Firstly, I should say I’m not particularly keen on the term ‘Chinese mail order brides’, the first reason being that it’s quite obviously slightly ridiculous, no one’s going anywhere in a parcel, and secondly, that it’s derogatory, and where Chinese brides are concerned, unwarranted.
Why Do Chinese Women Want To Leave Their Country?
This may surprise you to know, but in actual fact, ratio wise, the majority of Chinese women don’t want to leave their country and would never do so. So this leaves us with a select group of females that do. So what is the difference with these females compared to others? Well, for the most part many of these Chinese women are professionals seeking a new life with someone they can have a deep and meaningful relationship with.
Many of the ones previously married have been disillusioned by Chinese men, as many relationships that I have seen in China are based on out-dated Confucian precepts that emphasis duty rather than love. The ones that haven’t been previously married are seeking to avoid that very same problem, and looking for someone they can have a true and deep commitment with.
Bearing all this in mind, you can see that our so-called ‘Chinese mail order bride’ isn’t quite what many people expect her to be. As opposed to uneducated and poor, most, in fact, come from fairly well-to-do families and can certainly hold their own in any conversation or situation.
Is Having A Chinese Mail Order Bride Really Acceptable?
This form of inter-racial marriage is also more and more common in every city you go to. In my own country I myself have known two men who have married Chinese brides from the mainland, and in the majority of cities no one really looks twice when the couple is multi-racial these days, in fact, when they do the men are usually feeling jealous, and the women are feeling envious of the Chinese woman’s figure!
Whereas before seeking a bride from China would have been irregular, these days it’s nothing of the sort. Economically China is forging ahead, and Chinese women themselves are willing to work at family life in whatever way is needed, and dare I say it, much more willing to ‘give’ in a relationship than most western women.
“…One in Eight Couples Met Online”
With technology and the internet the world has also become a smaller place, so even just fifteen years ago it was unusual to find a married couple who had married after meeting online, but now it’s estimated in the United States alone, one in eight married couples met online! That figure is huge, and I would guess many of those couples are inter-racial, and some, of course, from mainland China.
It is my hope that one day I will never again hear the term ‘Chinese mail order brides’, but for now I hope you can just keep in mind the kind of woman you will probably be meeting when you choose Chinese brides… and let’s not forget to mention how attractive they can be too!
