The experience of a man in China who was astounded when a woman he had just met sent him a detailed list of future family expenses, has gone viral on mainland social media.

The 35-year-old man, surnamed Wang, lives in Hangzhou of Zhejiang province in eastern China, and works as an administrator at a state-owned enterprise, the news portal Toutiao News reported.

Wang is 1.8m tall, owns two flats in the city, and earns about 100,000 yuan (US$14,000) a year, according to the report. His profile ticks all the boxes for what is considered an eligible husband on the mainland.
