A South China Morning Post journalist has shared personal reflections on her experiences within dating markets, beginning with a sabbatical in China. While in China, she visited the Shanghai marriage market. During her time there, she reported feeling assessed by parents who deemed her 'too old and overqualified' for their offspring.
Following this experience, the journalist returned to her permanent residence in London. She then re-engaged with British dating applications.
