Editor's note: Researchers have shown that better educated women are more likely to be single in China. Women with a doctoral degree, nicknamed "the third gender", often find it difficult to get a partner. Does higher education dim marriage prospects for women? Forum readers share their opinions.

Women should hold "reasonable" expectations.

Yes. I have several female friends who are single and in their 30s and have completely unreasonable expectations: Handsome, wealthy, tall, etc. Nothing gets mentioned about a man being kind, funny, generous or interesting. It will simply depend on how high they set their standards. If they set them too high then it's perfectly conceivable that they'll end up being single for the rest of their lives. If they have more realistic expectations, this almost certainly won't happen.

I’ve lived in China for quite a considerable time including my graduate school years, travelled and worked in a few cities and still choose my destination taking into consideration the density of smog or PM2.5 particulate matter in the region.
