Why don’t western women want to marry Chinese men I've read an amusing article recently about the phenomenon that few western women are willing to marry Chinese men. Since I have no idea what to write about this week, I’d like to translate this article and hope to get some corrections. A British female professor, who’s gotten in touch with many Chinese males, thought they have a strong sense of control, longing for attention and respect from women. Unlike western men, Chinese males usually think in a quite complex way, so it’s sometimes hard to understand what’s exactly on their mind. A Swedish girl who has live in China for a long time said “Chinese men are less muscular than western men and sadly shorter than western girls in many conditions. It’s generally admitted that women won’t prefer a bf or a husband smaller than them, nor will men want to look tinier than girls.” Besides, “western women are universally independent, who’d love to share housework with their husbands. On the contrary, women in China mostly saddle a burden of all the housework without their husbands’s help, even though they already have a full-time job. For western women who are trying to adapt themselves to the Chinese society, such sort of family life is impossible to imagine. At least I’m not able to do that.” Another lady’s idea was that Chinese men are generally short of confidence, which may stem from their shyness, spoiled youth, conservative mind, lack of romanticism and ability of communication. In conclusion, there are five reasons that stop western women from getting married with Chinese men, including that Chinese males are not handsome enough, with no angular features on their faces; they look less sexier and hairy; that are deficient in a sense of humor, and it’s the most unbearable characteristic from western women’s observation; they have no decent demeanor to be British-style gentlemen; also they are inadequate for women’s needs of consideration, some may be scared of their wives, but most are less likely to be truly concerned about them.
