Failing to find a partner, man’s unique dating strategy: Advertise on billboard

The billboard is currently erected on Fairfield street in Manchester and features a picture of him lounging on his side with the caption, “Single? Date Mark. This could be the sign you’ve been waiting for.” The billboard also contains the name of his website “Dating Mark.co.uk”.

Why does a parody account even exist when the real you does stuff like this!

Nice job Mark. Dating is 💯 harder these days and the apps don’t make it easier. People think their is endless choices and thus they can be 💯 x 💯 as picky.
