A Short Translation
Men have love, but women don’t. Why? Because men treat people kindly because they love them. They love people first before they treat others well. But for women, no matter how well you treat them, they do not necessarily have an affection for you. Because women value money instead of affection, and that’s totally opposite to men. Am I right?
It’s translated from a short Chinese paragraph stated by a woman on Chinese tiktok.
A Short Translation
Men have love, but women don’t.
“Have love” is such a vague phrase that I would hesitate to use it. It could mean “feel love,” “show love,” “love others,” “experience love” or even “have sexual intercourse.”
If the Chinese phrase is “男人有爱” men translate it as “men love”: Men love but women don’t.
Why?
Because men treat people kindly because they love them.
It’s OK to begin a sentence with “because” when it comes right after the question “why?” And I don’t have any problem using “because” twice in this sentence. If we could use character formatting in our corrections, I would put the second “because” in italics for emphasis.
They love people first before they treat othersm well.
Using “others” makes it sound like the “people” they love are not the “others” (other people) that they treat well.
But for women, no matter how well you treat them, they do not necessarily have an affection for you.
B(This is because) women value money instead of affection, [and that’s | which is] totally opposite to men.
I would omit “because,” but if you want to keep it, you could either merge this sentence with the previous sentence, or add “this is” before “because.”
Am I right?

Since you haven’t provided the original Chinese text, I am unable to comment on the accuracy of your translation. Some of your phrases (and my corrections) might be grammatically correct in English but mean something very different from the Chinese original.

Interesting, I'm not sure if these are your ideas or the ideas of someone else that you're translating, but I would be careful before making overgeneralizations of both men and women.

It’s just a translation, and the woman who stated it on Douyin may not be serious. You know, many Tiktokers try to get people’s attention by saying some unique ideas they think. Thank you for your corrections.
