SYDNEY (Reuters) - A Chinese woman living in Sydney has taken the unusual step of advertising for a husband on a billboard outside a cinema in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

Helen Zhou, from Shanghai, said she had tried Internet dating but found men did not want to commit.

"People are happy to date but they don't want any commitment, only temporary relationships," the middle-aged Zhou told her weekly local newspaper, the Southern Courier.

Zhou spent A$5,000 (US$3,700) on the billboard which has a large headline "HUSBAND WANTED" and a lists of requirements, such as age up to 45, good health, non-smoker and drinker, Caucasian, solid financial background and a good sense of humor.

"I'm not fussy," said Zhou, who describes herself on the billboard as a beautiful and intelligent woman seeking a "dream family with a fabulous partner."

"I guess I want a traditional sort of person, not really flash -- an old fashioned kind of guy, not one who spends every cent and doesn't worry about tomorrow."

So far Zhou's search for love has received few replies.

My guess is that she's ugly.

My guess is that she's ugly.

Yep

I can't see otherwise why she would have to advertise on a billboard.


I should not make fun of her because she can't help it.

I have yet to see a billboard as pretty as a tree.
Indeed if one should fall,
no trees at all.

Yeah. Right. So many beautiful and intelligent women who are a fabulous partner need to put up a billboard to get a date

I wouldn't touch her with a 10-foot HIV test

I'm picturing the scene out of Happy Gilmore in the start where he breaks up with his girl friend and ends up sleeping with his chinese land lady.
