No Woman No cry




A published report the other day stated that

Some 24 million Chinese men of marrying age will find themselves lacking wives in 2020, partly because of the country's one-child policy, which has led to the abortion of female fetuses, state media said Monday.

Those poor Chinese guys don’t have it easy, first they have to worry about white-guys preying on young Asian chicks which I’m sure was a bit of a national black-eye but now the roulette wheel is coming up empty for 24 million of them based on the ‘one child’ policy.

So if you own beach-front property in Korea you better watch out because I predict that come 2020 there will be 24 million testosterone driven savages who will be invading your country looking for some Asian poon.

The other issue to this is one that deals with age disparity between husband and wives. As people keep aborting Chinese girls a generation later by the time that generation hits marrying age there will be that many less girls on the market.   If there are no 21 to 25 year old girls who are still single they are going to look at 20 or 19 year olds and when those shelves are empty they will have to look at ones under 18. The guys on the other hand will keep coming up empty and will keep getting older so the age disparity will only get more pronounced. There is probably already a major void in available women today but as the generations go on this will only get more obvious.


There is a whole other issue: I heard the following analysis about China once, in a society with only one child each person grows up without brothers or sisters, but it’s more critical than that because no brothers or sisters means no cousins in the next generation, no second cousins in the generation after that etc. etc. They will also grow up with no uncles or aunts. Before you know it there won’t be any family members of the same generation left at all. Imagine the ‘only child syndrome’ which ensures your kid will be a bratty spoiled soul but then make it the only child in an entire extended family syndrome.
