美国男子重酬一万美元寻女友
This Alabama man has been on 30 unsuccessful dates in the past ten months -- to remedy this situation, he created a website offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who can find him a girlfriend.
这位来自阿拉巴马州的男子在过去的十个月里已经遭遇了30次失败的约会了——为了改善这种情况，他创建了一个征友网站，谁能够为他找到女朋友，他就重酬一万美元。
Ren Lu You is a 29-year-old living in Birmingham, Alabama.
He's a recent Harvard Business School graduate and works full-time as a private equity associate.
There's just one problem: He can't seem to find the right woman.
To remedy this situation, You created his own dating website, dateren.com, where people can submit female friends who might like to date You.
As an incentive, if You and a woman submitted to the site wind up dating for more than six months, You says he will pay $10,000 to the person who helped set them up (unless You's future girlfriend submits herself, in which case she would not be eligible for the cash reward).
Finding the woman of his dreams is worth at least $10,000 to You. He compares finding a potential partner to purchasing other "big-ticket items" such as a car or a house.
"I would argue that all these things pale in importance to finding somebody you get along with and you may end up marrying," You told BI. "So $10,000 seemed pretty reasonable."
