A post shared by an X user @Only_OneRR has gone viral after he shared an extensive checklist of qualities he wants in his future wife, triggering a heated debate on social media.
The list, which included requirements ranging from physical appearance to lifestyle choices and personal restrictions, drew widespread criticism, with many users describing the expectations as unrealistic, controlling and misogynistic.
According to the viral post, the user said he would only marry a woman who met every requirement on his checklist. The list included expectations related to appearance, lifestyle, personal choices and behaviour, leading to a heated debate online.
The post read:
“I will only marry a girl who is :
Virgin, Naturally beautiful (no makeup ever), 5’2 perfect height, 45 kg exact weight, Knows cooking of all cuisines, Non feminist, Doesn’t use social media, Has no male friends, Asks permission before going anywhere, Shares her live location 24×7, No past, Takes care of my parents like her own. Where would I find a girl like that? 😭”
The post quickly gained traction on the platform, attracting thousands of views and prompting users to weigh in with their opinions. While a few defended the user’s right to have personal preferences, many others criticised the list, arguing that several of the conditions reflected controlling behaviour rather than reasonable expectations in a relationship.
One user commented, “No girl wants a man as controlling, misogynistic and strict as you. Your expectations are extremely unrealistic and only push the narrative that women need to be perfect for men and submit to them, which they don’t. Sounds like you’re looking for a hostage instead of a girlfriend.”
Another wrote, “If girl starts asking just like him then every human will be single for life.”

A third user said, “You want to maid not wife 😭😭”
Another comment read, “then u will never get married be happy in your dreams in out side world there is more evil girls than boys these days mark my words.”
Mocking the post, one user joked, “She lives in Jupiter go nd find her.”
Another user wrote, “You aren’t looking for a wife; you are looking for a captive AI asset. Demanding a 45kg exact weight, 24/7 live location tracking, and an ankle-monitor lifestyle isn’t a preference, it’s a confession that you are deeply insecure and desperately need therapy. A Thread 🧵”
