Beijing school instructs Chinese girls on how to marry rich
Editor's Note: The following piece comes from Global Post, which provides excellent coverage of world news – important, moving and odd.
A school in Beijing is offering courses in how to snag a billionaire or — if you can settle for it — a millionaire, or perhaps just an affluent man.
Reuters is reporting on the Moral Education Center for Women and its $3,000, 30-hour course that teaches its clients "techniques to make them more attractive, from how to put on make-up in the most flattering way to how to spot a liar by looking at his facial expressions."
They would also learn how to read a man’s character (if that matters at all), and brush up on their conversational and traditional skills, such as tea-pouring techniques.
Reuters reports that wealthy eligible bachelors have approached the school in search of soul mates, and spent up to 30,000 yuan as an introductory fee. The school says it has successfully matched 30 couples, resulting in marriages.
