Man advertises for girlfriend

A young man has set up a stall to "hire" a girlfriend on the campus of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, Hubei province on Sunday.

He dressed in a shirt and suit and stood next to his advertisement for a girlfriend. On the ad, the job title was "my girlfriend" and the job had a "one month probation".

It also listed requirements for his potential candidates including age, height, educational background and weight. He left his social network number and claimed he doesn't like materialistic girls.

According to the man, he graduated two years ago and works in advertising. He is very busy with his work and does not have enough time to meet women. He meant to find a girlfriend from the university.

He seemed to be perfectly serious about his unorthodox methods, but so far no one has applied for the position yet.

In our next story, one man's antics to cover up his drunk driving seriously backfire.
