A class that claims to teach women how to marry multimillionaires and costs more than 10,000 yuan (US$1,570) has attracted a dozen students in a city in China's southwest.

The class in Chengdu is being taught by a 42-year-old woman named Su Fei who says she married a multimillionaire when she was 37. Su promises to provide opportunities for her students to meet rich men as part of the course, Chengdu Business Daily reported.

The newspaper said classes began on Sunday in the provincial capital of Sichuan after a successful run in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, seven years ago when more than 100 women applied to attend similar lessons.

Fewer women applied for the class this time, probably because women in Chengdu aren't under so much pressure and not so eager to marry rich men, Su told the newspaper.

Her lessons cover topics such as how to approach rich men, how to date them, when to begin an intimate relationship and how to receive gifts, the newspaper said. "If you want to approach a rich man, learn his hobbies and venues he would frequently visit. Then you pretend to meet him at the venues accidentally and you happen to have the same hobbies," Su tells her students.

"During the first date, you should choose a seat carefully to let the light illuminate behind you at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees. This will make your face look prettier," Su says.

The course teaches the women not to order very expensive food at high-end restaurants or accept luxury gifts. It says that rich men usually favor teachers, doctors and civil servants and dislike flight attendants, journalists and shop owners.

"If a multimillionaire dates you for two years and still doesn't plan to marry you, then you probably don't have the chance to be his wife," Su says. "It's important to control the pace during dating to marry him in one year. It's not wise to have an intimate relationship in the first two months."

Her students told the newspaper the classes were worth it to get a chance to marry into wealth. A 44-year-old woman surnamed Qi said she paid 20,000 yuan to become a VIP in the course to get closer to rich men.

The classes follow a series of competitions across the country in which rich men were choosing their future wives from thousands of female applicants.
