A single woman has earned a spot in the viral hall of fame after announcing her desire to find a rich husband over an airplane loudspeaker.
Karolina Geits was aboard a flight from Miami to New York when she had the brilliant idea to call potential candidates – and decided to enlist the help of a flight attendant to help her carry out her somewhat brazen plan.
The 29-year-old admits she’s not a fan of dating apps as she prefers meeting people in person, and decided a plane a mile high was as good a place to look for a potential love match.
So after noticing the seat next to her was empty, Karolina took the opportunity to find her next boyfriend.
