Part 6/16:
The picture becomes even more complex during matchmaking events designed for affluent singles. A recent event in Shenzhen, costing around $140 and hosted at a private club, brought together about 30 participants, with roughly half being men and women. While some men appeared visibly wealthy, owning assets worth tens of millions, most were noticeably older than the women, with only a handful born in the '90s. The event was formal, featuring introductions, activities, and meals, but the enthusiasm from men was tepid; many were not proactive in establishing connections or exchanging contact information.
