Sugar daddies, attractive gold diggers wanted

If this isn't a recipe for true love, well, I don't know what is:

A matchmaking love boat cruise open only to male millionaires and "good-looking and desirable" women is slated to set sail later this month, a state-run Chinese newspaper said Tuesday.

Men on the cruise scheduled to go along Shanghai's Huangpu River must be worth at least 2 million yuan ($250,000), the China Daily quoted organizer Xu Tianli as saying.

Xu said more than 20 men had signed up for the Nov. 25 cruise and that half of those registered to take part were worth more than 200 million yuan ($25 million).

Yep, like I said, true love. Meanwhile, Jacqueline Mackie Paisley Passey, you might want to call your travel agent. Or maybe not:

Fewer than 30 of the 1,000 woman who applied were accepted, Xu said.

"Only those who were attractive in every category can take part in this event," Xu said, without giving the specific criteria interested female applicants had to meet.

One of the men who signed up for the cruise, identified only by his surname Sun, said "appearance is most important to me."

And I'm sure those good-looking women will love you just because you're a great person, and not because of your money.

Is it just me, or does this sound like it could possibly be the most depressing, soul-deadening cruise ever? On the bright side, I guess they all know what they're getting into.
