 Romantic love is more difficult during times of financial stress, and economic forces can encourage singles, particularly women, to select a partner primarily on financial considerations.Some men postpone marriage until their financial position is more secure and use wealth to help attract women.One trend is towards exclusive matchmaking events for the 'rich and powerful'; for example, an annual June event in Wuhan with expensive entry-ticket prices for men (99,999 RMB) lets financially secure men choose so-called "bikini brides" based on their beauty and education, and the financial exclusivity of the event was criticized by the official news outlet "China Daily".
