You might expect love to hurt, but for one lovesick Dutch man in China it resulted in a hospital trip for exhaustion.

Alexander Pieter Cirk, 41, recently flew from Holland to Hunan province in the hope of meeting his online girlfriend, a Chinese woman known only as Zhang.

In the weeks following 9/11, I flew into Colorado Springs to await the arrival of an online girlfriend. I stayed in the arrival lounge to greet her when her flight came in. It wasn’t half an hour before an armed national guardsman came in and forced me out of the area.

“And he has won little sympathy in China”

He will get no sympathy anywhere. Stupidity is painful.

The guy doesn't have much going for him.

And with teeth like that, I don't expect him to have a lot of money either.

Stupid, ugly and broke.

Well...at least he has his hand.

An acquaintance of mine had this happen to him at least three times. Send money and no one show. One time he sent money to Nicole in Kenya. He eventually found her and it turned out to be Nicholas.

He finally got a girl and married her. Her former husband died under suspicious circumstances.

Caveat emptor.
