两成姐弟恋能修成正果 |
| 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. |
《广州日报》消息，“光棍节”又要到了，记者采访发现，“姐弟恋”已经越来越被单身男女所接受，但能接受的年龄差距一般在五岁之内。婚恋专家认为，就目前而言，“姐弟恋”在中国应该是算刚刚兴起，但相比以前要多很多。成功的也不多，大约只有20%是能够修成正果的。由于男人的婚龄段长于女人，“姐弟恋”还可以解决剩女问题。 |
