Woman Posts 'Groom Wanted' Ad In Newsagent Window To Bag Her Friend A Husband

Nowadays, it's pretty easy to land a date. All you need to do is download a dating app, get swiping and get chatting. Obviously this doesn't mean your date will be of any particular quality, but a date's a date.

But when it comes to bagging yourself a potential husband, apps such as Tinder aren't always as effective.

Realising this, one woman - who is either the best or worst friend in the world (we're still undecided) - took her pal's bachelorette status into her own hands and posted a 'Groom Wanted' sign in the window of a local newsagent.

The note, which was spotted by BBC News producer Sarah Bloch in the window of Global News, Stratford reads: "I am looking for an engineer groom for my friend.

"She is 32 years old, muslim, 5' 3", fair, from Bangladesh but settled in UK. She is quite smart and working at the moment.

"She got divorced last year but no kids. Now we are looking for an engineer groom from good family and education background. Age between 32-38 years old.

"If you or any of your f&f [family and friends] are interested, please email CV with recent pictures. Thanks."

The journalist who spotted the advertisement, Sarah Bloch, told the Mail Online that she thought it was quite "bold" to try and "marry off your friend in a shop window".

But, she added, "it isn't actually all that different from online dating".

For those who think this idea is pretty damn bonkers, we can assure you - it's really not. Earlier this year, a man offered to pay out £6,500 to the person who could help him bag a longterm girlfriend.

Now that's bonkers.

Sex, Love And Dating Do's And Dont's

DO: Choose The Right Location(01 of05)

While no one's denying the allure of aisles full of screws and hard wood, getting nailed at Home Depot can land you in jail. Just ask this couple, who learned the hard way that Home Depot's former motto of "You Can Do It. We Can Help" is a big, fat lie.

Oh yeah, don't have sex while driving a car, either. (credit:Gettystock/Ethan Fedida)

DO: Pick A Human Partner(02 of05)

This means no pool floats, no couches and, for God's sake, no animals.

If you, like this Texas gentleman, are under the impression that having sex with a horse will result in "a horse-man baby," you are severely mistaken. (credit:Gettystock)

DON'T: Include Your Family(03 of05)

Family should always come first, but not in the bedroom.

When this South Carolina man attempted a three-way with his girlfriend and her female cousin, the night ended with an assault charge. Don't try this at home, or anywhere. (credit:Gettystock)

DO: Call Your Mom(04 of05)

Not while shaking the sheets, obviously, but let her know what's happening in your life every now and then. Otherwise, you might wind up like this British man, whose mother reported him missing when he was really just having sex at a hotel. (credit:Gettystock)

Do NOT Let A Dolphin Assist With Your Child's Birth(05 of05)

If you wind up with a case of the babies, go to a doctor, not a dolphin.

This North Carolina couple claims they traveled to Hawaii to partake in a "dolphin-assisted birth," which is also known as "hands down, one of the worst natural birthing ideas anyone has ever had," according to science writer Christie Wilcox.

Seriously, dolphins have been known to try to rape people, and disrupting wild dolphin populations with your screaming, blood-covered bundle of joy is dolphin-itely a terrible idea. (credit:Shutterstock)
