Using the data from a survey conducted in Shanghai and Harbin Cities, the present article employs regressing model to identify the most important mate-selec-tion preferences. The findings show that Chinese people still value the stability and longlasting of marriage. However, since late 1980s', people began to pay more attention to socioeconomic and physical conditions. The results did not find any evidence to support the previous studies which hypothesized that people who are over marriageable age and have a lower occupational status generally gave more consideration to economic features of the potential mates and that young people paid more attention not to recent economic status but tothe potentials which could be transformed into material gains in the future. The author believes that the more modernization of our living environment, the more attention given to romantic love. Although this is a no cultural boundary trend,it does not mean that there exists a contradiction between the economic and emotional considerations when we are in the process of male-selection.
