Influencer Vera Dijkmans, based in London, recently made headlines for her unique approach to finding a boyfriend. With over seven million followers on social media, the Dutch model devised a 15-question quiz to screen potential suitors. The quiz, aimed at filtering out those who did not meet her high standards, received 5,000 responses from single men. However, after careful consideration, only three candidates were deemed suitable, but none led to a lasting connection.
Despite the lack of romantic success, Dijkmans viewed the experiment as beneficial because it allowed her to clearly communicate her expectations and identify men who met her criteria. Some of the more unusual responses she received included a man offering to send her a sample of his blood and another who, despite not having a car, owned two boats.
The questions on her quiz were designed to gauge various aspects of the applicants’ lives and personalities, ranging from their astrological sign and relationship history to their job status and preferences in music and entertainment. The quiz also included questions about their living arrangements, values, and future aspirations.
Here are some of the questions from Dijkmans’ quiz:
- What is your astrological sign?
- How many ex-girlfriends do you have, and how many of them are “crazy”? Do you still talk to any of them?
- Do you have kids, and do you want any?
- Are you currently married or dating someone?
- Do you have a full-time job?
- Would you describe yourself with the adjective “douchey”?
- Do you live with your parents?
- Do you own a working car?
- Do you have a Twitter account?
- Do you currently have a “booty call”?
- If we lived together, would I get the walk-in closet?
- Is it acceptable to hit on my friends?
- Do you like watching Avatar: The Last Airbender?
- Who is the best artist: The Weeknd, Future, Drake, or Travis Scott?
Though Dijkmans remains single, she emphasizes the importance of not compromising on her standards and is keeping her options open, even if it means taking a break from actively seeking a boyfriend for now. She has also decided against conducting another round of applications on social media, focusing instead on meeting someone who aligns perfectly with her expectations.
