Man Is Looking For A Wife In 1865 And His Newspaper Ad Will Make You Want To Marry Him Now

A love match over 152 years in the making.

Newspaper Ad From 1865 Reveals What A Man With ‘A Good Set Of Teeth’ Is Looking For In A Wife

Elite Daily

Dating is literally the worst, right?

Netflix

The apps, the money, the awkwardness, the profile pics, and OMG, the bios?!?

And, look, I get it. It’s not easy to write a “great” personal profile.

Tinder

Or even a halfway decent one, apparently.

But way the heck back in 1865, at least one dude had it all figured out. (His dating profile, that is. Not his love life — because apparently dating has been tough FOREVER.)

And, just so you know, this photo is of a random dude from 1865 – NOT the actual person who wrote the ad below.

In a post shared by Twitter user Max Roser, it turns out this gentleman caller placed the following personal ad back in 1865, and honestly?! It’s so pure and perfect.

Let’s break down some of the highlights, shall we?
