If You Are the One

A British guy participated in the hit Chinese dating show, “If You Are the One”. The format of the show is copied from the British dating show “Take Me Out”. The Chinese version is in your face about money; male contestants will frequently show off their bank statements and luxury cars in an effort to earn the interest from a parade of 24 women, who will either pass on them by turning off their lights or compete for a date.

First question: “Are you the only son?”

The guy answered, “No, I have an elder brother. He just got married.”

(A few lights turned off.)

“Do you own a house?”

“Yes, but it’s an old house from last century.”

(A few more lights turned off.)

“Where will you live after married?”

“Live with grandma, dad, step-mum, brother and sister-in-law.”

(More lights turned off.)

“What is your occupation?”

“I’m a soldier.”

(More lights turned off.)

“What is your father’s job?”

“My father does not have a job.”

(Now, only one light was still on.)

The woman with her light on asked, “Will you hire a limousine for wedding?”

“Well, my grandma will probably not allow it. We normally use a horse drawn carriage for wedding. Do you like horse drawn carriage?”

The woman snorted, “I’d rather cry in the back of a limousine!”

All the lights were off now.

The British guy was embarrassed and left the show with tears.

Next day, the headline of Times:
