Humans are social beings who cripple due to loneliness. Being alone is difficult for anyone at any age since many of us want to share the highs and lows of life. A 70-year-old man recently used an unusual method to find a partner because he was tired of being alone. For $400 a week, or around Rs 33,000, he rented a giant billboard intending to find the perfect woman for "marriage and karaoke." This unique billboard is located close to Sweetwater, Texas, in the United States, and it has proven to be successful, according to a story by The New York Post.

Al Gilberti, 70, has adopted a novel strategy in his search for partner by posting a billboard stating his need for a companion. Loyalty, honesty, and sincerity are Gilberti's top requirements in a partner, and he's willing to relocate to any part of the US or even the UK in search of the ideal one.

Gilberti's picture is displayed on a 20-foot billboard with the words "Lonely Male Can Relocate Sweetwater" and "Seeks Female Marriage Minded, Enjoys Karaoke." Though most of the questions he gets are about his money, Gilberti is still optimistic that he'll find "Miss Right" quickly.

Gilberti is open to relationships with people of any age and has been single since 2015. Gilberti also thinks that loneliness is a common emotion. He takes great satisfaction in listening well and has a secure retirement. Additionally, he's accommodating when it comes to first dates; he's eager to start using Zoom calls for long-distance talks and is open to moving within the US or even beyond. He acknowledges that getting attention is a contributing factor in the billboard, but finding true love is his ultimate desire.

The most recent one was reportedly put up on April 2 and in less than two weeks, he reportedly received over 400 calls and perhaps 40 or 50 emails. "I have the calls redirected to a friend's phone," he said. There have been more questions from individuals who want to obtain something from me, which makes sense because I would probably do the same! According to sources, people were asking questions, thinking he was someone rich who could help them with their bills.
