67% of Singles Surveyed Report Dating Twice a Year or Less

Sally Gray’s serial dating acts as a guide for singletons in How To Find A Husband Premiering April 23 on Slice™


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TORONTO – April 3, 2008 – Join SliceTM for a good dose of husband hunting. How To Find A Husband, a new series premiering Wed. April 23 at 9pm ET/PT, follows 37-year-old television presenter Sally Gray as she embarks on a personal journey – to find herself her Mr. Right. A recently commissioned survey amongst SliceTM panelists determined that 67% of singles surveyed report dating twice a year or less.* In How To Find A Husband, Gray challenges herself to go on 70 dates in 50 days in an effort to find that special someone.

“Seventy dates in 50 days is ambitious by most singleton standards but I wanted to, and definitely did, put my heart on the line,� says Sally Gray. “This was a real life experiment where I road tested lots of different types of men with dates ranging from amazing to downright disturbing.�

Throughout this 10-part one-hour series, Sally Gray promises to leave no man un-checked, exhausting all options she can come up with in an effort to find the right guy. From online and speed dating to soliciting the advice of a dating doctor and a visit to a psychic, Sally is willing to try anything and everything, even allowing her mother to set her up on a date. When asked how far they’d go to find that special someone, SliceTM panelists reported to be just as likely to enlist the services of a psychic to help them find their ideal partner as they are to allow their parents to set them up.

Is Sally Gray’s Mr. Right out there and does she find him? Tune in Wednesdays at 9pm ET/PT beginning April 23 to find out.

*National survey of 632 Slice Panelists developed by Strategic Counsel for Slice TM. Results are accurate within +/- 3.9 percentage points 19 times out of 20.
