A lonely bachelor has forked out hundreds of pounds on several giant billboards advertising HIMSELF in a desperate attempt to find a wife. <br /><br />Single Mohammad Malik, 29, has set up a website in his unusual quest for love and has plastered his picture on several advertising hoardings across Birmingham. <br /><br />It features a 20ft (6m) photo of him lying down flashing a cheeky grin for the camera and joking: "Save me from an arranged marriage".<br /><br />The massive advert - which appears on at least three billboards across the city - direct suitors to his website: Findmailkawife.com.<br /><br />Mohammad, a Muslim who works as an innovation consultant and entrepreneur, says in a video on his page: "Hi, I'm Malik. You may have seen my face on a billboard somewhere. <br /><br />"I'm 29, live in la vida London. I'm an entrepreneur and a foodie and I'm religious. I am looking for someone who is working on her deen [Arabic word meaning religion].<br /><br />"I am open to any ethnicity but come from a loud Punjabi family, so the banter has to be 100. <br /><br />"If you're interested, fill out the form and check out my details."<br /><br />Explaining his reason to go to such drastic measures to find Mrs Right, Mohammad explained: "I just haven't found the right girl yet. It's tough out there. <br /><br />"I had to get a billboard to get seen.<br /><br />"My ideal partner would be a Muslim woman in her 20s, who's striving to better her deen. <br /><br />"I'm open to any ethnicity but I've got a loud Punjabi family - so you'd need to keep with the bants.<br /><br />"Always personality and faith over anything else.<br /><br />"I'm an only child and look after my mom and dad. If this is a deal-breaker I don't think it'll work out."<br /><br />Mohammad's profile describes him as a "29-year-old Muslim guy living in London" and that he is slim and 5ft 8ins tall.<br /><br />He is from London but says he considers Birmingham his second home due to its great mosques and top quality food.<br /><br />He added: "I'm blessed because I can combine my passions for Islam and entrepreneurship in what I do for a living.<br /><br />"I love food, good bants, and I know it sounds cheesy - but learning more about my own faith."<br /><br />Mohammad also stressed his search for love is not a joke and that he is not against arranged marriages.<br /><br />He added: "I think arranged marriages have a place and tradition in many Islamic cultures. <br /><br />"In fact, there are many studies that show that arranged marriages have many advantages.<br /><br />"I just want to try and find someone on my own first."<br /><br />He says he's had more than ten replies since he took out the advertisements, which can be found in Perry Barr, Sparkbrook and Hockley.
