Karolina Geits, 29, said the sign started as a joke after dating apps didn't work for her
A woman has made waves on social media after she posted a video of herself walking around the streets of New York City with a sign that said, "Looking for a husband."
Karolina Geits is a 29-year-old living in New York City who recently went through the streets holding the self-made, cardboard sign signifying her wishes.
Geits told Fox News Digital on Tuesday the idea for the sign was originally a joke between her and her friends.
"We had a discussion with friends that dating apps [were] not working because it takes a long time to chat," she said.
"As a joke, I said that I’ll go outside with a sign."

The next day, she did just that.
She took a cardboard box she received in the mail, ripped off a piece of it, wrote the words, "Looking for a husband" — and took to the streets, she said.

The influencer and model said it was funny to her to see the response from people passing by.
She said she was shocked by how many supported the action.
"I didn’t expect such a reaction," she said. "People began to support me."
Geits said people were sending her their dating profiles for potential review — although she said she’s still looking for "the best."
