Neil posted the classified ad in the NZ Herald son on Wednesday and Thursday. Source: FacebookHe described the boys as 'handsome' but 'alas unmarried'.
Three American brothers have had their single status announced across the entire globe, after their dad placed a dating ad for not one, but all three of them in a New Zealand paper this week.
Neil, from Oregon, placed the ad in the NZ Herald looking for “nice NZ daughters”.
He is hoping to set the boys up on blind dates with Kiwi women — except the boys have no idea and will no doubt be in for one very big surprise when they land in the country next week.
The hilarious ad reads:
“Hello Parents. We are from the States (Oregon), visiting your beautiful country. My wife and I have three wonderful, successful, handsome, alas unmarried, sons between the ages of 28-32,” the ad read.
“We are not expecting, just hoping, to introduce our sons to nice NZ daughters. At the very least we’ll embarrass our sons and the truth is, we do find some enjoyment in that.”
Neil told the Herald all he wants for his sons is to meet people while travelling.
“We like to travel and I have gone with my kids to Europe, Australia and Japan, but we have never really interacted with anybody and in my mind I was just interested in them getting to know people, meeting people their age, and maybe develop some lasting, permanent relationships,” he said.
“I have never done anything like this before and they don’t know. They are clueless, which I love.”
Neil told the publication he had received more than 200 responses to the ad, and was basing his replies on sincerity.
“I’m somewhat surprised that I have got quite a lot of responses,” he said.
“It is hard to tell how many are genuine. A few are maybe just scammers but for the most part people are really amazingly nice in your country.”
Take your pick, ladies. The brothers have no idea about the ad their dad placed in the paper.Neil didn’t hold back in providing details about his sons’ relationship status’, even exposing that one hasn’t been in a “serious relationship for a while”.
“I know one of my sons uses these dating sites and is always going on introductory dates and meeting somebody, but he hasn’t had a serious relationship in quite a while,” Neil told the publication.
“I decided to help. I have no idea what will happen, but at least we will be able to meet some people.”
Well we hope this is the start of three beautiful romances!
