June 16, 2009 – The trend of many urban female Chinese has within the past several years manifested a preference to wait it out for “Mr. Right” to arrive and not subscribe to the age honored tradition of early marriage and children in order to meet parental and social expectations. What are all these Chinese women doing with their time and how are they expending their feminine energy and traditional nesting instinct if not in pursuit of Chinese men? At least one source seems to have the answer to this social phenomenon and apparent Westernization of Chinese women. OrientBrides.com, a fast growing online resource for Western men wanting to connect with Asian women for friendship and marriage, has recently seen a significant spike in registration from ladies in major Chinese cities…Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Western men have long considered Asian women ideal companions and superlative wives because of their unique appeal and traditional values. Now the sense of admiration seems to be returned as Chinese women are joining virtual communities and marriage websites in droves in their pursuit of Mr. Right in the form of a Western male.

Statistics from OrientBrides.com seem to support the fact that even though Chinese women may be prone to selectivity when choosing a mate, many seem to prefer the company of Western men as evidenced by the increasing number of Chinese women actively seeking love and romance online from the West. Embracing Western men and values has been a trend among women in China for the past decade at least. This follows a development that combines traditional Asian values with a movement towards Westernization for the 456 million Chinese women of marriage age, outnumbered by a mere 3% or just over 16 million males. According to a recent American study, 45.3 percent of Chinese women oppose giving up a career for a family life, 72 percent of female executives believe being a ‘career lady’ does not contradict being a ‘family woman, 51 percent of female professionals believe they can balance their careers and their family lives and 88 percent of consider themselves good in handling their personal relationships

The adaptation of these Western values mixed with solid traditional beliefs creates a profound and very attractive package for a Western man seeking compatibility with an Asian woman and vice versa. In the end it could be the dawn of a brave new cross-cultural world.
