Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 269 Sorting
"Everyone can take notes. I see that many of the female students here have brought notebooks, but they haven't opened them yet."

"If you're really worried about wasting ink, you can open the notes app on your phone."

“I’ll mention a few points to consider when getting married. Please take notes and see how you would rank them in your opinion.”

Zhang Zhe's reminder may only be meaningful to those who are looking forward to marriage, but judging from the actions of the students present, more than half of the boys and girls took action.

Clearly, despite the continued decline in marriage rates and the pessimistic outlook on marriage among many, young students still have the desire to get married.

However, most of them quickly lose interest in marriage within a few years after graduation due to various factors.

"Okay, now I'll talk about the first major point, which is called hard conditions."

"The term 'hard criteria' only refers to the quantifiable aspects of a boy or girl at the moment of scoring."

"Common factors include family background. Those who have watched online dating videos may know that nowadays, terms like A7 and A8 are used to distinguish family backgrounds."

"Similar factors include: height, weight, age, education, appearance, parents' jobs, whether there are siblings, the location of the family's property, and personal income and debt."

"These are all mandatory requirements."

"When you're dating, you don't usually think about these things, but more and more people are realizing that if you're going to get married, you can't ignore these things."

Zhang Zhe cleared his throat.

Seeing many girls below diligently writing, he felt quite satisfied.

"Next is the second point: planning for the future."

"This is easy to understand. If any of the students here have dated in high school and had to break up in college, they should have already experienced this."

"If dating is like this, wouldn't marriage be twice as bad?"

"Currently, in our industry, we generally focus on examining several key issues:"

Where will we settle in the future? How will we arrange for our parents' retirement? Will we have children? How many children? And so on.

"The next point is the third point: values."

"I probably don't need to go into detail about this, right?"

"If two people have vastly different values, whether it's their views on life, consumption, or even their concepts of family, even if they force themselves to stay together, they will eventually go their separate ways."

"Okay, let's summarize these three points for now."

"Is there anyone willing to stand up and help us rank these three points in order of priority?"

Zhang Zhe gestured to the students present to invite them in.

After going from left to right, from the first row to the last row, and making a full circle, a lot of people suddenly raised their hands within a few seconds.

It's not that people aren't supportive, it's just that Zhang Zhe gave us so much information that we're still processing it!

"You, the guy in the second-to-last row, the one wearing the floral shirt who looks a bit like Arnold Schwarzenegger."

"Ahem." The boy stood up and straightened his clothes first: "Let me say this first, I don't look like Arno. My hair just got messed up yesterday."

"Regarding the points you just mentioned, I think the one with the highest score is values."

"If two people have very different values, they will definitely not be happy together."

"Secondly, I think it's about future planning. Marriage is a long-term thing, and if the plans are different, they will eventually go their separate ways."

"The last thing is the hard requirement..."

"Hmm." Zhang Zhe nodded after listening: "It seems you have high standards for the spiritual realm."

"Are there any people who have different ideas from him?"

Upon hearing this, half of the people who had raised their hands lowered them, and most of those who remained were girls.

Zhang Zhe randomly picked one.

"I think the most important thing is definitely the hard requirements."

The girl stood up and said in a strong and clear voice:

"If two people grow up in similar family environments and receive similar educations, then their values, future plans, and many other similarities will not be too different." "Even if there are differences, they may be overcome."

"On the contrary, hard conditions are the hardest things to change, especially one's family of origin, which can never be changed in a lifetime."

"Like me, my parents are both university professors. I will most likely marry a man whose parents are also intellectuals. Even if one of us loves music and the other loves literature, our good education will make us respect each other and treat each other with courtesy."

"But what if I were to marry a boy from a rural family, whose mother-in-law only has an elementary school education? She might secretly sell all the rare, out-of-print books I've collected as waste paper."

"No matter how much your values ​​align with this kind of thing, it's still not okay..."

After the girl finished speaking, Zhang Zhe nodded very slightly: "What you said earlier was quite good, but you shouldn't have included your own agenda later."

"This student has realized that marriage is not just a matter between two people; their families also get involved."

"So the easiest way is to find someone who is your equal in social standing."

"Alright, it's almost time, so I won't call on a third student to speak. If anyone is interested, you can go down and continue the discussion."

"What I can tell you is that the matchmaking industry is currently considering the three points I just mentioned one by one in the order I put them out."

"Hard requirements come first, while values ​​and other spiritual aspects come last."

"Why? Because I'm a matchmaker. When we help with matchmaking, we can only guarantee a minimum standard."

"Are values ​​important? Of course they are, but they can be faked and are hard to detect. We can't protect them even if we want to."

Zhang Zhe helplessly shrugged.

He was telling the truth. Even for him, only by using the various items provided by the system could he somewhat guarantee the lower limit of the third point.

Both dating and blind dates have been clearly explained.

Zhang Zhe then took the opportunity to state the theme of his speech for the day:

"Some students might ask, 'Teacher, you've been talking for so long, but I don't feel like it's helping me at all.'"

"In the end, won't they still have to rely on you matchmakers to keep things in line? Are you here to solicit business?"

"No, it's not like that at all," Zhang Zhe said, unable to suppress a laugh. "I don't need your pittance."

"Besides earning appearance fees, I came here for another reason, which is that I think the third point I mentioned earlier, namely values, is something that matchmakers have a hard time discerning."

"But isn't it easy to spot when you're at school?"

"After all, I can see that most of you wear your emotions on your sleeves. You might be able to pretend for a little while, but can you keep up the act for four whole years of college?"

"Perhaps you can also use this scoring system for marriage?"

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Thank you everyone."

Zhang Zhe's speech came to an abrupt end.

This was intentional on his part, with the aim of giving everyone room for thought.

If you know the three key points to consider when dating in college, and only when you get married, doing so might seem a bit utilitarian, but it will definitely be beneficial for your marriage.

Even if you were initially driven by hormones and didn't think things through, when faced with major life decisions, such as taking the postgraduate entrance exam, applying for a master's program, finding a job, or being selected for a government position, and these decisions conflict with your romantic relationship, you should consider the relationship between the two people in the context of marriage...

It will definitely be of great benefit.

After Zhang Zhe finished speaking, he planned to go backstage without waiting for the applause from the audience. This is usually the case for very impressive speeches; the main speaker has already left before the audience belatedly bursts into prolonged applause, and some people even stand up to applaud.

However, Zhang Zhe seemed to have forgotten that he was not only here to give a speech, but some people also hoped that he would do something else.

So just as he was about to turn around, a girl suddenly stood up:
"Teacher, please wait a moment."

"I have a question I'd like to ask."

Zhang Zhe turned around in confusion, and the students on the scene also looked at the girl who stood up with curiosity.

"Excuse me, what do you want to ask? I'm about to wrap up."

"Teacher, there are still 20 minutes left in the activity." The girl smiled demurely, then said loudly, "I'm a senior in college, about to graduate, and I've never been in a relationship. I'd like to ask you for advice on my marriage prospects, is that alright?"
