OAKLAND, Calif. - Lisa Catalano is taking a rather unconventional avenue as she hopes to look for love in all the right places.
The 42-year-old Bay Area woman this month put up billboards along Highway 101 stretching from Santa Clara to South San Francisco as part of her campaign to find her future husband.
The billboards have a photo of the smiling brunette with the words "
MarryLisa.com," and the objective of this campaign is just that — to find love and get married.
Potential suitors or folks who are just curious about this woman can check out her website, which she carefully curated to include details about herself, endorsements from friends and family, specifics on what she’s looking for in "Mr. Right," and an application to fill out, though she urged possible candidates to first check and see if the two would be compatible.
"I really can't stress this enough that the men who are filling out these applications should maybe read first a little bit about me and not just go off of the photo and the fact I'm looking for a husband," Catalano shared with KTVU on Friday.
She said a big component of her method is transparency.
"I strive for transparency with what I'm putting out there about who I am and what I'm looking for," Catalano said, adding, "because I don't want to lead anybody on, misrepresent anything and so I would encourage people to read."
About Lisa
On her website, what readers will find are facts like her physical attributes: She’s 5 foot 5.5 inches tall, 130 pounds, with a 36C bust size, and she hasn't had any cosmetic procedures; personality traits: She has a great sense of humor, she’s active, artistic and creative; her favorite baseball team: She’s a Giants fan; her likes and dislikes: She loves cats, enjoys wine and an occasional cocktail, but does not do tobacco, marijuana, or drugs; she’s self-employed, and when it comes to politics, she describes herself as democrat/liberal.
One thing she’s very open and honest about is her primary objective and hopes: "Wants marriage and kids within the next 2-3 years with the right man!" shared on her website.
What is Lisa looking for?
Beyond that, she also listed other non-negotiables: Her future husband should be college-educated, lead a healthy lifestyle, not a smoker or someone who partakes in drugs, has good hygiene, is politically aligned with her, does not have a criminal record and is "not particularly religious."
Preferences with ‘flexibility’
She also detailed areas where there is some wiggle room, including the target age of 35-45, which she said she can be flexible within a year or two at most. She would also prefer, though not set in stone, the man she ends up with has never been married and doesn't have any kids.
Catalano also prefers her future husband to live in the Bay Area.
She should try bus stop benches, the sides of buses, and insides of buses and subway cars.....She should also tone down the crazy eyes.
Think of all the nice guys that "weren't her type," or those who she passed over to go and "find herself" over the last 20+ years?
I'll bet her mommy told her to go to college and get a degree before worrying about a man. Then get her career started before worrying about a man. And then all the girls' nights out where they reassured one another that they didn't need a man!
And yet here she is, desperately advertising her worth for a man to take notice.
I don't know if it's the quintessential "modern woman" or just sad.
It's good that she loves cats.
