Another 1,000-Person Matchmaking Event Sees Zero Men, Leaving China's Leftover Women Awkward


In this video, we explore the latest in a series of large-scale matchmaking events in Shenzhen, where, once again, almost no men attended. This phenomenon highlights the growing gender imbalance in the matchmaking market and the challenges facing China’s "leftover women" as they search for marriage prospects. Why are men increasingly reluctant to participate in these events, leaving women in an awkward situation?

We delve into the underlying factors, including high entry fees for men, the shifting marriage values in China, and the rising standards women hold for potential partners. Discover how economic realities and social expectations are reshaping the marriage market and why economically successful men and young men alike are choosing to avoid matchmaking events. Join us as we unpack the impact of this trend on China’s marriage market, the cultural pressures on single women, and the shifting attitudes of Chinese men.
