 This Chinese lady just brought 23 of her relatives to a blind date dinner And then she tried to sue the guy when he didn't want to pick up the tab for all of it David what is going on man? This is one of the sillier pieces of news to go viral out of China long story short miss song met Mr. Leo threw a matchmaker in Jilin Jilin is in Northeast China It's don't pay and they have a dinner together She they probably agreed that she can bring a few friends or family members But she shows up with 23 and they rack up a bill of $2,800 USD That's a gigantic dinner tab in China Andrew He walks out when they try to stick them with the whole thing She calls him asked for at least half. He offers 550 she doesn't like it So she sues him and in the court of law basically they determined he was only responsible for 200 Wow Guys, so we're gonna get into the comments section and we're also gonna talk about why is this story going so viral? It's pretty silly, but please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hot-pot boys I think it's going viral for two reasons one Andrew There is sort of a man's fear versus what woman knows fear thing going on on I want to say Globally not just the Western world. Yes Marriage rates divorce rates. They're all well marriage rates are going down divorce rates are going up It seems like city boys city girls This is what like some sort of global trend of course It like has different names and details right depending on which part of the world you're in and number two I think this is just like a it's still negative, but it's a sillier piece of news to come out of China So I'm glad that it's sillier, but yeah, I guess it's still on the new greedy side like yo man This brings a new meaning to the yeah if you marry somebody you must marry their family too Yeah, but if you know about a lot of like traditional cultures are really big societies India China Andrew Sometimes you can find things, you know, we're talking about like Manchuria right now like Dombay that almost feel out of time Right and if you use a matchmaking service some people that is still commonplace for family members to show up on the first Yeah, yeah, you're looking more for marriage. This is not like casual Western city dating Yeah, I mean even sometimes I would say in America It's not the craziest thing for a girl to be like hey, I'm meeting you up for the first time Can I bring a friend? She's really cool and then like, you know us to like I've heard of that but less common in the West less common in the West But I've heard one friend coming and then obviously a more traditional societies maybe One parent or one relative comes crazy as that sounds yeah Americans believe me guys America's of the youngest country other societies They they're super old but 23 this is this is how to stay single 101 right here Yeah, let's get into the comment section somebody said I can see why she's still single imagine this guy's lifestyle If he actually married her if she's bringing 23 and expecting him to pay for all 23 off The rip you know I can't I'm not gonna lie miss dog. She doesn't look bad looking all right She looks pretty but I it's probably not worth it man already somebody's bringing this much drama into your life That is crazy. Also like what a miss communication to have yeah I mean honestly she was probably like yeah, can I bring two or three? He's like yeah two or three is fine Oh my gosh, there's 23 where you mean they what do you wait? And you're sure I just sound take a shit sound My question is how do you sit through the whole meal and just eat it and was like looking at everybody here there to be like Yeah, he wasn't nervous. Hey, are they with you? Man it looks like some people she just pulled off the street, but apparently those were her legitimate family members Hey, like we said, you know the don't be families they keep it tight somebody said I have to be honest I've seen this happen before in China and India and even in the Godfather There's a scene where Michael wants to woo this Italian girl when he gets he has to run away to Italy Apollonia and she brings her entire chaperone team with him and he's got to pay for the bill too So basically just going to show people this is an old-world tradition. Yeah when people are like looking to court for marriage Yeah, and I think especially maybe when it's like a man of a higher economic level Trying to marry a woman who it doesn't have as much money Then you kind of like show face by treating her family out right now to now now here's the logic behind it I know it sounds crazy what I'm about to say to Americans. This is sounding still crazy, right? I know I know so I think to bring the amount of family members without him knowing his wild But it is true like what if he had paid for like a big feast for the family at like the village or something Like, you know if he's trying to woo like this beautiful girl from like a smaller town and he's like, yeah You know, don't worry. I'll come by and I'll feed your whole family and you know, you're trying to show your economic health I mean, honestly, there was a lot of speculation that Mr. Liu is not as good looking as Mrs. Zhang So of course his value to her if her value is as her looks is his economic strength Listen, what he's good at. I am a pretty don't be a woman. I am a hun piao liang So you have to buy me everything Somebody said that this is a result of the offset gender ratios in China For example, they say they said considering there's four men for every woman. These outcomes are pretty predictable Obviously, I looked into it actually the gender offset is 5% which is still pretty big because genetically it should be 5050 but um, yeah I do think this creates certain things especially with the felt focus on wealth in China like you got to understand Hypergamy on the woman side and then there's like the guys using their wealth to secure a pretty, you know, good wife I don't know guys. You guys know what I mean But you know, like there's all these dynamics going on and then there's also the leftover woman dynamic where it's like women past the age of 30 Or with like professional jobs. Yeah, like they're not as wanted so I'm saying there's all these older single women or I don't want to say older but just like Professional women who are single now who are having trouble getting married And then this girl is here making it super hard for herself. I don't understand There's probably more to this story. What if she's like, yeah But I am just using it as a hard filter because the greatest life for me And probably my family will be with a guy who does not bulk at paying for 23 people Yeah, what if she's using it as a way to she's like, oh, yeah, mr. Liu. He was out of the pool Liu you did not know but I am actually celebrating Thanksgiving Western Thanksgiving today and you are going to pay for the dinner, of course, Andrew There was a lot of guy comments on next shark Basin Santa was she hot like from her pictures She does look pretty good looking and I'm not gonna lie. Those relatives look like a bunch of hillbillies and hicks Hey man, I mean what how much of a factor do you think plays in this? I mean like we said we mentioned earlier We did not get a photo of mr. Liu, but I think miss there's got to be some sort of looks difference Yeah, somebody said, uh, you know, they're just taking advantage of people financially in a passive aggressive way That is so Chinese just like taking the whole tray of crab legs at the buffet when they come out fresh This is this is the part that goes to the more global negative news coming out of China, right? Yeah, but I guess it looks bad on Chinese women more so I guess I don't know like To me this is a more silly story It's almost laughable and it is does sound like something that could come out of any country I don't think it's like so beyond like something that could happen in India or Russia You know it would have to be some sort of like country with a old-world tint to it though Yeah, I can see it happening in countries in Africa certain, you know, maybe this was a Manchurian ritual from the Qing dynasty I don't know hundred two hundred three hundred four and five hundred years ago It sounds like society was definitely more like that back then but some people and some This was not Shanghai, you know where that they may be more like Western. Yeah, maybe like soul or Tokyo Maybe there's a cultural riff like that guy's coming from Lou is coming from one city This girl's coming from one town and she's like, yeah, this is how we do things and Gee Lynn, you know, don't be is different from the rest of China a little bit Um, and let's get into our takeaways man. I think that there's a lot of class issues involved here He's probably got a lot of money So she's probably like prove it to me prove it to me that you are gonna be a good husband to deserve me miss song Um, and I feel like in China in particular. This is gonna be a sweeping statement But money is more uh more masculinity money and masculinity are mixed into the same drink Whereas in America There those are separate drinks. You know what I mean? Like if you're made of drinks in your body or little compartments Masculinity muscles money, they're all separate compartments in China. It's all like poured into one thing. Yeah. Yeah, I would say in a general statement. Yes So what do you think? I mean, does this have anything to do with the marriage rates in China? I think so Yeah, yeah, I think this is where I really take anything away from the silly story is like obviously this could happen in any country, man There's a billion people in China So there's all types of news But this one caught on to the internet because I think right now Because marriage and building families is such a big issue in China and in a lot of places across the world But I think particularly China because of the gender gap. Yeah, particularly a lot of more Countries with a little bit more late-stage capitalism or more capitalism have really really high divorce rates Like China's moving towards 50 percent. The u.s. Is already over 50 percent on divorce rate This is common. Think about it. So there's like about 30 million more men Of marriage age than women that is an issue and not not only that but a lot of men and women They want to leave china right for different opportunities to move out. Maybe they marry foreigners or whatever They want to secure foreign passports. I would say yeah, so I think It's kind of weird I think the only weird thing is is during this time when it seems like so hard to Have a child to live in the big city to get married as Chinese people then like a story like this comes out. I'm sure again, it could happen anywhere But I guess it just goes to show you guys this man versus woman thing and this whole How to marry how not to get married things going on all across the world. Yeah, this is not just a new york city Oh, it's hard to get married here issue. This is like a global thing But I think it looks different in every country because there's an ancient culture that's being layered with this modern late-stage Capitalism and then there's the intersection of those two layers and obviously america doesn't have any ancient culture to Inter interface with to be honest I mean, I think the thing about like masculinity And muscles and money all being one bucket in china I feel like for me as a guy, I'd like to see that change But it's sort of like the gun culture in america Even though it should change. I don't really have any hope for it changing You know me because culture runs deep. It's very difficult to change culture I mean, obviously not everybody in china's like this andrew But what do you think about these stories that do occasionally come out of you know faraway provinces? Sometimes outside of the big city where they almost feel like they're from 1800s or 1900s like these behaviors almost feel like america was maybe 100 200 years ago more than anything We resemble 2023. Well, you have the I think the interesting thing is like there's a lot of with social media now It's a lot easier to meet Or like through an arrangement, right? It's easier to meet like People of different economic levels. So mr. Liu is probably coming from a different economic level than miss dong And they got set up together. I don't know what the blind. I don't know what that arrange ranger did Yo that whoever the matchmaker is They lose in their job because that's a terrible matchmaker. I pay you money just to lose more money Anyway guys, let us know what you think of this comment in the comment section below There may be some more deeper details from the chinese the internet What of the match? Sorry one last thing. What are the matchmakers like saying, but mr. Liu I told you I was going to get you a date with a beautiful woman and you said it doesn't matter what it takes So I did it. What are you talking about? And mr. Useless like this is not what I wanted We got to see a picture of mr. Liu and then it might make all make sense, man Let us know what you think in the comment section below until next time we to hop out boys. We out. Peace
