After 500 blind dates, he is still a bachelor

A government worker in central China's Henan Province has tried more than 500 blind dates in a span of three years and is still looking for a wife.

Xu Yang, 32, shot to fame as "the most suitable government worker to marry" with thousands of Chinese netizens agreeing that he has all the elements of a perfect Chinese marriage -- a healthy appearance, stable income and adorable personality. Xu might not be the most suitable among China's 180 million bachelors but he is sure the most industrious. Since 2007, Xu has attended more than 500 matchmaking dates but all ended up fruitless, reported Henan Business Daily today.

One day, he met four girls in turn in the same cafe. His shortest date was with a girl, her face dotted with acnes. Xu said hi to her and turned around.

Denying that he was picky, Xu said he had three basic criteria for a candidate: having a good career, willing to take care of him, and having a fitting look.

Xu said he has encountered only five women who meet his requirements for a wife.
