Welcome To GDU (Gold Digger University)

Beijing school teaches students how to marry rich!     I guess in these tough economic times, you have to use what you got to get what you need!

For only a $3000 investment? Why not. *shrug*

Shoot you ain't gotta go to school fuh dat...

I was reading an article in Ebony about men hiding their material wealth from the women they were dating, so they dont end up with a gold digger.  That does not sound easy to me, not in the age of google.

Yes, I agree that you really don't have to pay to learn to get a man (that's funny saying that to myself and aloud) but they are paying in Yuan. 3000 Yuan converted to american dollars is only 464. 63 (rounded to next penny)

[LaylaMonroe]

The article didn't say 3000 yuan; it said $3000.

The don't use dollars in China, what sense would it make for the school to accept dollars and then turn around and take Yuan from the eligible bachelors in search of soul mates.

Reuters reports that wealthy eligible bachelors have approached the school in search of soul mates, and spent up to 30,000 yuan as an introductory fee. The school says it has successfully matched 30 couples, resulting in marriages.

Here you go, dear. Maybe this will help:

BEIJING (Reuters Life!) - Want to marry rich? Then the unlikely named Beijing Moral Education Center for Women is for you.

For 30 hours of training costing 20,000 yuan ($3,080), women keen to snag a billionaire, millionaire or even just an affluent man learn techniques to make them more attractive, from how to put on make-up in the most flattering way to how to spot a liar by looking at his facial expressions.
