Survey reveals north-south romantic divide

Single men from northern China are less inclined to be wooed by women than their counterparts from the south of the country, a survey has found.

Men from the north generally cannot accept women being more active in expressing love and starting a relationship, according to the survey.

Released to coincide with Single's Day on Wednesday and conducted by jiayuan.com, a leading Chinese dating website, the survey polled more than 85,000 single men and women throughout the country.
