“Once I dated a man who boasted how many properties he owned. Irene Fung, a 40-something businesswoman, said men who are still active in the dating market that she had encountered are usually incapable of genuine communication, have low standards for themselves, fear commitment, and lack self-confidence.

If a Kong man does not have a promising career or the ability to take care of a woman, Hong Kong women will not date him,” she said. “They seem to be like ‘kidults.’ They are obsessed with video games and figurines. “They are women who have a great education, a successful career, and a pretty face and just don’t want to settle for less,” Lai said. That’s because they want a man who is financially independent and won’t turn around asking them for money or take advantage of them. But, she added, many do aim for a man with a monthly income somewhere between HK$80,000 and HK$100,000 (roughly US$10,300 to US$12,900). According to Fan Lai, a professional counselor who deals with relationship problems and family issues, few Hong Kong women are looking to marry a scion of a property tycoon. Hong Kong women have long been accused of being materialistic and eyeing money, but there is a reason for it.

Don’t become one of those gold-digging, delusional Kong nui (a derogatory term for Hong Kong women) or a successful career woman. In recent years, the fearful message has spread: Hong Kong is running out of men! So ladies, if you don’t want to end up as an old maid and die alone, you must hurry and “get real.” Don’t be picky and only go after men who have a “good package.” Cure your “princess syndrome” and stop being a spoiled brat. A recent report revealed that last year there were over 1 million women aged 15 or above who had never been married, versus 962,700 men who hadn’t tied the knot-so technically, at least, 37,300 women are destined to remain single, and this doesn’t even factor in whether any of the 962,700 men are gay. Government statistics show that the number of men per 1,000 women dropped significantly from 1,087 in 1981 to 858 in 2014. Women have long been the victims in an ongoing battle of the sexes in Hong Kong over the past three decades. “It’s Kong men who should get real and stop blaming us women.” It’s about whether I want that man in my life. “It’s not about whether someone wants to marry me.
