Aussie Women Need Husbands


Husband Wanted Posted by Hello

A Chinese-Australian woman in the market for a husband decided that an advertisement in the lonely hearts column of a newspaper simply wouldn’t do. Nor would posting an item on the internet. So Helen Zou, a 40-year-old Sydney civil engineer, went public in the most dramatic form. She erected a giant billboard at a major Sydney intersection appealing for love.

In 2001, the Australian Bureau of Statistics found that 23% of Australians were single-person and that a quarter of women of child-bearing age were likely to remain childless. And the trend had continued till today.

Is it the trade-off - the price successful career women had to pay?
Or is it that women are bogged down with work and charting their career path in the twenties and thirties that only by 40s, did they realise that they then need a husband, a man, to love, and to take care of them?
Or, is it difficult to get a husband in Australia?
Good Luck Women in Australia and hope you find the Mr. (assumed) Right!!!!!
