This is FASCINATING! I hadn't heard of this holiday and the fact that it's causing that much spending is wild. I'm not surprised it originated in China given the continuous sex bias. It's amazing to see the continuous fallout of the one child policy and just how dramatically it impacts every aspect of society.
I'm so incredibly curious about Chinese demography and what the upcoming decades will look like. They're about to have an aging-heavy population, with much leaner young generations to care for those aging individuals.
From an ecological perspective, this will cause such interesting trends in resource availability and economics generally.
I love how Retail Therapy references these larger social issues/topics of conversation from a new angle!
As a single person, I love this idea, and I have been unknowingly engaging in it throughout the year lol. (I also love that matchstick graphic.) Have a great road trip!

Oh!! Points Allison. I didn’t go deeper into thinking about the why people are single. Since I always was. Thanks for
Mentioning. And I agree - the things we don’t hear about. Sigh

Yeah! I will own the fact I have also engaged in this behavior as a non single person. And love it to!
