¡71% de HOMBRES evita el MATRIMONIO! 240 MILLONES de SOLTEROS en China y creciendo

71% of men avoid marriage. 240 million singles in China and growing. Why are millions of young men in China giving up marriage? The generation that has it all, less desire to get married. More and more young Chinese are saying no to marriage and paternity. What is happening? According to some analysts, many men have started to see marriage not as a love union, but as a high-risk and low-return transaction. From the high costs of adoption to the emotional and economic imbalance, getting married today in China may seem more of a burden than an illusion. According to recent figures, more than 71% of men born after 1995 in China remain single. Is this an individual decision or the reflection of a system that no longer fits with the expectations of the new generations? Why get married? If I get married, I'm ruined. I'm like most people born in the 90s. I don't get married, I don't have children, I don't buy a house or a car. I want to live a life without ties. I have my savings and, living alone, I'm happy. Why should I complicate myself? I can't find a girlfriend who gives me value. If I earn $20,000 a month and she earns $2,000, I have to support her, do the chores at home, take care of her emotions and keep making money. Why? That's not a couple. It's like adopting someone. Nowadays, when we talk about marriage, we no longer talk about love, we talk about material conditions. Now many men are on the defensive with women because of the so-called casafortunas and scandals like that of Datong. Even if a woman is good, men no longer trust her. They no longer give them power in the relationship. These influencers have ruined the market. Distrust has grown and the relationship between men and women has deteriorated. Even decent women find it difficult. In this new reality, the marital market has changed radically. It is no longer about looking for a compatible partner, but about going through an audit of requirements, income, properties, status. Some say they no longer seek love, but survive emotionally and economically. They use beauty filters to create a perfect image, ambiguous phrases to create a romantic illusion, and social comparisons to inflate the male ego. They also attend courses by female elites, where they learn to manipulate men and make them spend on them. There is a whole industry of training with guides on how to design attractive profiles, write persuasive publications, strategies to avoid P.O.A. emotional abuse, and even methods for lovers to rise in status. This ideology has even influenced common women, who see it as normal for men to pay for everything. At parties and designated dates, if there are no expensive gifts, men are labeled as stingy. If the dowry does not exceed 100,000 yuan, it is interpreted as a lack of respect. But the so-called economy of fortunes has collapsed, and with it, an entire industry of emotional manipulation is crumbling. These numbers are just the beginning. It won't be long. In 2022, 468,000 university students enrolled in China, 295,000 were women, and only 173,000 men. The gender difference in higher studies is enormous. Many women with high academic levels no longer feel the need to get married to have a good life. At the same time, capitalism and romantic series have raised expectations so much that some women are looking for princes and royals. Thus, there are more and more single women. This trend has direct economic consequences. Fewer weddings imply less associated consumption. Houses, celebrations, gifts. The vitality of the domestic market is affected. To stop it, the government has tried to facilitate marriage. It eliminated rates in 2017, and in 2024, it abolished the obligation to present the residence registration, but it has not worked. In the first three quarters of 2024, only 4,747,647 couples registered, 943,000 fewer than the previous year. China is facing a deep cultural shift. What used to be a mandatory step in adult life is now an election that many no longer want to take. The idea of ​​better alone than badly accompanied gains strength among young people who prioritize their freedom, emotional well-being, and financial stability. Is the end of traditional marriage coming? The answer may be in the millions of singles who choose another path. What happens when having more than 30 and being single in China means becoming invisible? A reality that millions of women live in and that is generating a profound social transformation. Today we tell you this human story from the inside. I am 33 years old. I am a single woman of advanced age, and I have really come to the point where no one is interested in me. On May 1, I returned to my town hoping that a relative would introduce me to someone, but it was useless. The holidays are almost over and not a single person has offered to introduce me to a man. Really, no one is interested. Now I understand. Having 33 is not the same as having 23. And now what do I do? Why do you think so many men don't want to get married anymore? Let me tell you some stories. Buying a house costs about 500,000 yuan, although in many cities it already exceeds a million. Let's put the figure down. Buying a car, 100,000 yuan. Traditional dowry, another 100,000 yuan. The three pieces of gold, 30,000 yuan. Ceremony with presenter, 3,000 yuan. Wedding photos, 7,000 yuan. Banquet, 50,000 yuan. Engagement ring, 10,000 yuan. Home renovation, 100,000 yuan. Money for in-laws, 10,000 yuan. All add up to 910,000 yuan. Imagine what that means for an average family. For many, getting married is equivalent to getting completely ruined. And if you come across a demanding, dominant woman who does not tolerate any complaints, who wants to control everything inside and outside the house, how exhausting must someone like that be? Of course, that's why many men are no longer willing to get married. They know they can lose everything, even their financial well-being, in one night. I was born in 1991. I am over 30 years old. I am not married, nor do I have children. Does that make me a failure? Today I have stayed to eat with my friends. We are five, and four we are already classified as single women of advanced age. The oldest is 36. In today's society, that should be something normal, but it is not. My mother called me a few days ago to ask me to find a partner now. She told me, if you can't find someone in real life, look it up on the internet, but do something. If you wait any longer, no one will love you. And what hurts me is that, in part, she is right. As the years go by, you no longer choose. You are chosen, and you are judged. I am not a person who is against marriage. I just think that the more you hurry, the less sense everything has. At this age, it is already difficult to open up to new people and new experiences. I live between home and work. I go out little, and when I get home, I just want to cook quietly. I enjoy my freedom, but I still have hope of finding someone who shares my tune. If it's just about getting married by age, I honestly prefer to be alone. I am 36 years old. I am still single, without a car, no savings. No one introduces me to anyone. I have officially reached the age of marriage invisibility. In the wedding market, I am already a product of liquidation by closure. At this age, almost everyone around me has a family. I am still alone. I used to think I had time, that I could wait calmly. I even avoided blind dates. But now, looking at it from a distance, I think I have simply been slow, naive, and I have missed many opportunities. And what is the fate of these single women of advanced age? The influencer known as Sister Yuan shared a story that leaves a mark. It is a woman with postgraduate studies. When she was young, her standards were very high. Her partner had to measure more than 1.80 meters, earn at least half a million yuan a year, have a house and a car. The result, she spent years and years on dates, without getting married. In today's China, millions of brilliant, prepared and clear-minded women live trapped in a paradox. The more they advance for themselves, the more they are marginalized by a tradition that has not been able to get up to date with their freedom. Perhaps the real problem is not in their decisions, but in a system that still measures the value of a woman for her civil status and not for her personal history. Is it worth waiting for a love that may never come? Or has the time come to rethink as a society what it really means to succeed in life? Because perhaps the greatest act of love is not to surrender to the expectations of others. Economic collapse in China. Families in Shanghai live under a bridge with salaries of only 5 to 8 yuan a month. An impactful portrait of a country in which economic growth clashes with the reality of precarious jobs and without a future. While China boasts record figures in its economy, millions of workers struggle to survive with unworthy salaries and work without a horizon. In cities like Shenzhen or Guangzhou, where skyscrapers do not stop rising, salaries continue to fall. Today we show you the other side of the Chinese miracle. A labor market where competition is fierce, precariousness is the norm and hope is scarce. They only pay 6 yuan per hour. Everything is paid at 6 yuan. This year the market is fatal. 6 yuan and that's it. If you want to work, go ahead. A message from June 2025 from Guangzhou. Can salaries be so low? 5 to 8 yuan a month. Is it possible? I thought it was a mistake, but it was real. In a public company, we saw a salary of between 1 and 1,000 yuan. It is worth studying and getting into debt to end up earning a misery. The contract includes four basic functions and they only pay me 1,800 yuan a month without any kind of insurance. That's all there is. In other words, working 10 hours a day for 30 days, the real salary is only 60 yuan a day. 6 yuan per hour. Do you know why you don't find a job? The conditions of the companies are terrible. Married without children. No. Married with children. No. Single. No. More than 35 years. No. Less than 25. No. Without experience. No. With many previous jobs. No. Always in the same position. No. In reality, any profile is left out by excess or by default. If you have to distribute orders in the rain, paying 4 yuan for carrying a bottle of water to the 6th floor, you end up soaked. I am a transporter or a volunteer in nature. Meanwhile, official data say a 5% unemployment rate, but what about those who work temporarily in shipping, taxis or street stalls? According to experts, the average working day exceeds 48 hours a week. But have the salaries gone up? Have the prices of housing gone down? Can we buy a flat and get married with those salaries? We are on the bridge walkway in front of the East Shenzhen station. Below, dozens of informal workers sleep with just a blanket and their suitcase. They can't even pay 15 yuan for a litter. At 3 in the morning, many in Shanghai sleep in the gaps of the bridges, without shops or shelter. Only 5, 6, 10, dozens. These are not people without opportunities. They are the precarious future of an economy that is crumbling. China's economic expansion has created a market where wages exist, but do not allow people to live. Stable employment has become an illusion, replaced by endless days and ridiculous salaries. We face a dilemma. How to move forward when the pillars of stability, decent work, housing, retirement, are in crisis? This is not just a labor problem, but a social crisis. So much so that while the country boasts macroeconomic figures, the backs of millions suffer under the weight of salaries that are not even enough to survive.
