Many Asian women remain single well into their 30s. While this may seem unusual in western cultures, Asian women often lose their value as women in Asian cultures are generally seen as lower status. The soft, elegant nature of Asian women for mariage has earned them a place in the hearts of foreign men. Most of these women have achieved financial independence outside of marriage and are often career driven. Their parents are traditionally conservative and don't approve of relationships that aren't rooted in traditional family values.
