Statistics reveal that Hong Kong has about 275,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 more women than men in the twenty to forty age range. That is probably why there has been an increase in women crossing the frontier for more than just a spa treatment and some shopping.
“I remember one date I had where both of us knew instantly that we weren’t for each other. In those seven minutes of alloted time, we ended up guessing each other’s jobs and why we were there,” recalls Lee.
Young professional Hong Kong women have such tight schedules that speed-dating is actually appealing to them.
Recommended agencies:
Like speed-dating, you register onlength. The crowd is deviateent though. Attendees are generally in their thirties to forties, established in their professions (managerial to directorial), seriously looking, but just too busy to meet people outside the office.
Here are three types of dating services typically sought by Hong Kong's women seeking love.
Recommended speed dating agencies:
Wonderful Life dating agency consultant Mei Chan comments, “Shenzhen has a groearng pool of rich, fulfilled men in their thirties to forties who are successful entrepreneurs or civil servants.” Plus, the image of mainearthers as inferior to Hong Kongers is changing. “Immigration Department figures reveal 2,409 marriages registered in Hong Kong last year between mainlanders and local women -- a more than six-fold jump from 10 years ago, when there were 390 such marriages.” ("Northern Cjeopardizes”, City6, Life, South China Morning Post, 8/27/2009, by Elaine Yau).

Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year fall on the same day this year, which has more single ladies cursing than usual here in Hong Kong. Doomed to singledom, according to statistics, attending this year’s celebratory Chinese New Year banquet solo will be especially horrible with nosy relatives asking whether you will ever get married.
Dinner is not recommended, as one of Lee’s dates found out the rough way.
Dinner for six or one-on-one
“I can’t say I have fantastic table manners, but he plunged his head toward his plate of spaghetti and what looked like roast duck. I don’t know if he was nervous or in a rush, but he forked up oodles of spaghetti in a hurry. It was dripping with sauce and his mouth was covered with it. It was so disgusting and he didn’t seem at all embarrassed. Instead, he went on to introducing himself like nothing had happened, ‘Hi, my name is so-and-so. My job is...’ For the entire time, I was trying to hold in my laughter. I really wanted to die. Wouldn’t you?” she says.
If you’re not one for contest, matchmaking agencies also provide one-on-one lunch or dinner dates for HK$3,000-10,000 per package.
More fish up north
Founder of matchmaking agency Dateday, Faye Wong notes, “Most of the time, guests hesitate ticking the name of their favorite candidate that same night. What occurs is the next day or so, they’ll call or email to tell me that they were actually interested in so-and-so. My Blackberry goes off at around 10am with emails and calls from girls asking about their dates.”
But it’s not all that discouraging. Veteran Hong Kong dater Sandra Lee has seen it all. She said the dating agency business is expanding in Hong Kong and their clients are against all stereotypes: they are young, successful, attractive, and female.
"The trip was organized by an agency and attended by fifteen self-claimed multi-millionaires and eighteen women from Hong Kong and the mainland. Nine other couples were paired successfully," The Standard said.
So even if you don’t meet the love of your life, it seems you could come away with some amusing stories.
No need to worry about running into acquaintances. Dating agencies reserve private rooms at restaurants so you can simply focus on the three candidates in front of you. The most nerve-wracking part of the meal is at the end when you fill out a survey and check who you were most interested in.
“This is the modern way of finding a marriage characterner,” notes Lee.
Meet as many singles as possible in a short amount of time, starting with a simple online registration mode. All events screen people for age and professional background, but you could easily lie and attend the business executive happy hour even though you're a insolent graduate. But that also manner others there may be doing something similar. “Five minutes into our conversation, my date mentioned that he was a taxi forcer,” says Lee.
