In the modern dating world, where endless swiping on apps often leads to frustration, people are turning to unconventional methods to find true love.
One such person is Vera Dijkmans, who took a unique approach by having potential suitors complete a 15-question questionnaire to see if they met her high standards.
The influencer, from the Netherlands, received an overwhelming number of 5,000 requests from hopeful men eager to win her heart.
However, the model, who has 5.5 million followers on her Instagram account @veradijkmans, has revealed that she is still single after rejecting all men, despite dating the three best candidates selected through the questionnaire .
Vera Dijkmans, from the Netherlands, received an overwhelming 5,000 applications from hopeful men eager to win her heart after she posted a “boyfriend” questionnaire online.
speaking to Ladible, Dijkmans said: “I went on a date with them, but I’m currently single.” Despite this disappointing result, I still consider the experiment a success as I was able to be honest about what I want and see which men fit those criteria.’
The content creator had to examine numerous unusual applications, revealing how one candidate offered to send a sample of his blood and asked for hers in return, which was, of course, ignored.
Dijkmans also mentioned how an undisclosed famous person had slipped into his direct messages.
Interestingly, he discovered that a large percentage of applicants were from Texas and had the zodiac sign Aquarius.
Each of the questionnaire’s 15 questions was designed to reveal applicants’ lifestyles, values, and level of commitment.
They included whether the applicant was still living with his parents, had “crazy” ex-girlfriends, had a full-time job, or was currently on a “booty call.” Dijkmans also tested her morals and his loyalty by asking, “Is it acceptable to flirt with my friends?”
A variety of responses soon came in, with one applicant admitting that he lived with his parents and had no car, but boasted of owning two boats.
Another stated that he would never flirt with his friends, a basic expectation, while a third mentioned that he had a full-time career but that it wouldn’t give him a bigger wardrobe.
Despite turning down thousands of men and choosing three (the model described each of them as “suitable” but couldn’t connect with them), Dijkmans is not disillusioned with dating.

She said: “At the moment, I’ve put the boyfriend search on hold, but I’m keeping my options open,” she said, adding that she wouldn’t repeat the quiz on social media.
“I’m very demanding and I need a guy who is almost perfect.” I don’t think I should give in to my needs; I prefer to be single until I find the man I should be with.’
It comes after a single woman shared the reasons she turned to business networking site LinkedIn to find her soulmate on dating apps such as Bumble and Tinder.
Candice, who lives in Singapore, is challenging herself to log onto a dating app every week for 10 weeks in her quest to find a “grade A” partner and is documenting her journey online.
The 37-year-old has already tried Bumble, Hinge and Tinder without success, so she’s now turning her attention to LinkedIn, where she can filter by education level, profession and country.
