A man has taken an unconventional approach after being tired of his inability to get a wife.
The desperate man identified as Mohammed Malik flooded giant billboards in Birmingham, UK with a picture of himself, a move that cost him thousands of dollars.

In one of the 20ft billboards shared by @dailystar on Instagram, the man is seen lying on his side pointing upwards with a big smile and a copy that reads:
"Save me from an arranged marriage."
Metro reports that the innovation consultant and entrepreneur also set up a website called ‘findmalikawife.com’ which carries details of his love-searching journey.
In the defense of his approach, the 29-year-old said it became necessary in order to be seen as he had tried conventional methods to no avail.
He is open to ladies from any ethnicity
Speaking on his specification, Mohammed said:
‘'My ideal partner would be a Muslim woman in her 20s, who’s striving to better her deen [effectively religion, judgment, and custom].
'‘I’m open to any ethnicity, but I’ve got a loud Punjabi family – so you’d need to keep with the bants.
‘'Always personality and faith over anything else.
'‘P.S I’m an only child and look after my mom and dad. If this is a deal-breaker I don’t think it’ll work out.’'
The only child added that he is:
''...Slim and 5ft 8ins tall, is from London but calls Birmingham his ‘second home’ thanks to the ‘top quality food spots in the city centre, bustling Alum Rock and the incredible mosques.’'
Social media reacts

4 times bold ladies' public proposal to men ended in tears, one slapped her bf
Speaking of seeking marriage, Briefly News previously reported that while some ladies have recorded successes at shooting their shots at men on social media, the reversal has been the same for the bold ones who made public proposals to their male partners.

Behind any successful or failed public proposal are days or probably weeks of planning, hence the overwhelming emotions that overcome the 'proposer' when they get a yes.
In all the ladies who have seen their public proposals thrown into their faces, one feeling is common - the rushing feeling of embarrassment and probably a silent prayer for the ground to cave in and swallow them.
