A LOVED-up man has become engaged to a SEX DOLL because he says she is so much "easier to date" than a real woman.

Xie Tianrong, who lives with his parents in Hong Kong, has even lavished expensive gifts on his new fiancee including an iPhone 12.

The 36-year old became betrothed to cut-price Mochi earlier this month in a ceremony attended by friends and family.

However, he claims he has never “violated” his fiancee and will not even kiss her over fears he will damage her "sensitive skin".

After taking delivery of the doll from mainland China in late 2019, Xie revealed he has devoted all of his time and attention to his new love.

Xie said he first learned he was attracted to dolls ten years ago when he spotted one in a store in Hong Kong's retail district.

He said: "A doll cost 80,000 yuan (£9,000) at that time, so I had to dispel my thoughts as I could not afford her.

"But in 2019, I found a silicone doll on the internet that was on sale and cost about 10,000 yuan (£1,000) so I ordered it."

Xie revealed every night Mochi sits in a chair by his bed while he sleeps and he bathes her with a damp cloth before applying talcum powder.

Xie said: "I respect Mochi and only want her as a companion.

"I have had human girlfriends before but I am only attracted to dolls now. I have never had sex with her."

The doll fanatic claimed real girlfriends always ask him for something, but Mochi demands nothing from him so "she is easier to date".

He said: "When me and my previous girlfriend were together, she was always staring at her phone, but with Mochi it's different. She will concentrate and give me all her attention."

Bizarre ceremony: Rings of the happy couple ( Image: Barcroft)

Nine-year-old Saneie Masilela has become the world's youngest groom for the second time after remarrying the 62-year-old woman he tied the knot with in 2014.

Dressed in a silvery tuxedo, baby-faced Saneie clutched the hand of mother-of-five Helen Shabangu - her children are aged between 28- and 38-years-old - as they repeated their vows a year on in front of 100 guests.

The schoolboy says he did it to make the marriage 'official' but other villagers in Ximhungwe in Mpumalanga, South Africa describe it as "sickening".

The ceremony - where guests shared a piece of cake - took place in front of Helen's long-term husband Alfred Shabangu, 66, who was there as well.

He said: "My kids and I are happy because we don't have a problem with her marrying the boy - and I don’t care what other people say.”

Both families claimed the wedding was simply another 'ritual' after Saneie was told by his dead ancestors to wed and his parents forked out £500 for the bride and another £1,000 for the ceremony.

But the schoolboy - the youngest of five children – wanted to follow South African tradition and insisted they have the second ceremony this week to make their marriage official.

Some friendships are a match made in heaven. This one is a match made in a cosmetic surgeon’s office.

Pixee Fox, who had 17 operations, including four boob jobs, liposuction and the removal of six ribs in a bid to become a real-life Barbie doll.

“Getting my ribs removed has always been a dream of mine,” Fox said in 2015.

Meanwhile, 35-year-old Justin Jedlica had more than 340 cosmetic procedures including five nose jobs, as well as implants in his shoulders, back, cheeks, biceps and rear end.

His goal: To become a real-life Ken doll as well as become “100 percent plastic.”

The two werent romantically involved ― they’re more friends with medical benefits.

“He gave me surgery tips, and had been through the same journey ― we’re often judged for our looks, and we instantly bonded,” Fox, a native of Stockholm, told Barcroft TV. “People commented on how we looked like Barbie and Ken, and we loved the attention.”

Now the duo have a relationship befitting the type that the Barbie and Ken dolls in your kid’s toy chest have.

“Our love is a plastic love,” Fox said.

12. Kyle Jones and Marjorie McCool

Kyle Jones, a 31-year old man from Pittsburgh, seems to be just like most men his age. But he actually has a very unusual taste for the women he dates. He prefers to date women that are much, much older than him. For example, he once dated a 91-year old woman, Marjorie McCool, who was 60 years older than him!

Back in 2014, the couple was featured on a documentary series called Extreme Love where they talked extensively about their five-year relationship.

Kyle admitted that it was not his first time dating women that are two to three times his age. While it appears to be unusual to many, he claimed he is just like other men who prefer plus sized women or people of certain identities.

“Everyone is wired their own way. I am wired towards older women. The first time I realized I was into older women, I was like 12 or 13. The thing is, it’s funny how they are so conscious about what I am into. I like line, I like neck features. I am into platinum hair,” he said.

The couple first met at a bookstore where Marjorie was working in 2009. Marjorie, who has been single for 37 years after separating with her husband and the father of her six children, agreed to go on a date with Kyle.

“When I first met Kyle, I was quite thrilled. It’s very flattering to have a younger guy chase you and he was very nice. Sometimes I feel like he’s another son… until we hop in bed, then I feel different,” said Marjorie.

It wasn’t surprising for them that a lot of people were suspicious of his intentions, but Kyle claimed he was not after any money. Marjorie agreed and said she doesn’t have riches or whatsoever anyways.

They would chat online regularly for a couple of years before first meeting in person on 20 December 2008. They began dating on 29 December.

They maintained a long distance relationship for four years, managing to see each other every couple of months.

Paulo, a civil servant for his local government, and Katyucia, beauty salon owner, receive a lot of attention for their height, and not all of it is good. They find that being together attracts more attention – but equally, being together gives them greater strength in dealing with the attention.

Paulo was unable to walk until the age of 21. In an attempt to be more independent, he used a child’s tricycle to aid his mobility in his late teens, and upgraded to a four-wheeler when he turned 20.

The colossal age gap between the husband and wife makes this couple one of the most unbelievable couples in the world. The Somali man named Ahmed Muhammed Dore was 112 years old when he married a 17 years old girl named Sofia Abdullah, who became his sixth wife. The man is one of the oldest people on the planet and was born in 18th century. It is almost impossible to believe that a girl as young as Sofia married a man who’s about a hundred years older than her.

At the time of marriage Dore already had 13 children and 5 wives, 3 of whom had already died. His eldest son was also dead at the age of 80. So, this couple probably have the biggest age difference, for which they can be considered one of most unique couples of all time.

Flavio is a man who started his career as a restaurant manager and insurance salesman in Italy. But, today he is a highly successful and rich Italian businessman.

On the other hand his wife named Gregoraci started her career as a dancer on the Italian television show called Libero. She has been accused of offering sexual favours in return for a job as a showgirl for the Italian national public television company RAI. Which is why, when she married a rich old man many people didn’t spend much time to call her a gold digger.

But by looking at their pictures it’s is very much clear they are both in love with each other, and seems to be living in a very healthy and successful relationship. The sole reason to include this couple on this list is that the young woman probably didn’t marry the rich old man for money but for the actual love, which is a rare case, and makes it unbelievable too.

Talking about their relationship, China said: ‘I’ve never dated a 4’4″ guy and I was just so curious. I’m glad I gave him a chance because he’s an amazing person.’
