A shocking post on a university forum
"Those with remarkable appearance and temperament, scoring 8 out of 10, can reside here free of charge year-round. I will even cover the electricity, water, and broadband fees, and provide an additional 200 yuan per month for room maintenance expenses. Those with average looks would pay a monthly rent of 200 yuan; those below 5 points, please don't bother coming..." Recently, a fourth-year student from a Wuhan university posted on the BBS to recruit female tenants.
This post titled "Small Nest For Rent" was published on the online forum of a Wuhan university on the morning of February 14th. The poster referred to himself as "Yihong Gentleman." According to the post, the place for female co-renters is a single room within the campus, equipped with basic appliances such as a water dispenser and air conditioner, allowing cooking and providing unlimited-speed broadband. "Yihong Gentleman" required that the tenant must be an undergraduate female college student who is either currently enrolled or has graduated, and they should not have met before. Yesterday, the reporter pretended to be a potential renter to apply.
The male poster refers to himself as the modern Jia Baoyu
Yesterday at noon, the reporter made contact with "Yihong Gentleman," agreeing to meet at his school. "Yihong Gentleman" is named Xiao Su (a pseudonym), a fourth-year student at the university, short in stature, with fair skin. Under Xiao Su's guidance, the reporter saw the room for rent. Half of the room had bedding laid on the floor, light-colored wallpaper, purple incense, and the other half separated by a screen was the kitchen, giving the impression of entering a girl's room. "Since you determine the rent based on a girl's appearance and temperament, how much do you think I should pay?" the reporter asked. Xiao Su quickly waved his hands, saying, "That's not something easy to say."
When asked why he insisted on finding only female tenants and set rent according to their looks, Xiao Su explained, "I've always enjoyed playing with girls since childhood and disliked interacting with boys. I love reading 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' and I consider myself the modern Jia Baoyu. However, I feel ugly and want to find someone more attractive to decorate my life."
Xiao Su took out a photo he had previously posted online, taken during his third year of university, showing him dressed in thigh-high stockings and a rabbit costume. Xiao Su said he liked imitating female characters from anime. The reporter jokingly suggested there might be issues with his sexual orientation. Xiao Su laughed and claimed he was a very manly guy with a beautiful girlfriend. He said his girlfriend knew about his post recruiting female tenants.
Xiao Su mentioned that he had another dormitory in the school, and this room was prepared for rent, but it must be rented by a girl. "I sometimes stay here too. As long as you are mentally strong enough, living in the same room shouldn't be a problem." After hearing this, the reporter said they needed more time to consider and left on a pretext.
Some netizens questioned his motives
Xiao Su's rental post sparked heated discussions among many netizens. Netizen "Guli Guli" replied: "I still don't understand. Is it the same room? Is this just a disguised way to find a girlfriend?"
Netizen "Fen Fen Bu Ping" commented, "Renting a female roommate and determining the rent based on her looks, dividing women into different classes, isn't this openly posting discrimination against women with less appealing appearances?"
Another fourth-year student from the same university posted, believing that Xiao Su's actions were merely to attract attention. Some female netizens also posted questioning his intentions.
Expert: Poster needs self-psychological counseling
Vice Dean of Hubei University's Education College and education expert Ye Xian expressed disapproval of the practice of opposite-sex co-renting. He believed that opposite-sex co-renting poses security risks. The moral qualities of university students vary, and opposite-sex co-renting involves many pitfalls. Therefore, female university students must enhance their vigilance and pay attention to self-protection. Additionally, even when co-renting with acquaintances of the opposite sex, one should guard against possible safety issues.
Wuhan Dacheng Psychological Counseling Center's senior psychological counselor Jia Hongwu believed that Xiao Su's behavior indicated deficiencies in social interactions and barriers in communicating with people of the same sex. Subconsciously, those who dislike males may have psychological deviations. Generally speaking, when they need to interact deeply with the same sex due to work requirements, if they take the initiative to correct themselves, they have the potential for self-repair.
