She’s not looking for Mr. Right. She’s looking for Mr. Money Bags.
A woman’s sky-high checklist for a future hubby has gone viral after a man she matched with on Hinge shared her eyebrow-raising demands, which included a $300,000 salary, luxury tastes, chivalry and handling all birth control.
Her shocked suitor took to Reddit to share a screenshot of their conversation, asking the woman, “I just read your profile. Tell me about the checklist.”
She responded with a cryptic, “Wanna see it?”
“Of course I do!” the man said.
Then came the PDF-worthy manifesto, titled “Bare Minimum for a Husband.”
It included 18 non-negotiables, ranging from the swoon-worthy to the straight-up bougie:
- “Loves me deeply and puts me first”
- “Financially successful (300k+ salary)”
- “Generous and spoils me”
- “Sophisticated and enjoys luxury”
- “Emotionally intelligent and confident”
- “Chivalrous and protective”
- “Ambitious and disciplined”
- “Family-oriented and well-connected”
- “Fit, attractive, and well-groomed”
- “Takes control and makes plans”
- “Keeps his word and values trust”
- “Supports my goals and lifestyle”
- “Fun, outgoing, and socially respected”
- “Prefers privacy over social media validation”
- “Loves traveling and fine dining”
- “Sexually disciplined and loyal”
- “Handles pregnancy prevention (no hormones for me)”
- “Makes life easier (maid, chef, etc.)”
Commenters were quick to clock the irony.
“Send the list back to her and ‘watch her get mad at you for demanding so much of her,’” one Redditor snarked.
To which the original poster replied, “Actually that’s exactly what I did. She proceeded to tell me that she makes less than $10K a year as a part-time personal trainer.”
He added, “I then invited [her] to my place for some casual fun and told her to bring wine. She unmatched me.”
Reddit sleuths crunched the numbers and confirmed the odds are not in her favor.
“I did a vague search and saw that 2.3 percent of all men (I assume American men?) make over $300K a year,” one user noted.
“That doesn’t even break down how many of those men are even available/single.”
To be fair, the woman knows what she wants — confidence, consistency, caviar, maybe — and there’s no crime in dreaming big.
But when your income hovers around five figures and your expectations hit seven?
That’s not just a wishlist — it’s a plotline from The Real Housewives of Delusion.
Sure, the list is long — but if he’s out there, hopefully he comes bearing wine, W-2s and a willingness to do the dishes.
