Based on personal experience, he said that using agencies is too risky. He met his mistress, who attends the Shanghai Theatre Academy, after a close friend, who he trusts, introduced the two, he said.

"My good friend set up a dinner meeting for us," the man told the Global Times Thursday on the condition of anonymity. "This kind of introduction is more casual and quite common - lots of men do it this way."

He added that the fees on the pricing list, which began widely circulating locally and nationally on the Internet earlier this week, were somewhat in the ballpark though he admitted that he spends considerably more on his mistress - when taking into account all the expensive things he buys for her, saying that he probably shells out more than 100, 000 yuan ($14,750) per year.

Meanwhile, as the issue of college girl mistresses garners more public attention, many dissenting views about their work has been posted online in recent days.

The remarks contradict the findings of a Fudan University study from earlier this month, however, which said that over 56 percent of the 900 undergraduate students surveyed believed that their fellow schoolmates should have the right to make their own life choices without prejudice from others.
