Leftover women.
Leftover women,who are also called “3s lady” or “loser dogs” . “3s lady” means: single,seventeens and stuck. And loser dogs come from Japan.It is after a 2004 Japanese book on the same phenomenon in that country. Well, Chinese people usually call them leftover women. It has been a much talked, about and often controversial phrase in China in the past few years. It generally refers to single women above the age of 27. Census figures for China show that around one in five women aged 25-29 is are unmarried.
Then why do so many women would want to marry late? Usually, many leftover women have the characteristics of the "three highs": high level education, high income and high social status. It makes a lot of men discouraged. What’s more,they usually pursue perfect love.They are convinced that marriage is not the only way of life.Therefore, before meeting their ideal men , they would rather stay single than marry someone they don't like. After all, unlike eating and breathing, marriage is not necessary for life. So we can say they choose to be single by themselves.Then,do they always feel happy as being single? Not entirely. Every coin has two sides. On the one hand, generally speaking, the benefit is free. They can do what they want to do at any time. But on the other hand, they can’t avoid feeling lonely,boredom and emptiness.what’s more,In China,they usually have to face much stress from their parents and family members. Then,what’s your opinion about them?In my opinion, a terrible marriage is worse than being single. so, Don't make a decision easily.
You have really excellent English! The only criticism I have is that you should pay more attention to punctuation, maybe to you it looks fine not use spaces, capital letters, etc. but it looks a bit ugly to English-speaking readers.
The phenomenon you describe is very interesting. To be honest, it's a bit weird to me: now in China there are also more and more "leftover men" who can't afford a house or car so can't get married...why don't the leftover men and women make leftover marriages? ;-)
