WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Being five years older shouldn't be a dealbreaker, right? Please consider it.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Jiedilian (Older Woman, Younger Man Romance)

Traditional Chinese matchmaking often favors the man being older; marriages where the woman is significantly older ('姐弟恋') often face traditional skepticism, especially in blind-dating corners (相亲角).
