We all have a list of traits we’d prefer in a potential partner, but hopefully not one as long as this.
A horrifying list of demands has gone viral after being discovered and uploaded to a Reddit forum, with people heavily criticising the creepy and down-right bizarre preferences.
Though it’s not known who wrote the list, it’s clear that the ‘incel’ man wants a Barbie doll instead of a living, breathing girlfriend.

Initially uploaded to the r/ChoosingBeggars forum, the misogynistic list is called ‘10 Rules for my gf's' with the person who penned it having some insanely unrealistic standards.
Rather ironically though, the unknown man doesn’t hold himself to the same criteria as his perfect match and gives 21 traits he wants.
If that weren’t a big enough ick already, the list is pretty much nightmare fuel as it focuses on his ideal woman’s appearance and her ability to be controlled (Yes, you read that right).
For those of you brave enough to scrape the bottom of the dating barrel, you must be ‘5'6 or below’, avoid wearing leggings and have ‘blue/green eyes’ – anyone else need not apply.
You’ll also be expected to dress, as well as dye your hair and paint your nails to suit your macho man’s mood. (Yikes!)
If that weren’t a big enough red flag, this prospective prince charming is also looking for someone who ‘isn’t too confident or self-secure’ and can ‘follow basic instructions’.
However, he’s not controlling, of course, as you are allowed to have disagreements – you just won’t be able to talk back is all.
And as you settle into your blissful life together, you’ll be expected to provide him with five sons. (Because we can totally control that!)
Unsurprisingly, the internet has been roasting the guy and labelling him an ‘incel’ online.
Reacting to the shocking wishlist on Reddit, one user wrote: “This dude really has this list of demands, but he can't even count to 10.”
Others were more taken aback by the insane biological demands, with one asking: “You think this dork has any idea how reproductive biology works.”
Another commented: “My favourite bit of this is ‘will give me 5 sons’. Henry VIII blamed his wives too. The sex of the child comes from the bloke.”
Meanwhile, a third made a frightening comparison to a beloved TV show.
They said: “This is the type of person who watches The Handmaids Tale and thinks Gilead is the ideal society.”
However, one Redditor seemed to sum it up best and wrote: “I'm just glad no woman fits the bill. We're all spared.”
We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
