Dude lists himself for sale on Facebook Marketplace in bid to find a girlfriend

A dude from Northampton was so desperate to find a girlfriend that he listed himself on Facebook Marketplace. If you don’t know market place, it’s where people sell their unwanted crap.

 

30-year-old Alan Clayton, listed himself as “free” and in “good condition” on the items for sale page and has already been on one date through the site, although it turned out to be a failure. Here’s what Alan has to say: 
 

I’ve tried conventional apps like Tinder and Plenty of Fish but nothing has really happened so I went to sign up to e-Harmony. They asked me lots of questions and I suddenly thought ‘why don’t I just advertise myself online on a bargain adverts page.’ I could only go two ways – people taking the mickey or finding someone.

So far the response has been amazing. I was up past midnight reading all of the messages of support from people. I’ve had women show some interest but it has not really led to anything. I’ve been on one date so far as a result but that didn’t work out unfortunately so I’m still very much on the market and it’s still relatively early days.

 
Alan’s ad lists himself as a “Manchester United fan looking for somebody who is funny, outgoing and independent with a bubbly personality”. He also says he’s “not fussy as long as she’s fun to be around” so that’s good. Every woman wants a dude who’s so desperate for a girlfriend he’ll literally date anything. Form an orderly queue, ladies!

I was wondering if that was a typo but nope, that dude is in fact YOUNGER than me!!! Horrifying. He looks like an 'Alan' too
