Dorks of China, rejoice! According to a survey sponsored by China Matchmaker and the Chinese Academy of Marriage and Family, as long as you don’t mind marrying a woman over the ripe old age of 30, you’ve got a pretty good field to choose from. Stats from the article:

Of the men surveyed, about 65 percent said that they wanted to marry a woman between the ages of 25 and 28
Only about 25 percent of men surveyed said they’d even reluctantly marry a 30-year-old woman
And when a woman reaches 35 years old, only 12.5 percent of the guys surveyed would accept her as a wife

On the other hand…

One third of the women surveyed said they’d be willing to marry a man as old as 35 years old
And about 15 percent of the women surveyed said they’d marry a guy in his forties.

So there you have it, my socially-awkward Chinese friends. No matter what your age is, you’ve got a pretty good chance of being able to find a woman to marry you once all the rich, good-looking, socially-aware guys have had their pick. Unfortunately for you, Chinese men still largely outnumber Chinese women. So you’d better quit playing WoW and get busy wooing some woman before the dork down the street gets her first.
