A man who played the numbers game when trying to find women on Facebook failed dramatically, as he apparently got rejected 5,000 times.
Serbian Predrag Jovanovic had employed the strategy in the hopes of meeting a partner but was disappointed when most of the people he contacted didn't reply.
The 34-year-old said that he got only 15 responses and all of them politely refused to be his girlfriend, while the rest of them simply ignored him, Metro.co.uk reported.
Jovanovic vowed to continue his quest to find a woman online because he said he had little choice as women in his town near Belgrade were either married or grandmothers.
The lonely Serb also admitted he was shy and found speaking to the opposite sex through the internet easier.
