What Do Chinese Men Want in a Woman?
Chinese men, when they like you, spend heroic amounts of time with you. They’ll escort you to and from classes, take you shopping even though they know their income far outstrips yours, and they will text or call you frequently.
These behaviors support long-standing gender expectations. Among other things, women are expected to be demure and tender in public.
1. Good appearance
In a society where appearance is everything, it’s not surprising that Chinese women are known for their beauty. They are very meticulous when it comes to their looks. They are always looking for ways to improve their skin, makeup, and hair. They also love to eat healthily and exercise regularly. Because of this, they are very slim and have great bodies. They also tend to have great posture, which adds to their overall appeal.
Aside from their appearance, Chinese women also value other qualities in their partners. They want a man who is caring, loyal, and trustworthy. These are the qualities that they see as a reflection of their own values. Moreover, they like to have a partner who is respectful of their family, especially their parents.
Although this may seem like a traditional value, it isn’t that uncommon for young Chinese women to date outside their families. In fact, this is a growing trend in the country. The reason is because of the financial burden that comes with marriage. Many young men feel that they have to secure a good salary before marrying, which is why some even hire “fake” girlfriends on apps such as Hire Me Plz.
Despite this, it is important for young Chinese women to respect their parents and their opinions. This is because their parents may have different views regarding dating and relationships. For instance, they may not approve of their daughters or sons dating someone without their consent. This is because they believe that it is a violation of traditional standards. Similarly, it is also common for Chinese parents to ask their children to look after their elderly relatives.
2. Sense of humor
Like most women around the world, Chinese woman look for good character traits in their men. They want a man who can make them laugh and cheer them up when they are down. They also look for someone who is filial and devoted to their family.
These qualities are important to Chinese women, but not as much in a romantic sense. They would prefer to be with a man who can take care of them emotionally and in financial matters.
While terms deriding men’s behavior have long existed in the English-language world, Yang’s jokes have largely been confined to China so far, mainly due to females finally making their voices heard. This is something that has been long overdue. One interviewee told me that she dated a few Chinese men before finding her husband of eight years, who is a foreigner.
3. Filial
In Chinese culture, a man is considered the foundation of a family. As such, they must provide a certain level of financial security for their future children and spouse. In addition, many families expect their daughters to take care of their elderly parents once they can no longer manage on their own.
For this reason, a Chinese woman wants a man who is filial and respectful to his parents. She also wants him to be able to support his family financially and emotionally. A man who is capable of doing so will earn her trust and admiration.
Interestingly, research suggests that Chinese men tend to be more selective in their dating habits than women. For example, whereas young Chinese females are more willing to have sex on a first date, males are largely unwilling to do so.
Furthermore, young Chinese men place more emphasis on caring qualities in a partner than their female counterparts do. This may be due to the fact that young Chinese are growing up with greater exposure to increasing individualism and Western culture, which is changing how they perceive dating and mate selection.
4. Respect to family
Several studies have examined dating behaviors and attitudes in young Chinese adults, but most of these utilize Western samples. Therefore, this study is unique in that it focuses on gender differences in these dating attitudes and expectations.
Females reported significantly more conservative attitudes concerning dating and mate selection than males, in keeping with long-standing gender stereotypes. Females also exhibited a more significant desire for pragmatic qualities in potential partners. These results may reflect a heightened emphasis on the need for financial success and social status, as well as a societal desire to ensure that females are able to support themselves prior to marriage.
Generally speaking, many Chinese parents strongly discourage their daughters from engaging in dating relationships. They may even refuse to permit their daughter to meet a prospective boyfriend or girlfriend without their approval. This is particularly the case in rural areas, where a man’s ability to provide for his future family may be considered paramount. Consequently, many Chinese men will resort to a range of strategies to secure a wife, including hiring “fake” girlfriends on apps such as Hire Me Plz.
One interviewee, Michelle, described her experience with this phenomenon. She dated a number of Chinese men, but ultimately chose to marry her current husband, who is from Canada. Michelle explained that her decision was not based on his nationality, but rather on the fact that she found him to be very respectful of her and his parents. He was able to stand up for her in a way that many Chinese men are not. This was a major factor in her decision to marry him. She went on to describe that some Chinese men are very passive when it comes to resolving conflicts, and they tend to just wait for the problem to disappear. She believes that foreign men are better at resolving these issues quickly and peacefully.
5. Loyalty
Chinese women are very loyal to their partners. They typically prefer a man who is not only able to provide for their financial needs but also treats them with respect and loyalty. This is a big part of what makes them such great companions and wives. They usually take care of their men and are incredibly supportive of their achievements. They are also very frugal with money, and many successful Western businessmen receive help and advice from their Chinese girlfriends or wives. They are not afraid to put their own interests on the back burner for the sake of their family’s well-being.
Chinese culture places a high value on family and loyalty, so when dating a Chinese woman you must be respectful of her family’s decisions and always keep her best interest in mind. This is especially true for the elder members of her family. Many Chinese people believe that it is their duty to look after their parents when they are older, so you will need to respect this aspect of their culture and their values.
In general, both Chinese females and males have more conservative gender attitudes than their Western counterparts, and these beliefs are likely to influence the dating and relationship behaviors of Chinese youth. For example, regression models indicate that females are more likely to desire pragmatic qualities in their partners (e.g., educated, wealthy, and successful) than their male counterparts.
Similarly, young Chinese men appear to be more willing than their female counterparts to kiss and have sex on a first date. This may reflect their desire to break away from the parental control that is often placed on sex and dating behavior by their families. However, it also suggests that younger Chinese men may be viewing their dating relationships as a pathway toward marriage and the security offered within.
