A London-based model has declared herself the ‘world’s most wanted girlfriend’ after receiving a staggering 5,000 applications from men hoping to date her.
Vera Dijkmans, 27, sparked widespread discussion online when she announced that she was accepting applications from potential suitors.
However, despite the overwhelming response, only three men met her stringent standards.
Although she attracted significant interest, Vera ultimately did not find romance.
With over seven million followers across various social media platforms, she remains a highly sought-after figure.
Now, she is offering advice to women on how to attract the right partner while pointing out common mistakes they make in the dating world.
In an interview with Mail Online, Vera emphasizes the importance of self-respect and establishing firm boundaries.
She advises: “Women need to have more respect for themselves and set clear boundaries with men.”
She believes that men should put effort into dating by planning thoughtful outings, such as dinner or engaging activities.
“You shouldn’t settle for late-night requests to ‘come over’ or going on dates where he has made no effort to plan in advance,” she insists.
Setting high expectations is crucial for Vera, who refuses to entertain dates that lack preparation or consideration.
“This is a hard rule of mine. If they don’t suggest an impressive first date, I won’t bother going. And he should bring you a gift, too.”
While she has received luxurious gifts such as designer clothing from Louis Vuitton and Hermès, Vera clarifies that the gesture matters more than the price tag.
“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 firmly believes in the “princess treatment” and encourages other women to expect the same: “I want the princess treatment because that is what I deserve – and you do, too.”
In addition to offering dating advice, Vera warns women about red flags in potential partners.
She cautions against men who only message late at night, stating: “You shouldn’t accept behavior such as him only texting you after 10 pm because it shows that he doesn’t respect you.” She advises cutting off such individuals immediately.
Furthermore, Vera warns against men who make false promises or demonstrate double standards.
She also stresses the importance of hygiene and financial responsibility as essential qualities in a partner.
“If they don’t take care of themselves both in terms of hygiene and finances, that’s another big red flag for me.”
Despite receiving some backlash, particularly from women who disagree with her methods or feel envious, Vera remains steadfast in her approach.
“A family member who has been looking for a man herself for a long time refused to talk to me after I put out the boyfriend application – she told me it’s disgraceful.”
She also recounts a professional encounter where a makeup artist refused to assist her after discovering that her boyfriend followed Vera on social media.
However, she also receives a great deal of support from women who admire her confidence and standards.
Reflecting on the thousands of applications she received, she admits: “I’m not going to lie, it felt amazing to have so many men apply to be my boyfriend.”
Vera attributes her widespread appeal to her authenticity.
Nonetheless, she refuses to settle for anything less than what she deserves, prioritizing intelligence, humor, responsibility, and financial stability in a potential partner.
“At the moment, I’ve put the boyfriend search on hold but I’m keeping my options open,” she shares.
“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 feels good, she has learned that: “getting attention from men is not the most important thing in life.”
