Sun Mar 23 05:47:19 UTC 2025: ## Chinese Professor’s High Standards for Girlfriend Spark Online Outrage
**Hangzhou, China** – A 35-year-old associate professor at Zhejiang University’s School of Marxism has found himself at the center of a social media storm after posting a detailed list of requirements for a potential girlfriend on a matchmaking platform. The professor, identified only by his surname Lou, boasts a PhD from a top Chinese university, a yearly income exceeding 1 million yuan (approximately $140,000 USD), and a seemingly extensive list of demands for a romantic partner.
Lou’s post, which has gone viral, specifies that he is seeking a woman born after 2000, standing between 165-171 cm tall, and possessing a “slim” figure and “good image.” He also prioritizes women graduating from top-20 global universities, particularly in law or medicine, although he added he would consider exceptions based on factors such as appearance or family wealth.
The post has drawn widespread criticism online, with many accusing Lou of objectifying women and treating relationships as a transactional exchange. Others, however, defended his right to choose a partner based on his preferences.
Zhejiang University’s School of Marxism swiftly distanced itself from Lou’s post on March 17th, stating that it contained “untrue information” without further elaboration. The university added that Professor Lou has filed a police report regarding the incident. The controversy continues to fuel heated debate on Chinese social media platforms.
