Wanted Lover, Apply!
Gen Z's requests for romance are taking dating apps out of the game, moving such interactions to a much more public forum: their social media accounts.
Like many other things, this trend started from a viral video on "TikTok".
"I want to let everyone know that in 2025 I will be accepting boyfriend proposals. Yes, it's very exciting," Anise Armstrong wrote in a now-viral video.
@anisethemuse Can't wait to be loved next year ??

This viral video was followed by many others, where in addition to declarations of the nature "I am single and looking for the other half", the users of "TikTok" also wrote the list of criteria that the applicants must have. Let's say, the same as in the description of a job vacancy.

The requirements are diverse: Applicants who do not have a broken heart, people with or without children, Trump supporters, short, tall, emotionally stable, romantic and many others.

Also, many have chosen to make things clear to avoid applicants who will not be selected, such as a guy shorter than themselves.
Different people have had the same requests, looking for a person to love them madly as well as "only interesting men".
There have also been no shortage of requests regarding the financial aspect: "I want someone to support me financially", writes someone else.
The trend has also been joined by boys, who have shared their characteristics to "attract" applicants.
