This echoes what's been going on in Japan since the 90's.

What we hear about men in China needing to own an apartment in order to be a well qualified potential partner seems to be an amped up version of this.

And most importantly

"These synthetic husbands were also 30% more likely to be employed than real single men and 19% more likely to have a college degree"

I really enjoyed the nomenclature of "synthetic husbands"

OK, I was wrong.

There are sex machines for both men and women: http://sexybots.com/sex-robots/

And if there were synthetic partners that were lifelike, were real companions, and had careers and incomes, why not for everyone? Maybe even for having children.
