A 78-year-old dad just placed the most cringeworthy dating ad for his single son
The picky parent rules out tall women and anyone who voted for Obama
YOU know your love life has hit rock bottom when your own DAD is forced to interfere.
Wanting his son to settle down, 78-year-old Arthur Brooks paid around £675 for a full-page dating advertisement.
Writing on behalf of bachelor Baron Brooks, 48, Arthur cringe-worthingly reveals that his son would like “to have children as soon as possible”.
It seems that Arthur has some pretty strict guidelines when it comes to who his single son dates.
It’s no surprise that it’s been difficult for Baron to bag a girlfriend when you look at the picky criteria laid out in the dating advertisement.
First, Arthur admits that his son is just 5’5’’ in height, claiming: “if you are 5’8’’ and like to wear high heels then it may not work”.
There's no doubt that similar values are also important to the meddling dad, who insists: “You must be politically conservative… If you voted for Obama or plan to vote for Hillary you are not for me.”
His requirements don’t stop there, as the advert insists that the woman would have to become a “stay at home mum” if they ever had children.
If that wasn’t enough to put any prospective love-matches off, the dad then reveals that he will be vetting each and every one of his son’s dates.
The proud pensioner asked interested singletons to submit a photo and one page description of themselves, before he’ll allow them to be ‘interviewed’.
"I thought it was a joke at first."
