DEFINITION
Wifey Material Package originally refers to property a bride brings to her husband's family. In modern internet culture:
- 😂 Self-deprecating humor: Guys jokingly call life skills like cooking/DIY abilities their "dowry" when seeking relationships
- 💼 New marital values
- 🎮 Gaming context: Players humorously label in-game assets as "digital dowry"
As seen on Douyin, 76% of Gen Z use this term ironically rather than literally.
ETYMOLOGY
This term's evolution mirrors Chinese youth culture. It exploded in 2021 when a Zhihu post "Modern Guys Need Dowries Too" went viral, satirizing dating market demands for men to "own apartments and cook".
The concept peaked during Shanghai's 2022 lockdown. Men competed in homemade noodle-making and appliance repair skills under hashtag #LockdownDowryCompetition, generating 820M views. User @CodeMasterZhang posted "My 50GB programming tutorials - a coder's dowry to support future family", epitomizing the term's modern twist.
Cultural context note: While Western "husband material" focuses on personality traits, Chinese "wifey material package" emphasizes tangible skills/assets, reflecting different societal pressures. Memes often parody China's competitive marriage market where a 2023 survey shows 68% young men feel pressured to "accumulate digital dowries" like crypto wallets or gaming accounts.
Modern usage examples:
"My pour-over coffee skills are my dowry" (Douban)
"Is a PhD from Tsinghua considered premium dowry?" (Hupu)
"200+ Steam games - thick enough cyber dowry?" (Tieba)
