Not the best of chat-up lines

A 34-year-old man in Shaowu, Fujian province, might have found a girlfriend had he not said something unpleasant to a young woman he had met on a blind date, www.chinanews.com reported.

The man treated the woman to a meal and they had a good talk as they dined. Impressed with each other, they decided to take a walk together but just as they were about to leave the restaurant, the man told the woman she was not suitable because his family had only one son in three generations.

The woman asked how he knew she would not be able to give birth to a son and he replied: "My mother said a woman with big hips is most likely to give birth to a son. But yours are not big and I guess you could not have a son".

The woman slapped the man's face and having never been beaten by a woman he pushed her down on the ground and wrestled with her until police arrived.
