...But Yi suspects the real issue (vấn đề thật sự) is something else: his degree certificate (chứng chỉ tốt nghiệp).

Though Yi attended a respectable (đáng trọng; đáng kính; đứng đắn) college (trường cao đẳng), most of his prospective (tương lai, về sau, sắp tới) partners graduated (tốt nghiệp) from the prestigious (có uy tín, có thanh thế; đem lại uy tín, đem lại thanh thế) Project 985 group of elite (ưu tú, tinh hoa) Chinese universities. And in today’s China, that distinction (sự khác biệt/tương phản, nét đặc biệt/độc đáo, sự xuất chúng/lỗi lạc) means everything.

“I feel a distance from many on the platform (nền tảng),” says Yi, who gave only his surname for privacy reasons. “They’re out of my league.”

On HIMMR, snap judgments based on a person’s college diploma are par for the course. The dating platform has found success by tapping into a growing tendency in China to view an individual’s alma mater (trường đại học) — rather than their appearance (bề ngoài), personality (tính cách), or career (công việc) — as the ultimate indicator of their value.

HIMMR — an acronym for How I Met Mr. Right — was founded by two alumni of Tsinghua University (đại học thanh hoa), Beijing’s top-ranked college, in 2015. From the beginning, it has marketed itself as an exclusive (dành riêng) club for elite graduates, arguing that pairing users by educational background (nền tảng học vấn) is the most “authentic, high-quality, and efficient” way to foster (chăm sóc và nuôi dưỡng, giúp cho sự trưởng thành/phát triển)  long-term romantic relationships (mối quan hệ lãng mạn lâu dài).

Only students from Project 985 schools and a select group of overseas institutions are allowed to set up accounts on HIMMR — a policy the platform rigidly enforces. New users have to submit all their higher education certificates before creating an account, while those who studied abroad must have their diplomas verified by China’s Ministry of Education.
