The worldwide preference for online dating meets an exceptional approach from Vera Dijkmans when she launched her boyfriend search through the internet. Vera Dijkmans put an open call on the online world for suitable boyfriend candidates when she transitioned to London at age 27 and established a dating experiment that shocked everyone.
The millions of followers on Vera’s social media platforms quickly reacted positively to her unusual dating announcement. The massive inflow of interested men sent thousands of messages to Vera in hopes of securing her love.
Many candidates found this opportunity too tempting but they received unexpected news about it. Through her rigorous selection methods Vera uncovered an astonishing fact about her potential suitors because too few applicants passed the demanding requirements she set forth.
When applying to this program interested parties needed to complete an extensive examination instead of submitting ordinary registration forms. She constructed 15 selective questions which intended to remove undesirable candidates while selecting gentlemen who shared her beliefs.
The application process evaluated both essential employment eligibility and more profound personality trait information. One of the key questions asked applicants to describe themselves in three adjectives—excluding anything “douchey.”
The extensive application submissions made Vera work through every candidate with extreme attention to select a suitable match. The outcomes from this evaluation process turned out differently than her expectations did.
Three men alone succeeded in passing the lengthy evaluation process that Vera performed on her 5,000 applications. The men received opportunities through dates to verify whether mutual engagement was possible.
None of the three male candidates who seemed promising at first demonstrated any compatibility for Vera. During her dating experience she met both men but she continues to stay unmarried at present.
The dating experience taught Vera to value her own worth while simultaneously establishing proper determining limits. She thinks current dating trends force women to accept inadequate men.
“Women need to have more respect for themselves and set clear boundaries with men,” she stated. “A man should take you on a proper date—like going out for dinner or doing an activity together.”
A well-planned date stands as a requirement for Vera. According to her advice women should reject spontaneous late-night meetings because these situations frequently reveal the lack of care and attention from potential partners.
“This is a hard rule of mine. She decided first dates must include special arrangements because inadequate proposals will convince her to pass on the date. “And he should bring you a gift, too.”
Vera wants romantic gestures above monetary worth since her past lovers have brought her extravagant gifts. Flowers as a little bouquet serves as an elegant way to demonstrate both admiration and respect according to her belief.
She strongly advocates for what she calls the “princess treatment.” According to her mindset women deserve only respect from men who understand the value of their time and dedicated work.
According to her the gesture does not need to be lavish but it indicates his values your company and time. “I want the princess treatment because that is what I deserve—and you do, too.”
Vera provided essential warning signs regarding relationships that women should identify in their partnerships. One of her strictest rules? No texting after 10 p.m.
He fails to show respect to you when he texts only after 10 p.m. so you must end your relationship with him immediately according to her advice. “If that happens, you should immediately cut him off.”
False promises combined with double standards and both poor hygiene and financial carelessness constitute dealbreakers for Vera in relationship situations. She urges women to uphold these “fundamental rules” in their relationships.
The unorthodox way she dates has resulted in two divergent opinions about her standards and her behavior towards dating. Professionals around her have started to show jealousy together with backlash toward her dating methods.
The family member who has continuously searched for a man herself ended all communication with Vera after reading her boyfriend application because she viewed it as disgraceful behavior.
Other women in her professional field oppose the way she conducts herself. Social media surveillance by a makeup artist revealed that her boyfriend followed Vera which led to the artist declining professional work with her.
Vera continues to stand by her principle that women should never abandon their standards when seeking a relationship. Her strategy remains empowering to her instead of being seen as unattainable.
The buzz surrounding her boyfriend hunting seems to have subsided and Vera unexpectedly discovered something vital. She has decided to postpone her dating search among the many potential suitors she received.
“I have also learned that getting attention from men is not the most important thing in life,” she admitted. The potential partner must fulfill my requirements because I prefer to stay single until I discover my perfect match.
Through her strong standards and personal dignity Vera Dijkmans sets a new standard for modern dating by breaking one dating boundary after another.
