兩成姐弟戀能修成正果 |
| Bachelor's Day is coming. According to an investigation, love between younger men and older women is becoming increasingly more acceptable among singles in China, but the age gap should be within 5 years, reports the Guangzhou Daily. A marriage expert said the trend of romance between younger men and older women just started in China. Only 20% of the couples end up married. Since the standard age for men to get married is older than women, romance between younger men and older women could solve the unmarried, single-woman dilemma. |
