he price of true love?
Everyone knows that dating can be expensive; forking out a bit of cash to buy drinks or meals in the early stages of a relationship, or buying gifts and holidays later on.
No longer content to just have the awkward meeting to hand each others' stuff back, break-up fees have emerged in recent years in China as a sort of compensation at the end of a long-term relationship.
While not legally binding, it's a bit like one party giving their former partner a divorce settlement.

h women can seem quite cold and hard to get; Shanghainese are even tougher. Of course as always the stereotype misrepresents a certain percentage of the population so this is by no means a generalization, but there is most definitely a marked pride and sense of superiority in the average Shanghainese gal that trumps that of Parisians. Even the most modest ones give off a condescension of sorts, and speaking Shanghainese is by far one of their biggest prides and binding glue.
The Shanghainese girl will have her boyfriend carry her handbag for her and is definitely the dominant in the couple. Very strong-minded, smart and with high expectations, she is not easy to seduce. If we consider the fact that Chinese men already have the disadvantage of being far superior in number than Chinese women (because of the one child policy mainly, but the increasing number of foreign men coming and taking some for themselves doesn’t help!), the Shanghainese woman can be even more picky with her suitors. And doesn’t she know it! Income, status, height, education, appearance, age… There is a box for each and if one isn’t ticked, chances of success for the Chinese man become very, very slim. In their picking men, unlike us (or is it just me?) it seems like they hardly swoon and ogle over them. The Shanghainese woman judges, rational, pragmatism and all, and you can hear her thinking “so what have you got to offer… hmmm, great”.
