A 17-year-old boy in northeastern China was so disappointed with the looks of a woman he met over the Internet that he hanged himself after seeing her face-to-face, state media reported Friday.
The unnamed teenager first contacted the woman -- known by her chat moniker "Qunjiaofeiyang", or "Flying Skirt" -- using the popular Chinese online messaging software QQ, Xinhua news agency said.
The girl described herself as a beautiful 19-year-old and the pair chatted on the Web for weeks before arranging a December 26 rendezvous in the nearby city of Mudanjiang, in far northeastern Heilongjiang province.
The boy arrived to discover the woman far less attractive than advertised and 10 years older than him, Xinhua said.
The boy immediately returned home, lost his appetite, and four days later hanged himself from a tree.
I once went on a date with a blind girl, but my acne was so bad that she kept trying to read my face.
(OK I kind of stole that one from the late great Rodney Dangerfield)
I wonder if word got back to the Chinese blind date that she caused a guy to kill himself after he saw her. Bummer, big time.
I'm a beautiful 19 year old chinese female. I enjoy long walks on the beach, romance novels, cooking my man a nice dinner, and long, soft, wet kisses. My last blind date killed himself after we met.
That musta been one ugly broad...
Hey! I was a beautiful -- oh wait! When I was 19 I used a bbs, not the Internet. :P
Though I am a 19 year old Chinese nymph, Frenchmen would call me a femme fatale, and my last blind date considered me a fatal attraction. Come see for yourself....
