So, why would a handsome, 29-year-old man with a Harvard MBA and an impressive job have to pay people to find him a girlfriend? Ren You will pay anyone who finds him a girlfriend $10,000.
There is only one catch; the relationship with this Birmingham, Ala., resident has to last six months or longer.?He even has a website dedicated to this odd quest, DateRen.com.
You talks about what did not work for him,
?I’ve done dating websites and I’ve met people through friends. I’m sure if I stuck with those ways that, down the road a few years, maybe I’d find someone, but that seems very time consuming and not efficient.?
You says his works takes a 12-hour bite out of his life, and that leaves him little to no time for dating. He explains on his website,
?Look at it this way: if you work 12 hours/day, how would you want to spend the few waking hours you have left? Probably not standing around in a bar with your fingers crossed. This is way more fun for me.?
So far he has about 400 dates lined up after his website caught the attention of the world media,
?Apparently it got picked up by a news outlet in China?so I’ve gotten bombarded with a lot of mothers recommending their daughters, which is a new thing. One mom linked to her daughter’s Rhodes Scholar write-up.?
The responses are running about half from women who want the position and half from friends or moms suggesting a girlfriend. You was surprised by this response,
?They?ll say, ?I just want this person to meet a good guy?I don’t care about the reward. I’m happy to pay if it works out because it’s a small amount of money for a big reward, but if someone preemptively says no, then it gives me some comfort that they just think I’m a pretty good dude.?
It makes me happy to see nice guys can finish first.
