Q: How do Chinese people meet significant others?

Almost all Chinese people I know never go out to the bars on the weekends and just work, work, work all the time during the week. But lots have plans to get married pretty young. Where do they meet these significant others?

The internet has become a fantastic antidote to those who are too scared/nervous/unaccustomed to the meet-n-greet culture.

Chinese dating websites are a dime a dozen, and these offer a discreet way of meeting someone who fulfils their 'criteria' (as it's said that marriage/relationships in China are often about convenience rather than love... that's the traditional view anyway)

www.baihe.com is the most popular with something crazy like 30 million users, and 200,000 new users signing up every day!

But there are loads more, and often people find each other through QQ, or playing online computer games.

Be prepared for the next generation of Chinese uber-geeks!

At college. We have 26 people in our class, 6 got married after graduate.
And also blind date, so many people do this. It's effective, as both part on the date want to get married. Not really hard to get married.

It is just like buying a new car. First the model, then the specific extras you want. Take your list and go shopping.

Chinese women choose to marry at a certain time to a certain kind of man with specific qualities. Once she has her list, it is just like going to the free market and buying a slab of pork.

Love and attraction have nothing to do with it.

It is cold and calculated.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
