Al Gilberti, a 70-year-old resident of Sweetwater, Texas, has embarked on an unconventional quest for love, investing a hefty sum of over KSh 55K ($400) weekly on billboard advertisements.
Describing himself as a "lonely male" in search of a "female marriage-minded" partner, Gilberti's towering 20-foot-high billboard features his image alongside a call-out for potential suitors.
Since its installation two weeks ago, the billboard has generated significant attention, garnering over 400 calls and 50 emails, according to Gilberti's statements to SWNS.
However, amidst the flood of responses, Gilberti expressed disappointment at the opportunistic nature of some inquiries.

According to him, many individuals seemed more interested in financial gain than genuine connection.
Hailing from Burlington, Vermont, Gilberti, a divorced father of one, emphasised qualities of loyalty, honesty, and sincerity as non-negotiables in his search for love.
Despite specifying a preference for a partner with a "slim build," he maintains an open-minded approach towards physical appearance.
Expressing his willingness to go to great lengths, including relocating to Europe, Gilberti emphasises his commitment to finding "the one."
Highlighting his readiness to embrace new experiences, he asserts his capacity as a good listener and a source of support.
Despite facing scepticism from some due to his age, Gilberti remains resolute, challenging stereotypes surrounding senior individuals and advocating for an open-minded approach to relationships.
