China's leftover women-intelligent and charming

Ratfink (Australia)

Women here in Australia are not considered "leftover" if they don't marry young, but in many families the parents will hint to girls and to a lesser extent boys that it's time to start looking for a partner. It's more subtle and most families have the interest of the children at heart. If the kids don't want to marry then it's okay. From what I've seen, it's the mothers who are the pushiest, mostly due to the bragging rights associated with grandchildren. They are known to nag single daughters and suggest suitable mates. Just how much of this goes on and is serious rather than light-hearted is a matter of some speculation.

What I do know is that by the time people are 50 in Australia some 40 percent will be living on their own.
