Mom puts ad for people to date her daughter

A mother has launched a newspaper appeal urging men to write a 500-word essay on why they should be allowed to go out with her 24-year-old daughter.

The mom has placed an ad stating her appeal with the question: "Who wants to date my daughter?".


Single men aged between 24 and 30 are being invited to send in a picture to the North Devon Journal. Ms Adams, 53, said she wanted daughter Sabina to get a partner she deserved.

She insisted that she was not looking for a husband for her daughter, but just hoped to find someone she could celebrate Christmas with after spending the past few single.

Good looks were not the main requirement, she said. But the article does add that "Brad Pitt lookalikes will not be rejected out of hand".

Thanks mom, you probably just ruined your daughters social life forever. I’m sure she’s been plastered all over the local news… (obviously at least the newspaper), I’m totally 100% sure all the guys who will respond to an ad like this will be those genuinely nice ‘guys you’ll wanna take home to mama.’ People are fu*kin crazy. What happened to just going out and talking to people. You don’t have the social skills to do that? Well, you probably won’t have the social skills to talk to whoever responds to this stupid ass newspaper add. Whatever.
