Desperate times call for even more desperate measures. But what if talking to a brick wall was actually a vehicle for finding love all along? That's what is quite literally happening in a Brooklyn park, where singles are posting pictures of themselves in the hopes of finding their next big love.
The participating singles then get two photos taken on a polaroid, and one of them is posted on the singles wall while the other is theirs to keep as a memory.
Although the trend is a novelty in New York, there's other parts of the world where these sort of dating endeavors are common practice. In Shanghai, for example, the People's Park in the center of the city has a " Marriage Market " where parents and grandparents display their single children and grandchildren in the hopes of finding them reliable suitors. You can check out Williamsburg's singles wall every Saturday and Sunday from noon until 8pm and is located across the park's tennis courts.
Indeed, desperate times call for even more desperate measures, but once you find your match, it'll all have been worth it. Been there, done that? Think again, my friend. About us. Contact us.
