February 21, 2008, 08:12 AMif you say 黄金单身汉，chinese could understand that however the more slang expression is "钻石王老五", that words just for older single man. for example, normally a boy should get married before 28years old. if a guy who haven't get married till 28years old, especially the guy is older than 30 years old, we call this kind of cowboy "钻石王老五"
