70-year-old Al Gilberti from Texas, U.S., is a man on a mission - he is looking for a partner he can enjoy marital bliss and karaoke with. Divorced with one child, Gilberti claims most of the calls he gets are from people only interested in how much money he has. Nevertheless, he remains optimistic about finding the partner of his dreams.

He is looking for these three qualities in his future partner: loyalty, honesty, and sincerity, which he considers 'non-negotiable,' according to a New York Times report. Not just that, he's even happy to relocate anywhere in the United States as long as the match fits. And if it means finding his soulmate, he's willing to move as far away as the United Kingdom.

Talking about the ad, Gilberti told NYT: ¡°The latest one went up on April 2nd and I¡¯ve gotten over 400 calls and maybe 40 or 50 emails in just over two weeks. I have the calls redirected to a friend¡¯s phone."

¡°It¡¯s been more enquiries from people that are looking to gain something from me ¡ª which I get, I¡¯d probably do the same! People were enquiring thinking I was someone rich to help with their bills," he revealed.

He admitted: ¡°I just want someone loyal, I want someone honest about themselves and someone sincere, that¡¯s going to be coming into something they really want to be in.¡±
