+ Amou Haji, 80, chose this way of life after some 'emotional setbacks'
+ The 80-year-old now lives in a hole near a village in southern Iran
+ He doesn't wash, because he believes being clean will make him sick
He's single and he's looking for love.
But, to win his heart, you'd have to accept his rather unconventional lifestyle.
Amou
Haji has not washed for 60 years, because he believes being clean will
make him sick, and his favourite food is rotten porcupine.
To relax he likes to sit down and have a smoke, from a pipe packed with animal faeces.
Mr
Haji, 80, says he chose this way of life after going through some
emotional setbacks in his youth and since then - perhaps unsurprisingly -
he has become a bit isolated.
His
home is in Dejgah village in the southern province of Fars in Iran
where, once, a group of young men offered to give him a shower - but
luckily he managed to escape.
At
night he either sleeps in a hole in the ground, which is quite like a
grave, or in an open brick shack which concerned locals built for him.
As
well as cleanliness, Mr Haji also has an aversion to clean food and
drink. He much prefers the rotten meat of dead animals and five litres
of water a day from a rusty oil can.
But
don't think Mr Haji doesn't look after himself - when he wants to look
his best he uses car mirrors for grooming, The Tehran Times reported.
And, when he needs a haircut, he simply burns his locks in a fire.
As for clothing, he wears rags and, in the winter, a war helmet to ward off the cold .
The
last record of longest time going without showers belonged to a
66-year-old Indian man, Kailash Singh, who had not taken a bath over 38
years
Mr Haji claims to have beaten that.
