Most of us stand on your side or not care. For me, I've never once upvoted or downvoted anyone. For starters, I've yet to see the buttons. Perhaps my add-ons are blocking those features.
Fyi, it's pretty easy to use VPN and create multiple accounts with disposable emails, which many of us suspect a certain member is engaged in. But we won't call out who because it's childish. One can easily create 10 accounts, but why bother with such triviality and time-wasting.
In short @alien, don't feel like the rest of us disagree with you. Stay cool.
You wouldn't need a few years to navigate popular matchmaking websites like Jiayuan.com, which is more suitable for marriages than ONS like other apps. In fact, you wouldn't even need a week.
Since you're learning Chinese, this is a great opportunity to learn functional written Chinese. The common terms cross-over with many websites across the internet; words like "登记“ (sign-in) or "注册" (registration), "邮件" (email), "年纪" (age), stuff like that. Get your Chinese friends to help you with the signup process which could be fun as well. Think of it as a great learning material. One stone two birds Plenty of useful browser extensions/add-ons that help you translate and pronounce.
When you upload your picture and fill in your bio. It's best to introduce yourself in English. That way, you'll get English language responders. Of course, you can easily gauge their English proficiency by their responses. Their profile and life pictures will showcase their ethnicity per your preferences.
Since you're a woman, you'll receive hundreds of replies a day. That's assuming you don't upload a picture of an old witch. But if you look like one, some ogres out there may want you to cast a spell on them. Anyways, you won't have to pay. Extra features on Jiayuan that connect members are usually enabled and paid for by the men. The vast breadth of choices, as filtered by your preference settings, optimizes your probabilities and saves time.
Chinese guys from other cities would even fly to meet you if there's a genuine spark. That's well known. But that wouldn't be necessary as tens of thousands of bachelor men are available in Kunming alone on Jiayuan. Wechat exchanges and meetups ensue. Simple.
Lots of couples meet one another online nowadays in our smartphone era. Not stigmatized like before. Many end up getting married and starting families. This is also well known in the grapevine.
"I'm especially interested in fabric items (e.g., shawls, scarves) along the lines of the colorful clothing worn by women from Yunnan's ethnic minorities."
Hence the importance of reading in full context ;)
Linked from Best of Kunming Awards 2018, this post is in need of an update. The convenience of KRT XiShan Park Station at end of Line 3 with the blossoming of traditional Yunnan eateries along the mouth of the entrance.
Reading and reading... waiting for the Stephen-King-esque horror to unfold. Thanks Pat for click-baiting your followers. No entrails spillin' out this time. lol
For regular seagull feeders, bring your empty bags to 100 meters up South Gate of Green Lake to fill up on free gull food pellets (鸥粮) provided by the city government. Monday - Friday around 9am. The avian "man-eaters" will be waiting.
A bit of devil advocacy in the second half of my post.
Firstly, @mike's geological history is fascinating. It explains the eastward bending of the river system.
Yunnan only receives the tributaries, while the actual Yangtze River cuts through our northern provincial neighbors like Sichuan (e.g. Jiuzhaigou National Park) and snaking through Chongqing's central district.
The breadth of Yangtze is remarkable. Flowing down from Tanggula Mountain of Tibet at peak elevation of over 5,000 meters. This river not only has erected cities & civilizations like the flow of collective "tired and poor" hands of ruralites... but cultivated the ecology for forests and wild life prior to the dawn of humans.

That said, it's promising that China is reducing coal-fired power plants with renewable hydropower energy in an effort to curb climate change. Yet when hydropower plants are excessively built to overcapacity for profit-driven energy exports at the expense of local ecology, the amount of oversight from Beijing comes to question.
Below is a simple chart showing "Share of global hydropower capacity, by country:"
Yes, China leads in hydropower capacity by a huge margin. A surplus over consumption for the time being. However, the bigger picture of greater precedence over peafowls is untold by above piece.
Neighboring nations facing power outages like Pakistan, Laos, Myanmar, and even Russia are in need of electricity imports from China.
China's State Grid adopts the UHV (ultra high-voltage) cable technology to transfer said electricity to energy deprived regions in not only Asia, but to Africa, and as far as Germany.
The State Grid's long-game is to deploy world's first "global electricity grid" standard. Potentially expanding regional power grids of clean energy to more remote corners, such as in South America and Africa. In an effort of consolidation, China has already invested heavily in numerous power utilities overseas. From Portugal to the Philippines.
This grand ambition is not only a win-win in tackling global warming while vying for industry dominance as offshore hydroelectric projects are built by the Chinese. But expanding access of clean energy to remote regions lacking in infrastructures also serves a global humanitarian purpose: the betterment of societies and lives.
The balancing acts between global warming & local environmental protection, and between profit and diplomacy. Unfortunately, peafowls won't have a say in all of this.
Not sure if Germany or UK subsidiaries of Airbus would embrace the idea their proprietary know-hows could potentially be reversed engineered by China's ambitious homegrown COMAC.

NGO sues Yunnan dam developer over environmental degradation
发布者What's your interpretation of progress & development?
66 million 农民 Chinese were lifted out of poverty within the last five years. 500 million within the last three decades.
Some would argue that is progress. The benefits of development.
Granted President Xi would be the first to admit mission is far from accomplished.
