OH LADIES!!! Bachelor Will "Work For Wife"

[matcom]

<snip>

OMAHA, Neb. -- An Omaha man is on a mission to find a wife, and he's taking it to the streets.

Harold is 45, and he's bought a billboard, started a Web site, and spent Tuesday on the corner of 72nd and Dodge streets with a picket-style sign -- all designed to find him a wife. The idea started with those signs people hold that say: "Will work for food." Harold's slogan is: "Will work for a wife."

"I'm looking at this as a summer campaign," Harold said. "This is my summer project. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?"

Harold is determined to find his mate, and he's not afraid to use unconventional methods.

"My problem is, I don't meet women. I'm a truck driver. I meet people on the road, but at home, I don't meet any women," he said.

The billboard, signs and business cards drive people to Harold's Web site WillWorkForAWife.org. The site outlines exactly what he wants.

"I want a woman who is kind, who is polite, courteous, that treats other people with respect, dignity, and integrity," Harold said.

The billboard will be in downtown Omaha later this month.

"I would like to be married by Christmas, if you want the truth on it, but I don't think that'll happen," the bachelor said.

Harold has already spent about $1,000 searching for a spouse.

"How much will I spend? That's an open-ended question. How much am I willing to spend? Five to $10,000," Harold said. "Cheaper than getting a mail-order bride."

Harold plans to spend as many months as the weather will allow standing on street corners, drawing attention to his cause.

1. What does "Walk by Faith. Not by Sight" mean?

Is this why he can't find a wife? He blindfolds them to test their faith in God? :rofl:

5. You obviously haven't seen Indiana Jones III. Heathen

4. Thing is, I know some women who actually do...

...and it's not pretty!

[BlueJazz]

6. Yeah..Women are really turned on by Crawling, Sniveling ...

..suitors. The amazing thing is >>The type of person who would answer such "Ads" is probably the type that would not be the best partner...

3. WTF?

:hide:

7. That's nothing

Check out Rod at http://10kforawife.com

A few years ago, I did a parody called PaintJobForAGirlfriend.com, where I promised to paint anyone's car for getting me a girlfriend. I need to bring that back. Rod himself contact me.

Rod's a newage nutjob (sorry, call 'em as I see 'em).

14. Rod's still looking, eh?

[TlalocW]

18. Rod will forever be looking

He presents himself too much as an uber-great guy to the point of being in awe of himself, and he'll never find a woman good enough for him.

20. You're right.

From what I've read, there will be no woman who can measure up to what he wants and expects.

8. The problem with this man is

he wants a beauty queen and he's a plain Jim. Plain Janes are everywhere but he has an inflated ego and thinks they're not good enough for him. That's why he isn't married.

9. I am reminded of Aphrodite's marriage to Hephaestus at this moment.

Is that mean of me, or just logical?

10. Dear Lord.

That's one of the town's busiest intersections. :eyes:

"I want a woman who is kind, who is polite, courteous, that treats other people with respect, dignity, and integrity," Harold said.

As opposed to most men who want belching, rude women who are mean to people and lie. Huh? :shrug:

[matcom]

12. yes

in capri pants :D

[SarahB]

15. :P

:spank:

I will wear capri pants and change the way you think about capri pants (with a shirt :eyes:). It is my mission. :D

16. "Cheaper than getting a mail-order bride."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Jamison]

17. Yep.

I heard mail-order brides run anywhere from $25K on up.:wtf:

[SOteric]

19. Okay then, good luck to him.

:shrug:

21. There's a woman who has a site and wanted to be married by New Year's.

I *wish* I remembered her name, because I wanted to see if she did it. I also wanted to post about it here in DU and couldn't because I couldn't remember who she was, a search yielded nothing....ah well.

I can't fault people who are serious about finding a partner--instead of sitting around feeling lonely all the time, they're actually trying to find someone.

That guy is no Shah Rukh Khan ( :loveya: :loveya: ) but having seen married people, I'm sure there's someone for him who will be thrilled to pieces to find him.
