Chapter 237: Chapter 235: The Woman Who Hates Matchmakers the Most

[Just try it, and then you get scammed.]

[That’s exactly how scammers in a pig-butchering scam talk you into it.]

[How many chances for trial and error do you get in life? Every time you try and fail, you lose one of your options.]

[That definitely sounds like something a girl with that kind of nasally voice would say.]

"Trying has its costs."

"You must have seen couples who were a bad match to begin with, dated for a very long time, and ended up not getting married, completely wasting their youth."

"We’ve seen over a dozen women on our stream alone who dated their ex-boyfriends for years, even lived with them for years, only to break up because they couldn’t agree on the betrothal gift or something similar, and now they’re back on the blind date market around the age of 30."

"And there have been seven or eight guys in the same situation."

"They did exactly what you said. They ’gave it a try.’"

"The result? It was ’give it a try and die.’"

Zhang Zhe spread his hands, his tone tinged with helplessness. A good number of older women with decent prospects ended up in this situation, and the number of men in the same boat wasn’t small either.

Perhaps his "marriage positioning" couldn’t necessarily help them. After all, when love hormones are flowing, couples don’t listen to outside advice, believing that true love can conquer all.

But at the very least, it could help them avoid a few detours when they started considering marriage.

"That’s exactly the kind of situation I’m talking about." The woman on the call suddenly raised her voice, sounding very confident.

"I don’t think there’s anything wrong with those women."

"Maybe she started dating someone who made her heart flutter in her early twenties, and they didn’t get married in the end, wasting seven or eight years of her youth."

"But I think ’wasting’ her youth like that is much, much better than wasting it on the kind of men you help them find through your positioning—men who don’t excite them at all, from their looks to their personality."

"Think about it. If you’re with someone who makes your heart race, maybe you’ll be happy for seven or eight years and only be unhappy when you break up."

"But if you’re with someone who doesn’t excite you, you might be unhappy the entire time. You’d have to put up with him for seven or eight years just because his family is well-off, he has money, or his parents have good connections."

"That’s what really ruins your life."

[Why do I feel like she kind of has a point?]

[This is a hedonist mindset. Get your fun in while you’re young, and who cares how much you suffer later.]

[Now everyone knows what kind of older ’leftover women’ you meet on the blind date scene.]

[Sure, have your eight years of fun, but don’t you dare go looking for some honest guy to pick up the pieces.]

[Her logic is the same as those girls who sell themselves for money.]

"I mean, does youth have to be wasted at all?"

Zhang Zhe couldn’t help but laugh.

"Why do you assume that marrying a rich man, or a guy from a similar family background, will automatically lead to an unhappy life?"

"If that’s the case, isn’t it possible you’re just looking for the wrong kind of person?"

"No, no, no. This is the feeling I get from watching your streams." The woman on the call gave an example. "Take that female streamer from earlier. She wanted to find a handsome guy who had a little bit of money."

"But you insisted that a handsome guy like that wouldn’t marry her because of her family background, telling her to compromise and accept a chubby guy."

"If she actually accepted him, sure, she could get married, but she definitely wouldn’t be as happy as she would with a handsome guy."

"Right?"

"Right about what? The way you talk, it’s like a person can have fun for a few years when they’re young and then just throw the rest of their life away." Zhang Zhe frowned.

He understood her line of thinking. Simply put, she was telling all the ’sisters’ out there not to settle.

They had to find someone who made their heart race.

Even if it didn’t end in marriage, as long as there was that flutter of excitement, it was good, it was happiness.

Based on Zhang Zhe’s years of experience with people, he figured a person like this had, in all likelihood, never been in a real relationship.

’In her eyes, being with someone who makes your heart flutter must mean sweet, blissful love every single moment, with suffering only at the very end when they break up.’

’But anyone who’s actually been in a relationship knows that love is a mixed bag—sweet, bitter, sour, and spicy.’

’The pain of a breakup isn’t as trivial as she makes it sound, either. It’s not something you just suffer through for a moment and get over. In fact, many people are in so much pain they can never move on.’

’They toss and turn for years, unable to let go.’

’Some people never manage to recover from a failed relationship in their entire lives.’

But Zhang Zhe wasn’t going to debate this point with her. Analyzing the bitter and the sweet of love with a woman who had never been in a relationship? Wasn’t that like talking to a brick wall?

"Let me make one thing clear: I don’t tell any woman to compromise. I always emphasize value matching. The reason I suggested that female streamer find a chubby guy from a good family is because they are a match for each other in the marriage market."

"’Compromise’ is just a subjective concept from one side’s perspective. You might feel like you’re compromising, but have you ever considered the possibility that this is all you deserve?"

"It’s like you only have five bucks in your pocket. You say you’ll ’compromise’ and just have a bowl of instant noodles. Sure, you’d love to eat a steak dinner, but you need to have the capital for that."

[Brother Zhang, my superman!]

[Yeah, that’s right. I don’t get why these older ’leftover women’ are always talking about compromising with life. Compromise my ass!]

[Blind dating is all about value matching. If you can’t accept the matchmaking system, go play a custom game or fight against bots.]

[Anyone who talks about ’compromising’ just lacks self-awareness.]

"I don’t understand this ’value matching’ you’re talking about, host."

"But I’ve carefully observed my friends, mainly the men and women who are married, and I’ve noticed a few patterns."

"The kind of man who can make a woman happy—and my definition of happy is that she doesn’t privately complain to me about her husband and is clearly just as happy after marriage as she was before—"

"—a man like that is always well-rounded, both inside and out. He’s handsome on the outside and has substance on the inside."

"I think women don’t need ’positioning.’ They just need to find a guy like that."

"Yes, you’re right." Zhang Zhe nodded, trying to hold back his laughter. "You can certainly look for a guy like that. The problem is, will he even look at you?"

At first, Zhang Zhe thought this woman was just here to pick a fight, and he was a little annoyed.

But after hearing her conclusion, he understood.

She claimed to have observed many couples, and her final conclusion was:

For a woman to be happy, she needs to find a good man.

This conclusion was so profound that even the harshest of the bullet comments couldn’t refute it.

It couldn’t be helped. Who would argue with a fool?

"Those well-rounded men you’re talking about, they’re not going to be interested in just any woman, are they?" Zhang Zhe asked, suppressing a laugh.

"I admit that. If a girl is empty-headed or not good-looking, she certainly doesn’t deserve such an outstanding man."

"But that’s not the point I’m trying to make."

"What I’m trying to say is, host, your ’marriage positioning’ is useless, because the kind of man who can make a woman happy after marriage would never enter the blind date market in the first place."

"If my sisters want to find a good man, they shouldn’t be going on blind dates."

[What is she even trying to say?]

[It’s simple. She’s telling everyone not to go on blind dates. I feel like she has a personal grudge against Brother Zhang.]

[So what are you supposed to do if you don’t go on blind dates? Sit at home and make a wish?]

[The blind date market is for normal people. The guys she’s talking about are top-tier men, who are a tiny minority to begin with.]

"So if a woman doesn’t go on blind dates, how is she supposed to meet a high-quality man?"

Zhang Zhe was curious how this woman was going to justify her argument.

"After you graduate, whether it’s an introduction from your parents, friends, or a matchmaking agency, it’s all essentially a form of blind dating. The only difference is the connection."

"If you avoid blind dates entirely, how do you find someone? Online dating?"

"Online dating is even more unreliable," the woman said nonchalantly. "It’s easy to find this kind of good man. You just go out on the street and look."

"For example, you could go to the Four Seasons Hotel, see a guy who looks pretty good, and just go ask for his contact information. Get to know him a bit, and if he has a good personality too, you can take things from there."

"That’s how good men are supposed to be. They appear randomly somewhere. In any case, you’ll definitely never meet them in the blind date market."

"I see." Zhang Zhe nodded and asked, "So, are you playing Palworld or Pokémon?"
