I guess you really can find love in a hopeless place, as one New Yorker has proved just that (I use the term "love" loosely here).
Remember this guy? If not, let's refresh your memory.
This past summer, 51-year-old Dan Perino made the NYC streets his own personal dating site by plastering more than 40,000 flyers of himself with his contact info and a short bio that read, "Looking for a Girlfriend."
Now more than six months later, it sounds like his creepy dating advertisements have finally paid off-- in more ways than ever imaginable.
Since his postings, he's scored a countless number of dates and has been laid more than 118 times.
"It’s been going great," he said. "I’ve had... hook-ups with 118 girls, but the dating is a lot more than that," he told news.com.au. Along with the stamp of now being recognized as a "local-celeb," it turns out that Perino has also evolved into a complete douche.
Became a celebrity over night Google my name Dan perino. Most of my ex girlfriends are getting in touch with me now begging for a date. — daniel perino (@danperinonyc) March 3, 2015And if you're hoping to catch a hot date with Mr. Perino, you must be forewarned: he now only dates models.
"I've been seeing models," he told Vice. "I like models a whole lot better than a cute, short blonde. I dunno, maybe I should put on the flyer that I'm only dating models now."
As he leaves us all scratching our heads, I don't know if we should feel shocked or comforted in the fact that this just further proves there's hope for singles folks of all breeds out in NYC.
I couldn't get laid back in high school. So to the girls I wanted to hook up with then are coming out of the woodwork. No you are to old.— daniel perino (@danperinonyc) March 3, 2015
