7,000 gold-digging Chinese women apply for a matchmaking cruise
The JiaYuan matchmaking service in China is hosting a modern-day Cinderella ball. And friends, it's a juicy one.Basically, they're taking applications to fill 80 spaces: 40 men and 40 women. The men must be worth over $7 million, and the women, well ... "they will be stringently screened for their looks, physique and intellect, with marriage counselors on hand to judge whether they are 'kind, gentle and tasteful,'" organizer Cheng Yongsheng told the Xinhua news agency, according to Reuters.
Apparently, after last year's event (which includes a banquet, a ball, a five-star hotel and a cruise, all over the course of just two days), ten couples began dating and one couple has even gotten married. It's like a reality show without the cameras.
Over 7,000 women in China have reportedly applied. Seven thousand! If you're "kind, gentle and tasteful," maybe you should, too. But you're going to have to speak Chinese to navigate the website, and you're also going to have to admit to yourself that you're a gold-digger.

| Yes, but not a cruise for rich men and gold-digging women like this. | |
| No. |

Matchmaking cruise!!!! Is that reliable. How can one depend on the cruise for the match. This sounds horrible. But we cannot help it. These chinese women do what they like.
