Well this is one of the more unusual reports from China recently, and it's sure bound to grab headlines. Guys who are deprived of love and intimacy, read on brother. China has implemented its one child policy to control their growing population that may have created a massive gender imbalance with millions more men than women in the country, but one city is bucking the trend of the nation with so many women living there that most men have two or three girlfriends. Yes you read it right. For some it may be classed as "three-timing", but in one Chinese city having three girlfriends is apparently seen as the norm.
The bizarre twist in the Chinese shortage of women story centres around the populous city of Dongguan, in south China’s Guangdong Province, known for producing popular electronics such as iPhones and iPads. But local manufacturers running assembly plants prefer not to use men as they find them unreliable and instead offer work mainly to women. Local factories in Dongguan prefer to hire women to run the assembly plants. This means the city has more women than men, with the men taking casual work, leaving them with plenty of time; at least to find themselves more than one girlfriend. Some admit they have two or three permanent girlfriends at the same time. One man told Chinese TV: "It is a lot easier here to find a girlfriend than a job." The rather weird gender ratio of women to men has recently led to Dongguan being branded as the "capital of sex" with many women still willingly and knowingly involve themselves in relationships with men who are already taken.

While in other countries it's very hard to find one girlfriend at all, it seems China is begging to differ. We expect to see a spike in tourism soon in Dongguan.
