If you thought being unattractive and old made dating difficult, you have no idea how hard it is to be a lingerie model about to turn 26.

Those are the two strikes English underwear model Lucy Harold says she's up against when looking for a man.

“I’m single and approaching the dreaded 26!" the UK stunner told the Birmingham Mail. “It is difficult. Perhaps men feel a little intimidated by me, but the reality is that I’m just a down to earth person."

Indeed.

Not one to wallow in self-pity, Harold is launching a dating site in her native Birmingham to help her overcome her dating handicaps.

"Years ago dating agencies were seen as a desperate thing to do, but now, with people living such busy lives, it’s becoming the norm," she said.

And Harold points out that she doesn't just own the site, she's also a card-carrying member.

“I’m looking for love myself,” she said.

Good luck!
