You may recall that in the early days of the Russian-Ukrainian war, there was a disgusting quote on the Internet: take in Ukrainian girls aged 16-25
However, there is a serious topic:
Are Chinese men popular in the Western marriage market?
Let's start with the answer: Unfortunately, maybe even black people are inferior to black people.
Behind the war is life and death, not jokes
The pain of making fun of others is not only greasy, but also very obscene.
When it comes to Ukraine, many people naturally think of the beauty of Ukraine.
Indeed, Ukrainian girls are not only blonde and beautiful, but also tall.
In China, there are also many Ukrainian girls in the modeling industry, which has made countless Chinese men chase Ukrainian beauties.
But the question is, are Ukrainian girls really not married to Chinese men?
First of all, some people have such ideas, mainly from the current economic situation in Ukraine.
As we all know, after independence in Ukraine, domestic inflation was extremely severe and gross national income per capita stagnated due to the lack of economic transformation and the exploitation of domestic oligarchs.
In January 2021, Ukrainian officials announced that the average monthly salary in the country was 650 billion yuan (about 1,367 yuan). But for this figure, the local Ukrainian media even think it is a bit high, because most people simply can't reach it.
Take Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, for example. The income of the working class is basically maintained between 9000-12000 hryvnia (about 1894-2525 yuan).
If you look at the income of ordinary Ukrainian workers, waiters and cleaners, it is basically only 5,000 hryvnia (about 1,052 yuan) per month; even high-income doctors, lawyers and financial practitioners have an average income of only 20,000 hryvnia (about 4,208 yuan).
Of course, ukraine must have people with higher incomes, but they certainly don't belong to the working class.
In addition, due to the continued economic downturn, many Ukrainians with certain skills and channels choose to emigrate abroad.
In the 20 years from 2000 to 2020, more than 8 million Ukrainians (population 50 million) emigrated to Europe and around the world.
Second, due to the lack of a good economic growth model in Ukraine, a large amount of money flows into the pockets of the oligarchs, resulting in a sharp rise in domestic unemployment. It is difficult for women to find jobs, which leads to all kinds of "gray jobs".
If you search online for "Ukrainian beauty", in addition to a lot of compliments, it's more about the current situation of many of them engaged in sex trafficking and surrogacy.
Ukrainian women can only choose to live in large brothels in order to achieve faster sex in Europe.
Economic difficulties have led to a rampant sex trading industry in Ukraine
In fact, in the early years, Ukraine punished both parties to the sex trade very harshly. Detaining it is a criminal offense and sending it directly to jail.
However, due to the increase in popular sexual intercourse, the Ukrainian government was forced to deregulate.
In 2006, Ukraine amended its own legislation to separate prostitution from criminal offences. If caught, it's just a fine.
The fine is not much, 700 hryvnia, about 147 yuan.
A sex trader can earn nearly 5,000 hryvnias almost a day, which is almost equivalent to a month's salary for the average Ukrainian.
Only the fines gave confidence to these sex traders, but also gave the Ukrainian government more revenue. Dirty, but no way.
As for surrogacy, it is also because Ukraine has changed its laws to make surrogacy an industry that attracts people around the world who want children.
It can be said that this is the most intuitive impression of Ukraine by most people in China.
Therefore, some people think that Ukrainian beauties will wait for their own "salvation".
The penetration rate of Ukrainian universities is very high
But marrying a Ukrainian beauty is often wishful thinking on some people's part.
In fact, this is the same question as "whether European and American women are willing to marry Asian men".
Objectively speaking, European and American women, including Ukraine, are often reluctant to choose Asians as husbands.
The reason is simple. Racial differences make it difficult to "look good" at each other.
Don't mention body hair, chest hair, and odors. The key is to grow up in a different environment than childhood.
Most European, American and Ukrainian girls see tall, burly white men from an early age. Their concept of mate selection naturally favors stronger, more majestic compatriots and the opposite sex of the same race, which also has an intrinsic genetic factor.
In addition, no matter how independent and strong the personality, whether Asian or European, as women, they always want to find a man to rely on when they are tired.
However, Asian height alone can hardly meet the needs of these white women.
According to the latest world population height statistics released by the United Nations, Europeans are generally taller than 1.77 meters.
Among them, the average height of Ukrainians is 1.78 meters.
Women should naturally be shorter, but generally not less than 1.75 meters; otherwise, ukraine would not have as many T-shaped stage models.
This height has exceeded the average height of Chinese of 1.69 meters
In 2021, the average height of Chinese men was 169.7 cm.
In fact, even Chinese bloggers who marry Ukrainian beauties on the internet, you'll find that they actually come to the "higher elevation" regions of the northeast and Shandong.
For Ukrainian women, even Asian-American men may not be popular with their appearance.
In 2017, a 2017 study of the emergence of races in the world at Cardiff University in the United Kingdom found that asian men scored even lower than blacks in the impression of Europeans, with only 3.781 (out of 10) and black 4.994.
Survey of National Appearance Impressions at Cardiff University, UK
An important reason for this impression is that in the promotion of European and American movies and TV series, Asians either look a little silly or look like a skinny dry figure. In terms of image and temperament, there are few outstanding figures.
Statistics from many foreign marriage and dating platforms also show that for European and American women, the most popular objects are European and American white men, black people, and finally Asians.
In European and American movies and TV series, Asians are generally short
Even more embarrassing is that even when Asians wear Western-like denim-like clothes according to The "masculine aesthetics" of Europe and the United States, they always seem to have a sense of disobedience.
While the above figures are actually a consistent manifestation of European arrogance and contempt for Asians, to some extent, it also represents the actual situation of Asian men in the international "blind date" market.
In addition, the extremely different languages and cultural practices are also a chasm that Chinese men cannot overcome.
For example, the official language of Ukraine is Ukrainian, but most people also understand Russian.
Most Chinese study math in English. Russian is another language system. It is not learned from childhood, nor does it have a unique language environment. It is much harder to learn than English.
Similarly, other European countries have complex local language systems. Being able to speak, understand, and thoroughly understand a language, or even the culture of a country, is not the same concept.
Cultural differences are more troublesome than language.
Chinese will argue whether tofu is salty or sweet, and there will be greater deviations in the historical and cultural backgrounds of different countries, living customs, and different attitudes towards supporting the elderly and raising children.
The question is, is the tofu salty or sweet?
At the same time, differences in personality bring with them perceptions and solutions to different things, which is also an inevitable reality.
Europeans and Americans are relatively blunt, and their approach to things is far less subtle and gentle than Chinese. This attitude towards life is also difficult to be accepted by Chinese families.
I'm sure both Asians and Europeans agree that the most important thing to do to find a partner is to find someone who shares all three points of view.
Instead, Asian women are the best choice for many white men.
For example, on the famous international dating app Where you interest, you'll find Asian women being the favorites of white men.
Depending on your interests, Asian women are more popular
This may be because Asian women are generally milder and have better skin than many white women. Coupled with their innate intelligence and slim stature, they were naturally more popular with white men than other races.
Back to today's topic, Ukraine has a lot of beautiful women, and the domestic economy is really difficult. However, for the reasons mentioned above, they may not be as willing to marry a Chinese man as advertised on the internet.
However, if you have no problem with your language, the "altitude" is high, there is a lot of gold, and you happen to be in Ukraine, this wish may not be difficult to achieve.
For domestic male friends, the idea of marrying a Ukrainian beauty is beautiful, but perhaps more suitable for you is a gentle and lovely Chinese girl next to you.
In conclusion, we still wish to maintain a common affection for the Ukrainian people who are still suffering.
After all, today we are playing tricks on the weak, and who can guarantee that we or our families will not become weak in the future?
