Title: Chinese teen kills self when blind date turns ugly
Post by: madambaster on January 09, 2007, 12:49:28 AM: BEIJING -- A 17-year-old boy in northeastern China was so disappointed with the looks of a woman he met over the Internet that he hanged himself after seeing her face-to-face, state media reported Friday. (http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/infotech/view_article.php?article_id=41820)

I'm not sure if I should feel bad for the guy who killed himself or the girl who is so ugly she made the guy kill himself.

That's just ridiculous...honestly, she's not the only girl in the world.

I mean really, he should grow up. Or rather... decompose.

"If you saw her, you would have done the same thing."

Post by: Princess Pudding on January 09, 2007, 02:22:42 AM: Wow... that's really sad. Hanging yourself just because a girl you thought was suppose to be pretty turned out to be older and uglier? Find another girl! China has the world's largest population! You could've found someone else :p

Post by: ctz on January 12, 2007, 11:28:07 AM: lol

As always, selfkillers won't get sympathy from me. But I'm kinda sorry for the girl, but if she was almost 30 I'm sure she can handle it... Or maybe we see another suicide... What a Romeo & Juliet story it'd be :D

But because of China's population growth policy, aren't there a lot more of chinese men than women? So it's not that easy in China... But if the guys keep killing themselves I'm sure the numbers are even in notime.

Post by: Stargirl on January 13, 2007, 09:53:47 PM: That has to be the most childish and most idiotic thing to do. He must have fallen in love with her over the net to be affected so much, and he shouldn't have been soo naive to believe people on the net. I feel sorry for his family, who now know that they are obviously not as important to him as this 'ugly' woman.

Post by: ffttgg on January 19, 2007, 11:19:44 PM: im guessing there was more going on than just her looks. maybe he found out she was a male before.

From the article: "...and four days later hanged himself from a tree."

Common sense says that if he left it for four days, it may have been nothing to do with the girl that he killed himself. Just cos a news article makes that the reason... who knows? Nothing is said that he left a note giving that reason. Hmmmm...

Post by: SpiritX03 on March 04, 2007, 02:53:58 AM: that's pretty sad... for the girl, to be turn down is one thing but to be turn down as a result of him suiciding that's gotta hurt... what a weird news report. :ONsmoke:

Blind date sometimes does that to people.
Title: Chinese teen kills self when blind date turns ugly
Post by: Estrea on March 04, 2007, 05:09:51 PM: Stuff like these really show how the lines between "reality" and "virtual reality" are beginning to blur. Things that happen because of online events can directly influence our actions in "real life", as seen in this case.

It makes me wonder why we even make the distinction between online and offline as the "virtual world" vs the "real world". Is there any difference in how real the two are? The online world only lacks physical contact, but the social structure that shapes the offline world is still present online. I prefer to call "real life" simply as meatspace, since it makes more sense that way.

And anyway, the above was kinda offtopic. Guess this is another case of where people get too involved in a relationship. Regrettable, but it has happened already and can't be changed. I hope the family takes it well. And I wonder how the girl reacted...lol.

Post by: trueinnuendo on March 04, 2007, 07:32:17 PM: It's kinda shallow. I probably would consider it if I made love with a woman and found out in the morning "Dude, she's like a lady!" Eeew!

Post by: mr1nice1guy on March 11, 2007, 07:05:52 AM: The moral of the story here is never believe what you see or hear online cos it is not always what you would expect in real life.

Sometimes people do lie about their looks to get your attention. I know some girls don't have a webcam but are willing to send pictures of themselves in professionally made photographs with a heavy layer of makeup on their face wearing some nice or sexxy outfit. But when you really see them in real life they don't really look like the photograph they sent you.
So I guess this guy must have been pretty decieved by the girl online and that he must have fallen for her false looks. After seeing her very different from what he expected he must have been very disappointed. Perhaps he must have made alot of promise to her about love and marriage online. Cos of all this he found it hard to believe and hard to take in that he became so shocked that he killed himself. Well at least he could have took a step backwards and thinik for himself and look at the big picture. He could have been honest with the girl and tell her that since she is not what he expected that he just want to be friends only and just break up if he said to her that he liked her before. There are plenty of girls in china, why kill yourself for one girl when their all over the place.

Post by: orangesocks on March 11, 2007, 08:33:32 PM: Wow...I mean, God! He must have been so emotionally invested in that woman. This is depressing. I wonder if she had constantly fed him pictures of a beautiful girl whom she claimed to be herself, and then when they agreed to meet if she said, "Don't expect too much" or something. Maybe she was his last chance at something. hm!

Off topic: Sad...The one child policy is so ridiculous! Ugh, I feel so ashamed, and I don't really know why.

probably because there's implied sexism, coming directly from the parents. this is probably linked to the 250,000 chinese that commit suicide (http://moreaboutchina.blogspot.com/2007/02/250000-chinese-commit-suicide-every.html) every year. the statistics are staggering: psychological illness is now the prime cause of suicide in youth, with 32% of diagnoses occuring in primary-school-aged children.

Post by: modesta107 on March 11, 2007, 10:48:27 PM: that guy must have had serious mental problems to do that. get real, no matter how ugly someone is, a normal healthy person wouldnt go do things like that. only in a fictional world. Maybe he thought the girl was gonna be the girl of his dreams, and he just got a huge disapointment.
