Zoe Fitter from the UK was tired of kissing men she thought could be Prince Charming and then watching them turn into slimy frogs, so she came up with an ingenious plan. She is going to celebrate her 35th birthday with a party where prospective boyfriends are invited. There, they will be vetted not just by Zoe but by her family and friends as well. She says they will be a better judge than herself. She said, "I have an incredible knack of picking the wrong type of guy. If picking unsuitable boyfriends was an Olympic sport, I'd be a gold medalist."
So if you live near Zoe and are interested in meeting this bubbly soul, the party is at Churchill's Bar, in Tylers Avenue, Southend, on Friday October 17. Zoe added, "If you’re between 30 and 40, more than 5'6" tall, honest, trustworthy and genuine, with a good personality, why not come down and talk to my friends and family?"
Anyone game?
