14 DAY TRIAL // This could turn be a worthwhile documentary or even reality series, but it’s the real deal: two sisters from China, experts in martial arts, have announced a tournament to find men that will go out on dates with them.
They’re young and they’re feisty – so feisty, in fact, that they can’t find men who would stand a chance against them and, as per their own admission, they never stopped trying to find them.
“Martial arts experts Xiao Lin, 22, and little sister Yin, 21, are to stage a three day fighting festival in Foushan, south east China, where only the toughest suitors stand a chance of getting through,” Metro informs.
The final round of the competition consists of taking on one of the two sisters, depending on which the “suitor” fancies more without being able to see her face.
However, before they get there, men must first prove themselves worthy in two other rounds, which will require additional skills.
“First contestants must show off their archery skills, then they must carry a heavy weight over sharpened bamboo spears, and finally they have to defeat one of the sisters in full contact combat,” Metro reports.
After they defeat the sisters, each suitor is allowed to ask his chosen one to remove her mask and then choose to propose to her or not, if he likes what he sees.
Speaking to the media, the sisters stress that staging this tournament is the last thing that could possibly help them find love, after trying to do so through dating agencies and coming out of it very disappointed.
“They can choose open hand or any weapon they wish but we won’t be holding back. If they can’t beat us they aren’t worthy,” Lin says.
“We tried dating agencies but the men we met were all to weak. We could beat them easily. So we went back to ancient ways called Bi Wu Zhao Qin – which was the way warrior princesses would find their men,” Yin adds.
Suitors are not exactly rushing to enlist for the tournament, though, the Mirror reports. According to one, who chose not to give his name, it would be best if they showed their faces first: that way, at least men would know who they were fighting for.
