简单方便女

    jiǎndān fāngbiàn nǚ

    Meaning: "简单" means "simple," "方便" means "convenient," and "女" is a "female." Also called "三不女" ("three-nos girl"), a "simple convenient girl" does not put delicate makeup on her face each morning. Unlike a gold-digger, she can live a simple life on her own, shopping on the main street. She may have had a boyfriend before, but she has not been through many relationships. Such a girl often comes from a middle-class family in a small town. She will never spend money like water, but she is definitely not a miser. In today's China, such a girl can be an ideal candidate for wife.

    Example:

    B: 我喜欢简单方便女。

    Wǒ xǐhuan jiǎndān fāngbiàn nǚ。

    I like a "simple convenient girl."

    A: 听起来好像说什么廉价商品。

    It sounds like you are talking about some cheap merchandise.

    B: 这可是个褒奖的词，是说这样的女孩朴素自然，性格温和，独立自主有修养。
