Nessquick is right. Either the woman or man is infertile, and they don't have children, or the children are already grown up and have left the home, so the parents can become depressed.

 

However, in the context of the dating website, it probably means either 1) they do NOT want children, or 2) they have adult children who have already left the home, so they're on their own.

So you must really want out of China if you are looking at guys in their 50s and 60s. On a dating website it would only mean that their children are adults and not living at home.

In the western understanding the expression 'empty nest' refers to a house/home where the children have grown up and are living away from home. The parents then are called 'empty nesters'.

Empty nest means that their credit is no good with me.  Cash on the barrel, only.

 

Anything that is empty makes me cringe, particularly wallets and men's brains.

Victoria you scare me by hunting foreigners to the end of the earth. Maybe date a Japanese so you can get some of your aggression off or something. Between hostels,burger king, using a job to get them, or dating sites. Chill out. Besides we foreigners will be purged from china sooner or later

Victoria have you never thought about using a search engine. This is a new invention so I am not surprised that you do not seem to know what it is for. You will find it your web browser on your computer. Now go away and stop posting your stupid infantile questions on here, and to save you time I will call myself stupid as I already know you will not like this answer. Did none of your clever, wise friends not know the answer, or are they only in your imagination too.

It means he's old.  But don't reject him on this basis alone. An older man will more likely have the patience to deal with your crap. If it hasn't become obvious to you now, I will tell you plainly that you will not find a suitable foreign bf until you become more mature.  The only guys who will make a lasting relationship with you are unsuitable ones.  Any man who understands successful relationships will not view you seriously.  They will just want a short fling, casual sex or something even worse.  If you really want a foreign guy, stop looking now and work on your own personality!

On the other hand, if all you want is something casual,  just go out and choose one.  Guys are basically dogs.  They will be up for a quick romp.

Well, I would just like to mosey on over and give you a big kiss for being so on the mark.

 

Lots of the best,

Victoria I feel like you are a robot. Is it true? To be honest I want to see you in public so I can laugh at you. Anyone else think Victoria is a phishing machine? Built by an wumao coalition or something?
