Shop for Mr. Right on 51taonan.com!
April 2nd, 2010 - 5:17 pm ICT by ANINew Delhi, Apr 2 (ANI): Had enough of men taking the lead in matters of heart, well its time for you to turn the tables-just log on to a new networking website that is running the men-selling business and becoming popular among girls born after 1980s.
51taonan.com (literally means I want a Mr. Right) flagging its slogan ‘We buy romance not men’ is thought to be a feminism-oriented website.
The website has been designed like an online shopping bazaar, naming women as buyer or seller and men as items.
Women play a dominant role when picking an item-they click them into shopping trolleys, put them on sale or even offer them to others if not satisfied.
Most buyers/sellers say that they are addicted to the feel of being overcritical to their “products” and usually have more than one article at hand, reports the China Daily.
According to Xia Xueluan, sociologist from Peking University, unlike their parents, who often had marriages arranged by their parents, the “after 80s” generation has got used to online dating which has bloomed in recent years, and has enjoyed more freedom in choosing whom to love and whom to marry.
“But this generation has also found itself plagued by unstable relationships that many times end in break ups,” said Xia.
Xia warned people not to take the site as a matchmaker seriously, but as entertainment. (ANI)
