Chapter 312 Sorted by Appearance

"You regret it?" The other two female teachers were very surprised by this answer.

Both men looked at the woman in the middle at the same time:
"Sister Liu, that man isn't worth your regret."

"Yes, yes, there's only zero times or countless times when it comes to cheating. Your choice back then was absolutely right."

"You two, don't rush." ​​Zhang Zhe gestured for them to stop. "Let them finish speaking first."

"Come on, you can continue."

"He's definitely wrong, don't worry, my values ​​are still sound," the woman explained with a smile to her two colleagues.

"I just feel that the current marriage and dating market is really unfriendly to divorced women."

“Even though the man was clearly at fault, as soon as the matchmaker heard that I was divorced, she only recommended other divorced men to me.”

"Why should I?"

“No, wait a minute.” Zhang Zhe waved his hand to interrupt her. This woman’s thinking was flawed: “What you said earlier was correct. The marriage market does indeed view divorced women with prejudice.”

"But your last sentence makes me feel like you're also viewing divorced men with prejudice."

"Really?" The female teacher turned to look at her two female companions. One shook her head, and the other nodded, their opinions differing.

She could only look at Zhang Zhe and ask, "But I think it would be fine for someone like me who has never been married before, right?"

“No problem,” Zhang Zhe said with a smile. “I interrupted you to make you realize that you also care whether a guy has been divorced or not.”

"Everyone subconsciously feels that unmarried and divorced people are two completely different types of people."

"So it's normal to care about the other person's marital status when you go on a blind date in real life. The key is to look at the person."

"Oh—" The female teacher suddenly realized, nodding as she said, "Now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense."

"However, I feel like I'm also a victim. Every time someone introduces me to someone, they have to repeat to me a hundred times, 'You've already been divorced, this is pretty good,' which makes me particularly resistant to the idea of ​​divorce."

"Yes, I understand you." Zhang Zhe nodded.

Seeing the woman's state, he decided not to continue the conversation on this topic.

In fact, divorce is far more complex than just a label. Take this female teacher, for example. Her ex-husband's infidelity certainly raises serious questions, but how he cheated and why he cheated are issues that deserve in-depth investigation.

Zhang Zhe is a male matchmaker. From his own gender perspective, when he hears about a man's extramarital affair, he subconsciously wonders if there's more to it than meets the eye.

It could be that the man's needs are not being met, it could be an unhappy marriage arranged by the family, or it could be conflicts in the couple's married life...etc.

Of course, the possibility that the man is a completely bad person cannot be ruled out, which is why Zhang Zhe asked the girl if she regretted it.

However, so much time has passed that the girl probably doesn't even know now whether her regret stems from the fact that the man's actions can be forgiven, or from the fact that she has failed in too many blind dates.

"Are you still going on blind dates?"

"Actually, when I first got divorced, because I was still young and had just experienced the failure of my marriage, my parents didn't urge me to get married."

"I don't want to look for one."

"I only started going on blind dates in the last two years, as I've gotten older. I've had about three blind dates so far."

"Three? From what you're saying, all three have made it to the finals, and now it's a three-way selection?" "That's about right. I came here today to consult with the matchmakers and see which one I should choose."

"That's a good idea." Zhang Zhe gave the female teacher a thumbs up. Most people who come to this event today are probably thinking about finding a partner.

But this woman thought of using this opportunity to consult with so many matchmakers for free at once, and quickly collect a large number of third-party evaluations to help her make a choice.

That sounds very plausible.

"Tell me first, what is the biggest advantage these three boys have over the other candidates that made it to the finals?"

"The biggest advantage is probably that they are all good-looking, the kind of looks that are not unpleasant to look at."

"You're a bit of a looks-obsessed person?"

"Yes, I do judge people by their looks, and my ex-husband was very handsome."

"So you think a guy's infidelity has nothing to do with his looks, right?" Zhang Zhe asked meaningfully.

It sounds like the other person hasn't learned anything from their failed marriage.

The woman didn't answer immediately. She thought about it seriously for a while before saying, "There must be some connection, but I shouldn't be that unlucky, right?"

"It's hard to say." Zhang Zhe shook his head. He didn't intend to analyze the problem in depth, but instead returned to the main point: "Now let's sort them, A, B, C, in order of appearance. A is the ugliest and C is the most handsome. Can you give a brief introduction to each of them?"

"When you introduce him, pick out the most important aspects of the man that you think are important, so I can also see what aspects you value."

“Okay.” The woman nodded: “As for A, he was born in 89, he’s divorced and has no children, his situation is actually similar to mine, he also got divorced in less than a year of marriage.”

“His family’s financial situation isn’t as good as mine, but they’re all government employees, and his parents are minor leaders in the next city…”

Zhang Zhe noticed that when the female teacher was introducing the boy's situation, the two colleagues next to her were not surprised at all, as if they knew everything.

After the woman finished introducing herself, Zhang Zhe quickly asked her:
"Is this guy being quite proactive? Are you being pursued by him right now?"

"Yes." The woman nodded: "Currently, A is pursuing me, while B and C are in a more equal communication relationship."

"Okay, you can continue." Zhang Zhe had already sentenced A to death in his mind. He was the ugliest guy and the one who took the initiative to pursue him, but he ended up in the final round with two other guys who didn't take the initiative.

If the other two men had been more proactive, he wouldn't have had a chance.

"As for man B, he's the same age as me. He's from out of town and works in a local state-owned enterprise as a junior manager, roughly at the department manager level."

"His father works in the government, and his mother seems to run a small business, but I don't know the specifics."

“His family is better off than A’s, but he has never been married, so I feel he might have more options.”

"You think he's not just pursuing a relationship with you, right?" Zhang Zhe understood the woman's unspoken meaning.

"Yes, that's how I feel."

"And what about guy C? A handsome guy, right?"

"He is indeed quite handsome, but he was born in 00." The woman laughed shyly as she said this, "His father is a doctor, his mother works in the public sector, and he works as a teacher, just like me..."

"This isn't someone you met through a blind date, is it?" Zhang Zhe asked, looking into the woman's eyes. "Was it introduced by a colleague, or did you add each other as friends at a bar?"
