Vera Dijkmans, 27, set social media abuzz when she announced she was accepting applications from potential partners.
Despite the flood of interest, only three men met her exceptionally high standards.
With over seven million followers across different social media platforms, she remains one of the most sought-after influencers online.
Now, she’s sharing her insights on attracting the right kind of partner and highlighting the common mistakes women make in dating.
She offers this piece of advice: “Women need to have more respect for themselves and set clear boundaries with men.”
She believes that men should demonstrate genuine effort in dating by organizing well-thought-out plans, such as taking a woman to dinner or planning an enjoyable activity.
“A bouquet with flowers would also be OK. It doesn’t have to be something extravagant, but it shows that he values your time and company.”
She is a firm believer in the concept of “princess treatment” and encourages other women to embrace the same mindset: “I want the princess treatment because that is what I deserve – and you do, too.”
She strongly advises against entertaining men who only reach out late at night, emphasizing: “You shouldn’t accept behavior such as him only texting you after 10 pm because it shows that he doesn’t respect you.” According to Vera, cutting ties with such men right away is the best approach.
Additionally, she cautions women to be wary of men who make empty promises or display double standards in relationships.
She also recalls a professional incident where a makeup artist refused to work with her after realizing that her boyfriend followed Vera on social media.
However, despite facing some negativity, she also receives an outpouring of support from women who admire her confidence and high standards.
She credits her widespread appeal to her authenticity and the way she carries herself.
Nevertheless, she refuses to settle for less than what she believes she deserves, prioritizing qualities such as intelligence, humor, responsibility, and financial stability in a potential partner.
“I’m just very picky, and I need a guy to be almost perfect. 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.”
While she acknowledges that receiving attention can feel flattering, she has come to realize: “getting attention from men is not the most important thing in life.”
