New York woman walks down the street with a ‘looking-for-a-husband’ sign — sparking plenty of conversation
Karolina Geits, 29, said the sign started as a joke after dating apps didn't work for her
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A woman has made waves on social media after she posted a video of herself walking around the streets of New York City with a sign that said, "Looking for a husband."
Karolina Geits is a 29-year-old living in New York City who recently went through the streets holding the self-made, cardboard sign signifying her wishes.
Geits told Fox News Digital on Tuesday the idea for the sign was originally a joke between her and her friends.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"We had a discussion with friends that dating apps [were] not working because it takes a long time to chat," she said.
"As a joke, I said that I’ll go outside with a sign."

The next day, she did just that.
She took a cardboard box she received in the mail, ripped off a piece of it, wrote the words, "Looking for a husband" — and took to the streets, she said.
