According to Statistics Canada, the male-to-female ratio in the GTA region for ages 25-34 is 98:100. In Toronto, males account for 52%, while females make up 48%. Many people complain that dating in Toronto is like ordering coffee blindfolded at a city café—get it right and you'll feel great; get it wrong and it's all tasteless.
The truth is:
The gender ratio imbalance: The Chinese community in Toronto is especially "female scarce and male abundant," with high-quality women often not meeting the right person.
Social circles are rigidified: Working, eating, binge-watching series... apart from dining out or staying home on weekends, making new friends is as difficult as climbing a mountain!
Introductions through friends are awkward: Friends' introductions are always just slightly off, and you don't want to settle, so one year drags into another...
After living in Toronto for a while, you realize:
"High-quality men do exist, but they're like parking spaces in DT—they disappear quickly."
In Canada, having a car (possibly leased) and a house (with a mortgage that may be higher than rent) makes someone an ideal man. According to interviews conducted by local matchmaking consultant Wei Bai with over 100 cases, in Canada, when you encounter these six types of reliable men, you must hold onto them tightly:
1. Men who shovel snow and trim the lawn ❄
Winter assessment criteria: Those who can get up at 6 am to shovel their own driveway and even help neighbors clear snow.
Summer assessment criteria: Willing to take care of the grass, keeping the front yard neat and tidy.
Hidden attributes: Strong sense of responsibility + physically fit + likes visually appealing environments.
2. Men who understand Costco's unspoken rules
Doesn't block fellow shoppers, doesn't mind waiting patiently, and can eat $1.5 hot dogs without complaint.
Hidden attributes: Understands women, patient, aware that although Costco isn't cheaper than Yorkdale, it offers value for money.
3. Men who can assemble IKEA furniture
Can assemble a KALLAX bookshelf without looking at the instructions.
Hidden attributes: Logical, strong hands-on ability (tested by Swedish design).
4. Life-work balance type
If he can still find time to go shopping or watch movies with you despite his busy schedule, it means you're on his mind. He won't only focus on work or just play video games.
Hidden attributes: Adapts well to Canadian lifestyle rhythms.
5. Not prone to road rage type
Won't curse or cold war over minor incidents on the road.
Hidden attributes: Good temper, emotionally stable.
6. Likes traveling
Low-end version: Takes you to Bluffer's Park, Niagara Falls, or finds less crowded routes for cherry blossoms and autumn leaves.
High-end version: Can take you camping in Banff, see the aurora borealis, or go on European trips.
Hidden attributes: Knows how to enjoy life, has interests, doesn't want you to crowd places.
Not finding the right person isn't because you're not excellent—it's because your circle is too small.
