In an unconventional quest for love, a California woman has launched a billboard campaign that has attracted a wave of suitors, with some even reaching out from as far as Brazil. The campaign aims to help her find her ideal partner.

Lisa Catalano, the mastermind behind the “Marry Lisa” billboards that have recently appeared along Highway 101 in the Bay Area, shared her journey in an interview with Nexstar’s KRON. She explained her motivation, saying, “I just want to meet somebody, and I wasn’t having any success through other methods.”

The billboards, strategically positioned between Santa Clara and San Francisco, have sparked curiosity and interest. Catalano reported receiving over 3,800 applications from hopefuls between September 24 and October 15, according to her statement to NewsNation.

Despite the overwhelming response, Catalano faces a challenge: many applicants are not seeking marriage or children, priorities she considers crucial in a relationship.

On her website, marrylisa.com, Catalano has outlined her criteria for a potential partner, specifying she is looking for someone in their 30s to 50s. However, many of the applicants fall outside this age range, being in their 20s, 60s, or 70s, which is not suitable for her.

On her website, marrylisa.com, Catalano has been very specific about the kind of man she’s looking for: someone between their 30s and 50s in age. Unfortunately, she said a lot of the men who are applying are in their 20s, 60s, or 70s, which is another dealbreaker for her.

Catalano was previously engaged to a long-term boyfriend, but tragedy struck when he passed away from a terminal illness in late 2023.

Catalano shared recent analytics for her website with KRON. On a single day, she received over 27,000 unique visitors to marrylisa.com and over 127,000 page views. All that interest, she said, has led to about 350 applications from eligible men who meet her criteria.

At last report, she’s still working her way through reviewing their applications.

“I hope that this is a great story that we can tell our future children,” she said.
