Singles Paying for Love: Coaching Services as a Solution to Loneliness in China
As the number of lonely hearts grows in China, dating coaches are capitalizing on this opportunity. In a bustling city like Chengdu, Zhang Wenjie found himself at a seven-day dating workshop offered by PUAMAP, a Chinese pickup company known as Langji Education.
After countless unsuccessful blind dates and with mounting pressure from his parents, Zhang sought help from the workshop he pd 19,800 yuan $3,120 for. He says, I can't understand girls, pointing out that his financial stability doesn't alleviate societal expectations to marry by a certn age.
The workshop is run by Wang Huanyu, who established PUAMAP in 2012 with the m of solving dating issues faced by men. According to their website, over 80,000 men have found solutions to their relationship problems through PUAMAP last year alone.
Wang Huanyu counters misconceptions about pickup artistry as merely a superficial technique for attracting women. He emphasizes respect for women, honest intentions, and equality in relationships – all qualities he says are central to his trning program.
A different approach comes from Wu Di, who launched a dating camp catering mnly to women after experiencing the pressures of being considered an 'overaged' woman seeking marriage. Her work with Liu Zhong, a salsa instructor offering complementary dance courses and workshops, addresses this societal pressure felt by Chinese women aged over 27.
Wu Di shares her experience of heartbreak that led her to seek new ways of living her life beyond the confines of marriage or singleness. She on self-improvement, emotional intelligence, and understanding one's own needs rather than settling for societal expectations.
Wu Di says, Marriage is not a necessity. Her goal is to prevent women from getting married merely out of convention, especially when they're under the age of 30, by advocating for personal fulfillment regardless of marital status.
