Woman Sick of Dating Apps Takes to Streets With Cardboard ‘Looking for a Husband’ Sign
We know that dating apps either work or give you a horrible experience. Many have found their soulmates through these apps, while others swipe their way into madness. As if to sum it all up, one woman’s husband search has gone so badly that she has taken to the streets to find her soul mate!
When Dating Apps Don’t Work
Karolina Getis was sick and tired of spending hours on dating apps without finding a perfect match. So, she decided to get off her phone and try out a more old-fashioned approach —a handwritten “looking for a husband” sign. The 29-year-old went out on the streets of New York City holding the sign in hopes that she would find her prince charming. Lo and behold, it actually worked!
Karolina shared that people’s reactions were great and she loved getting out of her comfort zone. A videographer captures her experience, with Karolina only seeing the public’s reaction on a rewatch later that day. notable experiences include a man who used the sign as an invitation to literally sweep Karolina off her feet. Apparently, the two are now messaging, but there’s no plan to date just yet.
The Original Idea
Karolina’s first sign-holding stunt was a plea for money “for Chanel”—because her closet was looking kind of empty. Despite the bold move and the cost of living crisis, people were pretty receptive to the idea. Getis said she had fun with the stunt and some people indeed gave her money while she was standing outside of the Chanel store.
Karolina believes that when you need something, you can always make a sign. If you ask correctly, everything will come to you. She will be using the money to buy a Chanel and a Birkin bag. If it worked well for a Chanel bag, surely it will work for a date? What a girl wants, a girl gets, after all.
