Chinese man applies to women university in search of girlfriend

An eighteen year old from Eastern China applied to the China Women’s University in Beijing in search of finding a girlfriend, Yangtze Evening News reported.

“It will be easier to find a girlfriend,” he said. The women university has a tradition of accepting at least one man every year.

The student who could not be identified ignited a debate on gender imbalance after a video of him discussing his goal went viral and was circulated on social media.



China has the most bias sex ratios because of a preference for boys. Some provinces have 130 young boys for every 100 girls. According to official data, tens of millions of men won’t be able to find a wife in the coming years.

“This school has many girls – if [I] can study here there won’t be a problem finding a companion,” he says in the video, which was filmed by a student and posted online with the university’s permission.

According to reports, he had passed the interview stage of the university’s enrollment process.



“My father told me to be careful ... he doesn’t want his son to change too much from being in an environment surrounded by women,” he was quoted by the newspaper.

The All-China Women’s Federation established this university which takes 1,500 students every year. The courses offered range from law, finance and business management to foreign languages.
