Actually, Shanghainese women are famous for being rather demanding (hen-picking their girly husbands) and both cities attract a fair share of gold-digging migrant worker women. Beijing girls can be a bit weird in my opinion, some are very traditional and stubborn, yet some are from backgrounds too wealthy for their welfare to ever be a worry and they are far more open minded.

The North also has its fair share of uneducated farmer women and in the Dongbei regions, women are often held back by chauvinistic, traditional, old beliefs.
