Q: Are school headmasters trying to find foreign wives with the help of a recruiter?

Have you seen a few of these job advertisements about? They'll usually say "Looking for a female English teacher, must be single and unmarried," or some variant of the same thing. I'm just wondering if some men are using this as a thinly-veiled excuse to procure a foreign bride.

similar thing happened in a horror movie, film is called audition and like the name the guy fakes an audition to find a wife, although it doesnt turn out to well for him lol 

诸葛亮:

Audition (1999)

A widower takes an offer to screen girls at a special audition, arranged for him by a friend to find him a new wife. The one he fancies is not who she appears to be after all.

 

Saw it.

With the stories I have heard, bosses rarely care if a woman is married or not.  They will often try to bed them regardless of whether there is a ring on her finger or not.

 

As far as the job description goes, it looks like he is trying to hire a person that will bring him the most business.  If you were a business man, would you rather get taught by a cute, single girl or a overweight, balding guy?  It is all about presentation.

诸葛亮:

I'm well aware of that, but I was referring to western women and marriage.
