I am in my fourth-year study in colleague. I am seeking a man who is below 32 years old but taller than 170 cm. Most importantly, he must earn more than 8000 yuan per month and he should have an apartment and a car…” says a girl’s marriage ad. In Shenzhen, there are many college students who have the same plan like the girl who posted her marriage ad above. With ordinary family background and no social connections, they can not find a good job after graduation. Thus, they change their plan---marrying a successful man instead of seeking a job. If they can find such a man, they will not worry about their future lives. To them, marriage is the shortcut to success. Will they be successful?

Be in a marriage, they have everything, be out of it, they have nothing. Also, won't they lose themselves in such a life? I need my little career and want my life to be colorful. Marriage will be only a part of it.

GUEST4924	Do they ever think abou this question? What makes them so sure that the successful men will marry them? A young girl who has no job require to marry a man with apartment, car and savings. She asks too much. What else can she provide to the man who marries her except she is young and pretty?

Those who haven't found such a man needn't feel disappointed. You have a chance to be successful by your own efforts. Those who are married with a rich guy can never have a chance to experience it.

What if you don't find the one you love and who loves you, but you are big enough and your parents really want you to get married.

I know many people just marry for a marriage.

Well, not all people think in the same way like you. All they care is how to get money without hard work.
