[quote=JHALLUCINE,235136]I think it comes from both the pressure (from family, peers, general societal expectation) and the great insecurity one is bound to feel in the modern Chinese society, where free love and dating as common now in the West is not a very accessible option for most people (young and old) in China. You kinda get the feel that it's hard to meet a lot of new people at all, and if and when you do meet one eligible person, even if you have just met him or her (esp. him, for 'nice' guys are almost always a rarer commodity than girls), or you aren't that crazy about this person but thought it just as well would do. On the other hand the social structure and tradition is shaking up in the more urban crowd, and you see a lot of anonymous internet dating/sex, DINKs, middle-aged swingers...a confused and promiscuous lot. But the general trend is to get into a marriage FIRST, and then do whatever you want, quick divorce included...[/quote]
