☆ Rural men in China say they're too poor to afford the massive dowries expected of them. People on social media say it's just an excuse.

Read previewA Chinese state media report about rural men struggling to afford exorbitant dowries has triggered backlash online from people who say the bachelors are missing the point. State-run outlet Legal Daily published an article on Monday covering the dating lives of three rural men in their early 30s, who said they can no longer keep up with rising "betrothal prices." Many accounts, who listed themselves as female on their profiles, say men are using the unattainable dowries as an excuse for their undesirability as partners. It's not about the dowries, people sayRising dowries have unsettled Chinese officials already fretting about plummeting national birth and marriage rates. AdvertisementMeanwhile, it's become increasingly clear that officials are concerned by the growing prevalence of singlehood among rural men, with state media often discussing such bachelors leading loveless lives.

☆ Japan’s population crisis was years in the making – and relief may be decades away

The demographic crisis has become one of Japan’s most pressing issues, with multiple governments failing to reverse the double blow of a falling fertility rate and swelling elderly population. But Japan’s crisis is unique in that it’s been decades in the making, experts say – meaning its impact is particularly evident now, with relief unlikely to come anytime soon. ‘Not reversible’The first thing to understand about Japan’s population crisis is that it’s only partly behavioral, said James Raymo, professor of sociology and demography at Princeton University. As of last year, Japan’s fertility rate sat at 1.3. The real problem is that the fertility rate has been consistently low for so long.

It's by choice, yet she still suffers FOMO when Valentine's Day rolls around. She became a certified matchmaker last year and has organized a speed-dating event ahead of Valentine's Day. Like Valentine's Day, loneliness has become big business, complete with an outpouring of books offering up self help and data. Her best advice for making it through Valentine's Day is as sweet as those candy conversation hearts that circulate this time of year. On Valentine's Day, the project is offering a free Zoom coloring session for anyone who cares to sign up.

☆ I'm dating in my 30s after finding myself newly single. Instead of relying on dating apps like I did in my 20s, I'm trying to meet people in person.

I'm recently single and dating in my 30s is new to me. AdvertisementBeing single is not new to me, but being single while in my 30s is. I figured, if I'm a person of fewer, deeper friendships, why should it be any different when there may be nakedness involved? I take it easy on the appsI'm only on one dating app (I'm also only on one social media app). And now, I also know what I'm looking for in a person and their companionship.

☆ Opinion: American women have an alcohol problem. It’s critical to understand why
  + stars: | 2023-08-01 | by ( Opinion Jill Filipovic | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
CNN —American women have a problem with booze. The messaging around women and drinking has reflected women’s shift toward the dysfunctional, which may then create a vicious cycle as more women see problem drinking cast as cheeky, fun or normal. And more women may now be paying the price for this normalization of alcohol abuse. I suspect many of them are turning to alcohol as one way to dull the painful reality of isolation. None of that will end alcohol abuse, which has been a centuries-long problem.
