Rather corpulent contemporaries fall in love with rather corpulent contemporaries. Academics marry academics, great people are looking for great people. Younger people tend to date younger people, Büezer and craftsmen look for a suitable partner in their milieu.

Of course, it can happen that a 25-year-old with washboard abs and impressive biceps falls head over heels in love with a 92-year-old widow who is worth millions. And, overwhelmed by the butterflies in her stomach, she leads the lady straight down the aisle.

Those are the very few marriages that last until death parts them. But those are the exceptions.

The basic rule is: like attracts like. This also applies to sports. Athletic people are attracted to athletic people. Anyone who stands on the football field every day will not find their partner in the opera house.

Because in Beijing people live in bubbles. So that there is no inflammation. And hitting on people in protective suits and FFP2 masks is relatively cumbersome.
–
PCR test instead of pregnancy test is the order of the day.

Valentine’s Day also fell victim to this motto. The British speed skater Ellia Smeding and her husband, the speed skater Cornelius Kersten, made relevant experiences in Beijing. “We had to go on a KFC date on Valentine’s Day. That’s the only thing we can do in the Olympic village,” Smeding complains.

KFC does not stand for a fancy practice. It stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken.
