Features: It can be believed that the female image favored by the fifth-generation youth will not be far off. That is to say, as long as a girl is "talented, graceful, calm, yet deep and considerate," she is a new type of woman that will never go out of style. Indeed, talent and beauty are mostly innate elements that cannot be achieved through effort. However, emotions can be nurtured and grown richly with careful effort. Even if talent, beauty, and emotions cannot all be possessed, one should cherish and cultivate two or one of them and make them one's own.
At one New Year's Eve banquet, about a dozen single young teachers and graduate students sat together and drank. Unconsciously, the topic of the conversation shifted to the types of women they liked.
"I like female college students who look exceptionally beautiful and gentle when silhouetted against the summer sunset in white dresses."
"I think girls who appear calm and have their own hobbies are more attractive to me."
"A simple, wise, and understanding woman who can take care of me after marriage and also give me some freedom would be an ideal wife."
"I admire women who are physically fit but feel like they belong to the conservative 1960s."
"It doesn't matter if I'm average-looking, as long as I'm cheerful and charming, I'll like her."
