Billionaire Seeks Virgin Bride

Okay, I get the whole online dating thing. I get the whole advertising for a mate in the newspaper thing. But, if you advertise that you're a billionaire seeking a 'virgin', what do you think the chances are that the golddigger that responds will be, you know, a virgin? And, as the old line goes, "Darling, we've already established what you are. Now we're just discussing price."

Via Simon's World, an oddly candid story out of China's official English mouthpiece:

It all began with an advertiser and a lawyer, sitting with a friend who had made his fortune in auto parts and was distraught over his recent divorce and unable to find a suitable new bride. Place an ad, said the ad man, half in jest, but the lawyer took him seriously and put an announcement in a newspaper about a billionaire seeking a virgin bride....

That first virgin bride ad campaign, which occurred two years ago, has given rise to a mini-industry: Hundreds of supposedly super-rich lonely-hearts and hordes of young women, often professing to be virgins and hoping to meet well-heeled men.

1 The next thing I know you will be telling me the guy is marrying a nine-year old. Well, it was done one time, and look how that turned out!

2 Why would a billionaire want to marry at all?

3 And if you're going to spend that much money on a chick, wouldn't you want her to have some, er, 'experience'? Just sayin...

4 It would be nice to see the ad "Billionaire bride seeks virgin."

5 Or the TV show. I'll bet some television producer will be after the guy before long. I can see it now, "The Billionaire Bride". But who would be the star, that is the billion dollar question?

6 I'm not that type of guy (not that there's anything wrong with that) but did he specifically ask for a female? I mean, that's an awful lot of money and everyone has their price. A billion dollars can change a lot of preferences.

Also just sayin ...

7 I'd rather rent Lisa Sparxxx from time to time than marry a virgin.

8 Couldn't he just buy all the Chinese women? I mean 2 bucks a piece (1/2 a billion women).

2 bucks goes a long way in China!
