REVEALED: Mackay's most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes

VALENTINES Day - it's a tricky one. Some are expressing their love for each other through affection and gifts, and others are wallowing in a sad state of self-pity with their pets, a wine bottle and a big mac.

If you're a bachelor living in Mackay, the so-called town with the worst women drought in Queensland, then you've probably used that excuse to reassure yourself it's why there's never any women by your side.

If you're a bachelorette living in Mackay, you've probably searched far and wide from the depths of Cartel to the pits of the deep, dark web asking yourself where on earth all these men congregate.

For Mackay woman Leanne Hackling, 52, it hits home all too well -- having been single for eight years.

While you won't catch her on the dance floor at Cartel, she said she hunts far and wide for a man her age.

She's tried Plenty Of Fish, she's tried the library and she's always on the look out at Coles.

"You never know in a supermarket," she giggled.

"I'm hoping a nice guy wants some advice on what vegetables to buy one day."

She said she's extremely shy and puts herself down a lot for having curves, but she's holding onto hope there's a nice bloke out there for her.

Leanne doesn't care what he looks like, as long as he's honest, genuine and trustworthy.

"It doesn't matter if he's got a different language other than English. It doesn't matter. As long as I can understand him it's all good," she assured.

She hopes Mr Right has the same interests as her which include gardening, going to the markets, op shopping and cooking sausage rolls.

Leanne said there's no pressure, but her dream date would be swimming with the dolphins together at Monkey Mia in Western Australia.

She said she's happy to give the young ones a run for their money, but if Mr Right "doesn't jump out of the rose bushes" she's quite happy to spend Valentines Day "home alone watching Married At First Sight on the telly".

Well ladies and gentlemen, the time has come.

If you've had it swiping through the entire population on Tinder, you're sick of your mum asking when grandchildren are on the way and you don't want to spend Valentines Day watching 50 Shades of Grey alone in the cinema, we've got your back.

We've compiled a list of some of the most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes for your choosing.
