Now, when my wife told me about this, I told her that the "left-over" woman is better being single, than she is with a "microwave" man. My wife asked what I meant, and I explained. When I hear "left-over", I think of food. I get the image of dry, chewy, left-over meatloaf. That's not pleasant. Following the meal metaphors, I started think of the "microwave" man. The idea is that the man is a one of those microwave meals. It is a fast meal, that serves the purpose, but lacks the overall substance to be truly fulfilling. A woman marring a "microwave" man is like eating a pepperoni Hot Pocket, instead of eating a pepperoni pizza. Yes, it has the same general ingredients - and yes, it has the same general taste - but you know damn well that nothing can replace that pizza. "Microwave" men are the Hot Pockets of the pizza world.
Speaking of "microwave" men, Chinese men need to step the fuck up. Now I will say, I do not actually know if all Chinese men follow the stereotype that my wife has shown me. But from what I have witnessed in Chinese pop culture, China prefers their men to look like women, and their women to look like skeletons. So many Chinese people seem to hate the idea of a fit, muscular man. When Justin fucking Bieber is too big, and stronger than the Chinese "ideal", there is a fucking problem.
(I mean, yes Bieber has been training. That said, he is no Dwayne Johnson.)
One of my wife's friends had a boyfriend that was so small, he accidentally mistook her pants for his. Not only that, but her pants were loose on him. Meanwhile, I have to buy pants one size too large, simply to get my ass and quads to keep from busting a fucking seem. I honestly cannot fathom a culture where weakness is sought after. I can understand the idea of not pursuing strength. That's fair. In this day and age, people do not need to be strong to survive/provide. That said, who actively tries to get weaker? I mean shit. If that's the ideal, all they have to do is go to Hebei province and take a deep breath. I'm sure the pollution would be enough to give people some cancer or one of the hepatitis letters.
(That's a real photo of people training Tai-Chi in Hebei. The fog is pollution. See? Hep. All the hep.)
Moral of the Story: I don't believe in the concept of "left-over" women, I will now refer to shitty men as "microwave" men or Hot Pockets, and I don't think strength should ever be considered a weakness.
