捞女

/lāo nǚ/

释义 DEFINITION

捞女,字面意思是'打捞女性',实际指代那些以物质利益为核心目标来经营人际关系的女性。常见的表现形式包括:

  • 频繁出入高端社交场所'钓金龟婿'
  • 恋爱中刻意引导对方送奢侈品
  • 社交动态永远定位在豪华酒店或米其林餐厅

这个词常见于八卦论坛和婚恋话题,网友常用它吐槽'明明可以拼演技,非要来拼演技+剧本'的功利主义者。注意:使用该词容易引发性别对立争议,建议配合'酸黄瓜'(吃不到葡萄说葡萄酸)表情包使用效果更佳。

词源故事 ETYMOLOGY

这个词汇的考古现场可以追溯到1990年代的港片时代。周星驰电影《喜剧之王》里有句经典台词:'我养你啊!'没想到二十年后的'养'已经演变成了爱马仕铂金包的型号比拼。

2015年前后,上海名媛拼单事件让'捞女'完成互联网出道。网友发现有人组团拼单五星级酒店下午茶拍照,人均消费42元就能营造豪门千金人设。随后'xx元拼单法拉利拍照'的攻略贴让这个词彻底破圈。

如今'专业捞女教程'已成为灰色产业链:

  • 498元包教'豪门贵妇妆容'
  • 999元'高净值男性识别指南'
  • 终身VIP课程'如何优雅收取房产证'

但别急着judge,大数据显示:凌晨3点搜索'捞女'的用户中,27%正在翻看前任现任的社交媒体,45%的银行卡余额不足四位数。

例句:
'本以为遇到了真爱,结果人家把我当ATM,妥妥的捞女啊!'
'姐妹,这个月再钓不到游艇车主,我的拼单押金要过期了!'

synonym: Gold Digger

DEFINITION

The term 'Gold Digger' perfectly captures the essence of 捞女. It refers to women who systematically pursue romantic relationships for material gain. Classic signs include:

  • Strategically appearing at yacht parties like human metal detectors
  • Dating apps bios saying 'looking for someone adventurous (with an Amex Black Card)'
  • Instagram feeds that are basically luxury brand catalogs with face filters

While Western gold diggers might ask 'What's your sign?', Chinese 捞女 are more likely to ask 'What's your credit score?' Pro tip: Use this term with caution – you might accidentally roast your cousin's new 'startup investor' girlfriend.

ETYMOLOGY

The origin story of 捞女 (lāo nǚ) reads like a capitalist fairy tale. Emerging from Cantonese slang where '捞' means 'to fish for opportunities', it gained mainstream traction through 2010s reality shows where contestants literally brought gold digging tools to dating games.

The term went nuclear in 2020 when 'Pinduoduo Princesses' – groups of women crowdfunding luxury hotel stays for Instagram photos – were exposed. Imagine 20 strangers splitting cost for a $500 hotel suite, each getting exactly 3 minutes to pose with the champagne flute.

Modern 捞女 culture has its own ecosystem:

  • TikTok tutorials on 'accidentally' revealing Ferrari keys in Zoom backgrounds
  • WeChat courses teaching how to calculate a man's net worth from his shoe collection
  • Underground markets renting designer handbags by the hour

But before you judge, consider this: The same women getting shamed as 捞女 are often paying 80% of their income to support rural families. As one Douyin philosopher noted: 'Every gold digger carries a family mine on her back.'

Examples:
'She said she loves me for my personality...specifically my Amex Centurion personality.'
'If I don't find a yacht owner this month, my shared Birkin deposit is forfeited!'
