Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 185 Double Standards?

This guy is 25 years old now, and he'll still be quite popular in the market for gigolos until he turns 30.

His appearance usually doesn't change much during this period, as long as he keeps his weight under control.

There are few good-looking girls in the dating market, and even fewer good-looking guys. He can certainly make more demands.

The boy had good comprehension skills; after listening to Zhang Zhe's words, he nodded and said:

“Learning from gold diggers is fine. I’ve met many of them, and I know their routines very well.”

"Then I think one house and one car are not enough."

“I think those girls would ask for at least 38 yuan in betrothal gifts on top of that, plus four gold items and a change-of-address fee.”

Oh no, he's learned something real!

Yes, yes, that's the taste!

But it's unlikely that many girls would accept this kind of request, right?

Even normal men find it hard to accept gold diggers.

This world is so crazy right now, I can only comfort myself with the idea that existence is its own justification.

“I don’t think this is right,” Ms. Tong couldn’t help but say to Zhang Zhe, “No one marries into another family like this. Who can afford to offer such conditions?”

"If you can't afford it, someone else can."

Zhang Zhe smiled slightly. Considering the occasion, he didn't go all out like he would in a live broadcast and spoke much more restrainedly.

He told his older brother who wanted to live off his wife:

“I know the situation you’re talking about, but you have to be like that girl and accept that the woman is 15 years older than you or has a previous marriage.”

“I can accept that.” The man’s tone was very confident. He even said to Ms. Tong, “It’s fine if you don’t have children. Given my situation, if I do have children, it will definitely be the woman who raises them. I don’t have the ability to raise them, so whether or not I have children is not up to me.”

"I wouldn't even mind if you kept a mistress, as long as you kept it low-key and didn't let my colleagues and bosses at work find out."

"Brother, your ideas are very advanced." Zhang Zhe gave the man a thumbs up. He was really after the money, and his thinking was very clear.

He wanted to earn money while standing up.

"To be honest, just keep this line of thinking when you start looking."

"Why worry that our great undertaking will not be accomplished?"

"But let me warn you, be careful of pig butchering scams. Also, don't believe the tricks about only daughters from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai leaving their fathers and keeping their sons. If you're looking for a long-term meal ticket, look for someone who will provide you with a meal ticket."

"Okay, I understand." The boy nodded, stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute to Zhang Zhe, and said, "You are the most honest matchmaker I have ever met."

"I'll write you a good review later."

"Hey, handsome, don't go!" Ms. Tong stood up for the first time to stop the young man as he was about to leave, saying, "We haven't finished talking yet."

"What else do we need to talk about?" the boy asked, standing up.

Zhang Zhe also looked at the woman with the same puzzled expression.

If you can't provide a dowry of 38, then don't stop her from going to someone better.

“We can discuss the dowry. At worst, I won’t ask for a bride price, and you won’t ask for a dowry.”

"It's not up to me to say right now. I'll have to go back and ask my parents. But I can tell you right now that there's no problem with the house."

"Let's add each other on WeChat first, and then we can discuss the details, okay?"

"Okay." The boy smiled and nodded, then sat down again.

Is that all there is to it?

[It seems that it's relatively easy for men working within the system to be kept by women.]

[The main reason is that this guy has a stable job; most women don't have this advantage.]

Zhang Zhe never expected that the relationship between the man and woman would progress so smoothly.

He was about to greet the next boy in line.

The only explanation is that the woman's family had considered the option of a son-in-law living with her family in the wife's family long ago, but hadn't found a suitable one yet. Thinking about it carefully, sons-in-law working in the public sector are far superior to men in other industries.

Most importantly, the job is respectable. In the minds of many ordinary people, "working within the system" is almost equivalent to "being an official." It's so prestigious to marry an official and become his son-in-law.

A son-in-law who lives with his wife's family can bring prestige, so for the father-in-law and mother-in-law, this is naturally a good choice.

Secondly, people in the system generally care about their reputation, and their marriages are relatively stable. If you live off your wife and still dare to have affairs outside, and your wife's family comes to your workplace to make a scene, you'd better resign obediently.

In comparison, having time to take care of children and the ability to handle household chores are just side advantages.

If you think about why many middle-class or moderately wealthy families are willing to marry women working in government or public institutions, you'll understand how much of an advantage men in these sectors have in being kept women.

Zhang Zhe silently watched as the man and woman in front of him exchanged WeChat contacts.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shouldn't this be considered a pair?
After the man left, just as he was about to stand up and announce that he had succeeded, the woman suddenly waved to the middle-aged man who had been queuing and was now preparing to leave.

"It's your turn."

"?" Zhang Zhe sat down again: "Do you still want to have your picture taken?"

"You're not satisfied with that boy from earlier?"

“I’m satisfied, but I don’t necessarily have to choose him.” The girl thought it through clearly: “That guy will definitely go on to see other girls later. If he meets someone with better conditions and a bigger dowry, he will definitely choose someone else.”

"So I can't put all my eggs in one basket."

“That makes sense.” Zhang Zhe nodded. The girl was right; he had oversimplified the problem.

The guy just now definitely compared prices from several vendors before deciding which one to buy from.

It's perfectly reasonable for girls to chat more.

He quickly gestured for the last guy to sit down:

"Come on, big brother, it's your turn."

"Why don't you exchange some information?"

"Okay." The new guy wasn't very good-looking, but he loved to smile. He would smile whenever he said something, and his gums would almost show. He seemed like an optimist.

Zhang Zhe glanced at the other party's license plate.

While the two sides were exchanging information, he also took a look at his older brother's information, wanting to see why he was so happy.

My brother was born in 89 and is currently at the critical age of 36.

He had been married once before, but he and his wife separated due to "incompatibility." He was quite capable and won custody of their child, who is now in elementary school.

His parents have both passed away, so his son is his only relative.

My brother owns two apartments in Qingdao: one is his wedding home, and the other is an old, dilapidated apartment left to him by his parents. His total assets are around 200 million yuan.

He was a junior manager at his company, earning about 18 yuan a year. Fortunately, after being promoted, his work became relatively easy, and he could occasionally do side jobs, earning about 25 yuan a year.

Zhang Zhe rarely saw a male student write such detailed information.

Correspondingly, his requirements for choosing a partner were also clearly stated:

He wants to find a girl who is younger than him, doesn't have children, but likes children and is preferably good at housework.

I can accept divorced women who have never had children, but I cannot accept women who have had children, are divorced, and do not want their children.

"Matchmaker, isn't his request a bit unreasonable?" The woman looked at the information and suddenly asked Zhang Zhe, "He has children himself, so why does he require others to be childless?"

Isn't this a blatant double standard?

"Do you have children?" Zhang Zhe asked in return.

"No."

"Then why are you worrying about this?" Zhang Zhe said helplessly. "This older brother's request is very reasonable. If you can't understand it, just focus on things that concern you."
