I was reading about Chinese neocon nationalists in the New Yorker and came across this:

Parents shopping for suitable mates for their children gather in the city’s parks most weekends to scrutinize and discuss the resumes of candidates, handwritten on bits of paper and torn sheets of cardboard taped to trees, resting on benches, and leaning against the risers of stone steps. the personals (so specific that they include details like “hunts for girl 163 cm”) are written by other yearning mothers and fathers.

Talk about old school. Another reason why the Chinese singles market is wide open for more efficient matchmaking services. Just last week the total number of people online in China surpassed the US. I’m talking to several Chinese and Korean startups, lot’s of opportunities to explore. Maybe it’s time to translate the blog into Asian languages.
