A matchmaking party held in Beijing for three eligible bachelors has attracted more than 100 single women to attend.

The three heroes of the party were 26-year-old Mr. Song, boss of an enterprise chain, 30-year-old Mr. Yin, senior consultant for an investment company, and 46-year-old Mr. Li, a former senior official in the government.

Ms. Ge, the organizer of the activity, says that the basic requirements for the heroes of the party were that they have a bachelor's degree and over one million yuan, or about US$125,000 in personal capital.

During the party, they could talk with the women applicants and ask them to sing and perform a dance. Marriage consultants and psychologists were on hand to help them find a match based on an analysis of their personalities.

Miss Zhang, a white-collar lady, says that she wasn't sure whether the three men, however excellent, would suit her or not. She just wanted to get to know them.

Miss Wu, another participant in the activity, complains that the organizer gave them little time to talk to each other. She came to the event with an aim to find out the requirements of these elite men for their future lovers, but had no chance to ask.
