BEIJING -- A 17-year-old boy in northeastern China was so disappointed with the looks of a woman he met over the Internet that he hanged himself after seeing her face-to-face, state media reported Friday.

The unnamed teenager first contacted the woman -- known by her chat moniker "Qunjiaofeiyang", or "Flying Skirt" -- using the popular Chinese online messaging software QQ, Xinhua news agency said.

The girl described herself as a beautiful 19-year-old and the pair chatted on the Web for weeks before arranging a December 26 rendezvous in the nearby city of Mudanjiang, in far northeastern Heilongjiang province.

The boy arrived to discover the woman far less attractive than advertised and 10 years older than him, Xinhua said.

The boy immediately returned home, lost his appetite, and four days later hanged himself from a tree.

Wow, I wonder how guilty that woman feels after getting the person she went on a date with to hang himself.

along the lines somewhere, it scares me to think that we'd be more concerned about spelling errors than the incident that the article is talking about... pretty creepy

anyway, that is pretty sad. I think the Op is kinda of right though, the guy must've had some pretty low self esteem to be that desperate and especially thinking that true love over cyber space is the only way to accomplish inner peace...

right after high school, I thought cyber dating was super cool, and that I had to live my life to somehow match those flawless online profiles - ...boy, was I far from the real world.

that is quite sad, however, that someone would commit suicide on behalf of a failed blind date, though.

that's because this is at least the second repost so many of us have seen it before and have read/participated in discussions on the event

and I like to correct others on spelling mistakes because I think of it as helping. I wouldn't mind others correcting me (unless it's obviously a typo, which I assume is not the case here)
