A 45-year-old man in China who says he deserves to have a “tall and pretty wife” because he looks young, remains single after more than 100 blind dates, and is facing ridicule on mainland social media.

Wang Zhihui, a 70-year-old famously successful matchmaker in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, eastern China, has arranged scores of blind dates for the man over the past decade.

She said the man, surnamed Feng, thinks very highly of himself and is extremely selective about the candidate he is considering as his future wife.

Feng insists the woman must have been born after the 1990s, is good-looking, no shorter than 160cm, and must be an “authentic” Hangzhou local who was born there.

Fussy Feng, who is 172cm tall, said he would not accept women 159cm or below because he “needs to consider the next generation”, implying that he is thinking about what any future children might look like.

He told Wang he was entitled to be choosy because he has “a baby face and look young”.
