Chapter 205 Plato

After ending the live stream with the woman born in 85, Zhang Zhe reiterated his request in the live stream:

"The premise for defining your marital status is that you want to enter into marriage."

Before you connect on video, think carefully about whether you are really ready to get married. Is it okay to just date without getting married?

"Many people break down and analyze their requirements in the live stream, only to find that they are looking for a younger man or an older woman, which is not the same as marriage, and the streamer can only help with very little."

"Of course, if you can't figure it out at all, you can also join the live stream, because the host really has run out of material."

Zhang Zhe pulled up the list of people who had applied to join the live stream and showed it to the audience.

No one has applied yet.

Nowadays, platforms all require spending money to buy traffic, and the quality of natural traffic is too low, so few people are willing to go on the microphone.

"Oh? Welcome to this girl from Chengdu."

"Sure, your IP address makes me think you'll have a hard time finding a partner."

Zhang Zhe clapped his hands to welcome her, and the woman was very accommodating, turning on her camera immediately.

She has a rather ordinary appearance, and she came to the live stream wrapped in a blanket.

What's a bit outrageous is that, although she was wrapped in a blanket, the girl wasn't wearing makeup; her false eyelashes were curled up.

It gives the impression of someone who just woke up from a hangover and forgot to remove their makeup.

"Sister, have you had some minor cosmetic surgery on your face?"

"I think your chin looks a bit strange."

"No, I'm all natural." The woman shook her head: "Why would I need plastic surgery when I'm already so beautiful?"

"..." Zhang Zhe nodded with difficulty: "To be honest, it's not good-looking, only 3 points."

"Of course, I'm not good-looking myself, so my rating is purely from an objective perspective."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm not being overly sensitive. Maybe I really am not good-looking, otherwise I wouldn't have been single for 5 years."

"OK, then you can continue."

Zhang Zhe nodded. The girl's appearance didn't give the impression that she was someone who could endure loneliness. Although she wasn't pretty, she shouldn't have been unable to find a partner for 5 years.

There must be other reasons; we need to hear the basic conditions before we can make a judgment.

"I was born in 97, I am 158 cm tall and weigh around 95 catties, which is quite stable."

“My dad is a businessman, but I don’t know exactly what kind of business he’s in now because he’s always traveling back and forth between China and abroad. Anyway, his annual income is over a million.”

“My mom owns her own beauty salon.”

Do you not know what your father does?

This girl seems a bit naive when she talks.

[My mom owns a beauty salon? No wonder I thought her face looked a little strange.]

"Sister, you're 28 years old, and you can't even explain your father's business clearly?"

"If I were on a blind date with you and heard you say that, my first reaction would be that you're not a normal person. Either you're a brainless person who just eats, drinks, and has fun all day, or your family's money comes from an illegal source."

“I really didn’t know,” the woman explained. “My dad keeps changing jobs.”

"But what you said has reminded me."

"I've been on over 40 blind dates, and I haven't ended up dating any of them. Is this the reason?"

"That's possible." Zhang Zhe nodded. "Maybe none of these boys are good enough."

"However, it's most likely your own problem."

"The probability of all 40 men causing your blind date to fail is very small."

"I think maybe you don't know what you want?"

"Look, the comments say it too, the way you talk makes it sound like your head is empty."

"No," the woman said with a surprised look. "I think my own perception is pretty good."

"So when I go on blind dates, I require that the man's vision, perspective, and understanding of the world match mine."

[I feel uncomfortable whenever I hear the word "cognition" now.] [Girls who browse Xiaohongshu every day generally have good cognition.]

[The sisters' educational background should be at least a private undergraduate or associate degree level; if they had any education at all, they wouldn't have said such things.]

The less something is actually available, the more it should be touted.

"The person I'm looking for has to understand me," the woman emphasized.

"I don't like the kind of relationship where all you do is eat, drink, go shopping, and watch movies every day. I think that's too superficial."

"I understand, you want to find a soulmate, right?" Zhang Zhe roughly understood what the other person meant.

He could even guess that the girl was probably a liberal arts student, and the kind who hadn't experienced much of the harsh realities of life, looking for a partner based on the template of Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang.

"To be honest, you won't find this kind of person in the matchmaking market."

"Such people are rare and hard to find."

“My first love was just like that.” The woman pursed her lips and said, “I had a relationship about five years ago. My ex-boyfriend was someone who was very compatible with me on a spiritual level. He understood me.”

"Our ways of thinking are also very similar."

"But our love is Platonic."

"..." Zhang Zhe subconsciously covered his nose.

It tastes like a refreshing sweet potato.

After graduating from high school, he only saw women on Xiaohongshu and Douban claiming that they were in "Platonic love".

It refers to a kind of love where two people communicate purely on a spiritual level.

Such relationships do exist, but they only occur when both parties are relatively pure in their thoughts. Once they are slightly tainted by the realities of life, they cannot continue.

"Then why don't you go and get back together with your ex?" Zhang Zhe suggested, with the intention of offering advice. "Plato it is."

"If you choose to pursue spiritual fulfillment, then don't pursue anything else."

"It's a pity he's already married," the girl said, shaking her head. "And he lives abroad."

"It's okay, aren't you two Platonic? Whether you're married or not doesn't matter."

"Isn't this what happened between Lin Huiyin and Jin Yuelin? A girl who emphasized spiritual life was forced by reality to marry man A, but she was thinking about man B. Isn't that something you consider romantic?"

"By the way, if I may ask, what is your educational background, young lady?"

"I graduated from a second-tier university."

"A liberal arts student, right?"

"Yes, I studied Chinese language and literature."

[Second-tier universities suffer reputational damage]

[Plato is hilarious, he's a man and he's compatible with her in a way that suggests he's a woman.]

The 40 men she went on blind dates with were tortured.

[Like the kind of person who liked their professor in college, wanted to be their mistress but was rejected, and can't get over it.]

[Brother Zhang really knows what he's doing; he just asked about their education level and everything became clear.]

"Sister, I actually have a solution for your situation."

"Back in the day, I was a key member of the school's literary society, and my articles were even published in Mengya magazine. I can cure your 'soulmate-seeking affliction'."

"Go and look within a group of people who share your interests."

"For example, if you like Rousseau, you can join a Rousseau book club; if you like Chopin, you can attend offline concerts to make friends; if you like the vast universe, you can find male students majoring in astronomy."

"In short, the spirit is a very abstract thing; you have to find a place where it can be grounded."

"Look, a guy in the comments said, 'If you want to be a blond guy, you should apply to be an actor in SOD.'"

"Don't limit yourself to the blind date market. Expand your social circle and reach. Do you expect the guy you're on a blind date to understand your inner world?"

"To be honest, stop torturing them."
