"Similarly, most men fell outside her stated preferred age range of 35-47 years old men (the News Group said that the online applicants were aged from 19 to 78), and also per the News Group, many of the photos submitted were clearly generated by AI. So how much action has this billboard campaign generated? The News Group adds that Catalano's six-month billboard campaign has merely netted dates with nearly 10 men."
"But there has also been hate mail! Catalano describes having two full three-inch binders with mean messages saying things like, You're washed up, you have nothing to offer in addition to rape threats and death threats. It's a lot of getting called every name in the book bitch,' whore,' slut,' bimbo,' Catalano told the News Group. I was getting called an 'empty egg carton' because I'm 42 years old and expressing my desire to start a family."
Lisa Catalano launched a 'Marry Lisa' billboard campaign along Silicon Valley's US-101 six months ago to find a husband. She received roughly 4,000 applications from worldwide suitors. Most applicants were ineligible because they did not live in the Bay Area or fell outside her preferred 35–47 age range; many submitted photos appeared to be AI-generated. The campaign produced nearly ten dates, including a recent Valentine's Day dinner-and-movie. She requires nondisclosure agreements for dates. She has received extensive hate mail, rape and death threats, and derogatory messages, which she documents in binders.
