A UK-based bachelor took to advertising himself on huge billboards in his quest to find a woman.
Muhammad Malik had set up a website and bought several advertising hoardings across Birmingham to look for a prospective life partner, according to new reports.
The 29-year-old entrepreneur could be seen smiling as he jokingly asked to be “saved” from an arranged marriage in billboards that popped up across the city and in Manchester.
Mr Malik, who is from London but considers Birmingham his second home, said that he was not opposed to the idea of arranged marriage but wanted to “try and find someone on my own first.”
“I just haven’t found the right girl yet. It’s tough out there. I had to get a billboard to get seen!” he clarified on his website.
“My ideal partner would be a Muslim woman in her 20s, who’s striving to better.” He wrote. Since he put up the billboards, Mr Malik said he had received hundreds of messages.
Mr Malik said he tried a few other methods to find a future wife before plastering his face on billboards.
He said he tried dating apps and a few dating events, before a friend suggested that he should literally advertise himself.
