Yu Zhenhuan, the 2002 record holder as the "world's hairiest man" according to the Guiness Book Of World Records, has recently broken up with his girlfriend. Wasting no time, Yu re-entered the dating scene by joining an online dating agency.
Another member of Yu's dating agency saw his picture profile and called the media to report him. "I was amazed to see his picture there, since I'd been hearing he was going to get married soon. So I called the media," said the member who wished to remain anonymous.
Yu confirmed questions of his prior relationship's demise. "We got to know each other through the Internet and had been seeing each other for three years. Unfortunately our relationship has come to an end," he explained. "My whole body is covered with hair, and my parents are worried I won't be able to find a wife. May girls are shocked when they see me in person," he added.
Although 96% of Yu's body is covered with dense hair, he does not hide his unique appearance. In addition to online dating, he also displays photos of himself on his website, http://www.maohai.com/.
In a 2004 interview, Yu expressed some of the hardships of growing up in China with this kind of physical characteristic. "People laughed at me and called me 'caveman'. I used to throw stones back and fight them as a kid, but now I've grown up and learnt how to endure it," he said as he recuperated in a hospital ward from ear surgery.
It was during this interview that Yu also expressed interest in pursuing a career as a professional singer. "I hope to prove myself and others wrong in singing some day. Of course, in the beginning, people will say, that's just 'hairboy' singing," Yu Said. "But I want to rely on my skills to make it big," he added.

I think he's the perfect match for Rockmerite. =)
That dude has some serious hair. He should move to Hollywood and take up acting. Seriously.
Looks like a rogain overdose. Maybe he'll shave his body, then go to rehab for a day.
Sexy!
Now why pray tell, would some lady see his picture and think to call the media?
How is his personal life any of her damn business? No wonder she wanted to remain anonymous
Yikes! And I thought we had some hairy bears on Bearotic! LOL
We've noticed that Yu tends to cover the parts of his body that are hairless, and uncovers the hairy parts - with a few obvious exceptions of course - as a means to show off his furry quality... I think it's cool that he's learned to turn an issue of embarrassment into something he's proud of.
Just want to share a good dating site..
Finding love right?
