Well, that's one way to do it. Alan Clayton, 30, hadn't been having any luck on dating sites, so he described himself as “free” and in “good condition” on the items for sale page on Facebook. According to Clayton:
"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.”
