?
1. “Redneck” dinners
Friends of friends – this is how most people meet their lifelong partner. If you only have a one-sided crush on him but haven’t spoken to him much, don’t be shy about asking your friend to set up a meeting for you right away.
2. Weddings/funerals/birthday drinks/full moon drinks/family parties
Watch the classic “Four Weddings and a Funeral”. The Chinese tradition of funerals doesn’t seem to be very good at generating romance, but weddings definitely can. This is a big year for weddings, so you single women should keep your eyes open.
3. Workplace
This is how nearly half of people meet their lifelong partner. Men and women in the same office often lack attraction because they are too familiar. Look beyond colleagues in different departments and branches, customers and suppliers, and any single man who has a working relationship.
4. “White collar singles clubs,” “red men and green women,” “dinners for 6,” “8 minutes Speed Dating” or other similar networking organizations
Not so much in the face of matchmaking, but rather providing opportunities for singles to socialize. Even if you don’t meet the right person, you can make good friends and maybe they’ll introduce you to your lifelong partner.
5. Business parties
Charity parties/new product launches/so-and-so’s anniversary/gallery receptions, etc. You can take the initiative to introduce yourself and exchange business cards. Leave your phone number, EMAIL, MSN so that he can find you. If he doesn’t ask you out for a week after you break up, you can take the initiative to ask him out once, and if he doesn’t schedule a second time, he’s just not interested in you.
6. Bars
Not recommended, especially the ones where the music is loud as hell and you have to yell when you talk. The question mark needs to be put on the men you meet in bars, statistically only 1% of those you meet in bars get married afterwards.
7. Classes
Go to classes to recharge and get a certificate, or purely for a hobby. You have a high percentage of classmates who have at least similar backgrounds and interests to you, are of similar age, and are like-minded.
8. Networking
Have heard many examples of both success and failure.
9. Street
The most common plot in Korean and Japanese dramas, not often seen in real life, only one girlfriend around in Thailand encountered an Italian man courting on the road. Later got married and now has a son and a daughter.
10. Blind Date
If you can’t afford/have the courage/time to try any of the above 9, then this is the only way left.
The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a date every week.
