大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【相亲】的话题。
在中国，读书的时候父母会反对我们早恋，所以学生时代没有谈恋爱的人很多。等到我们毕业工作，父母就开始催婚。但是因为交际圈很窄，脱单很困难，所以很多人在找对象的时候，可能会选择相亲这种方式。通过相亲可以了解对方的职业，家庭情况等，判断自己是否与对方合适。
最常见的相亲是亲戚朋友介绍，或者同事介绍。见面前先看下照片，了解下对方的情况。如果感兴趣就加个微信聊一聊，然后再见面。也有的是媒人安排大家一起吃个饭，先见个面互相了解一下。这种情况下在场的人很多，相亲的两个人比较不尴尬。
相亲的时候都看什么呢？在中国，谈婚论嫁的时候最讲究的是门当户对。也就是说：男女双方家庭的社会地位和经济状况相当，结婚很合适。因为讲究门当户对，在相亲市场上也就出现了很多歧视。
第一、地域歧视。本地人比非本地人好，因为本地人有相同背景、观念和生活习惯，更重要的是有户口，有房子。
第二、职业歧视。公务员稳定，即使收入不如私企，在相亲市场仍然是香饽饽。
第三、家庭歧视。是不是城市户口？父母有没有退休金？
第四、学历歧视。本科生不如硕士、硕士不如博士。不过有意思的是，女博士反而不吃香，大家会觉得太优秀了不容易找对象。
还有其他的年龄歧视、外貌歧视等等。
有的人觉得门当户对是好事，条件差不多的人才能一起生活。有的人觉得门当户对是把婚姻市场化了，变成了买卖，没有真情实感。你觉得呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
