**Dating in the digital age has certainly taken a turn for the unconventional, with more people resorting to bizarre methods to find true love.**
**Take Vera Dijkmans, a social media influencer who recently made headlines for her unique approach to dating.**
**Instead of swiping through endless profiles on dating apps, Dijkmans devised a 15-question quiz to vet her potential suitors.**
**The results were nothing short of astonishing: 5,000 men applied, but Dijkmans is still single.**
**”I’d say I received around 5,000 applications, but after going through most of them, I found just three guys who I thought were suitable,” Dijkmans revealed.**
**Living in London and boasting over seven million followers across her social media platforms, the Dutch model’s dating experiment captivated thousands.**
**Despite going on dates with the three finalists, none managed to form a lasting connection with her.**
**”I went on a date with them – but I’m currently still single,” she added.**
**For Dijkmans, the experiment was more about quality than quantity.**
**”Despite this disappointing result, I still consider the experiment a success since I was able to be upfront about what I want and see which men fit that criteria,” she explained.**
**You might wonder how 5,000 single men could be narrowed down to just three potential dates.**
**The quiz, designed to filter out unsuitable candidates, yielded some bizarre responses.**
**”One man offered to send me a sample of his blood and asked for mine in return – which I ignored,” Dijkmans said.**
**She also mentioned that a famous person slid into her DMs, though she didn’t disclose their identity.**
**Interestingly, most of the applicants were based in Texas and had the star sign of Aquarius.**
**As for the questions in the quiz, they were far from ordinary.**
**Applicants were asked about their astrological sign, the number of ex-girlfriends, and if they still talked to any of them.**
**Other questions included whether they had kids or wanted them, if they were married or dating someone, and if they had a full-time job.**
**One quirky question asked if one of three adjectives to describe themselves would be ‘douchey’.**
**Applicants were also quizzed on their living arrangements, car ownership, and social media habits.**
**”Do you currently have a booty call?” and “Is it acceptable to hit on my friends?” were among the more provocative questions.**
**Then came the pop culture queries: “Do you like watching Avatar (ATLA)?” and “Who is the best artist: The Weeknd, Future, Drake or Travis Scott?”**
**The responses were a mixed bag.**
**One applicant revealed he lived with his parents and didn’t own a car but boasted two boats.**
**Another man declared he would never hit on her friends, which should be a given.**
**A third boasted of having a full-time career but wouldn’t give her a bigger wardrobe.**
**Dijkmans’ dating journey has been anything but typical.**
Born and raised in the Netherlands, she moved to London to pursue a career in modeling and social media influencing.
**Her online presence quickly grew, amassing millions of followers drawn to her glamorous lifestyle and candid personality.**
**With a keen interest in astrology, pop culture, and maintaining high standards, she crafted the 15-question quiz to weed out those who didn’t meet her criteria.**
**Her strict screening process left her with few viable options, reflecting her refusal to settle for less than she deserves.**
**Dijkmans’ experiment highlights the modern-day challenges of finding genuine connections in a sea of digital interactions.**
**You may think that after rejecting thousands of men, Dijkmans is feeling disillusioned with the dating scene.**
**However, the model refuses to compromise on her standards.**
**”At the moment, I’ve put the boyfriend search on hold, but I’m keeping my options open,” she said.**
**She added that she wouldn’t hold another round of applications on social media.**
**”I’m just very picky, and I need a guy to be almost perfect,” she continued.**
**”I don’t think I should have to compromise on my needs – I’d rather be single until I find the man I’m meant to be with.”**
**Dijkmans’ story resonates with many who navigate the complexities of modern dating.**
**Her determination to find the right partner, even if it means being single for longer, is a testament to self-worth and high standards.**
**So, while her dating experiment didn’t end in a fairytale romance, it showcased the importance of knowing and sticking to one’s values.**
**In the ever-evolving landscape of love, Dijkmans’ story serves as a reminder that sometimes, it’s better to wait for the right person than to settle for the wrong one.**
**And who knows, maybe her perfect match is just around the corner – waiting to pass her next quiz.**
