I sent an email. We'll see what happens.
Edit: I received the following response:

Immediately after opening the email, I received the following text message:

How can one be chronologically disappointed? Did you mean "chronically"?
Travelled back in time and the past is shite.
The person may wish to be disappointed one disappointed at the time and would be disappointed to have disappointing flashbacks to previous disappointments. This person wishes to be disappointed by the disappointments in chronological order.
I don't know if this makes any sense but at least I learnt to spell disappointed
Can she be Polish but live in Canada?
I feel like posting a picture of what you want is kinda vain, shouldn't they just have a headshot on the flyer? It's not like this can get any more embarrassing.
The flyer does no good if nobody looks at it.
The pic is clearly Danny Phantom "fan" "art".
I was thinking more Fairly Oddparents, but same artist.
Maybe that's what she looks like.
If anyone who looks like that is single and desperate enough to be posting flyers, they should try sliding into my DMs. They'll find love much quicker there.
Honestly, this takes more effort and is more creative than making a profile on a dating app.
It is also pretty honest.
... I don't think this is likely to actually work, due to the obvious red flags, but it is probably more likely to actually work than doing this same thing on an app.
A note about dating apps: most of them aren't better than this. Their interest is keeping the user clicking, paying for services and coming back. If you find the right person for yourself, you will do none of that. So they:
- build awful card stack systems with no search function
- build superficial profile systems with no metadata about personality, habits or world views
...and of course, with such systems, people fail to find suitable partners. They come back and pay, but society suffers, because someone needs to make money.
I would vote for a politician who would promise that the ministry of health and social security will order a publicly funded dating site that's built by scientists, with data privacy managed by the leading university in the country.
You want increased birthrate? This is step 1.
Of course I think that if Musk controlled a government dating site, it wouldn't show white people any non-white matches. And wouldn't support anything except two person, male/female relationships.
That went from funny to sad real quick

Meh, weak sauce. I'd settle for part time.
