There is a serious and very fucked issue in many Asian countries with viewing older women (like 25+) who are unmarried as being used up or too old. It's super weird. Anything to counteract this is good imo.
At least with youngish people I know (mid 20s to 30s) in China and Japan, this is more of a thing you hear from your parents or grand parents that you roll your eyes at and disregard.
I think these days parents are overall more worried about their children staying single forever than marrying someone who's arbitrarily "too old".
