Matches for aspiring cinderellas?

Cinderella needs more than a pair of glass slippers to net her prince,
said a south China company, which offers to prepare women for matches to
rich bachelors.


Shenzhen-based Zuanyuan (or diamond affinity) Information Co opened a
so-called "diamond lady class" last month, offering 10 courses including
image building and household management, the Nanfang Daily reported.

The objective is to "permit the ladies to meet rich bachelors'
requirements for a wife," said company General Manager Wu Jintao.

"Many young girls dream about marrying rich men so that they can enjoy a
better social and economic life, while on the other hand, unmarried rich
men find it hard to find someone who meets their criteria for a perfect
wife," Wu said.

The company also provides matchmaking services for rich bachelors,
charging from 60,000 yuan (US$7,500) to one million yuan, saying it's in
touch with China's richest men.

The "diamond lady class" costs each potential Cinderella 20,000 yuan to
50,000 yuan and promises to later introduce them to single rich men.

Critics from the Nanfang Daily called for people to get rich themselves
instead of becoming "a rich man's accessory" through marriage.
