A glamorous tech executive has faced intense backlash after unveiling an extensive list of requirements for her ideal partner.
Brooke LeBlanc, 29, from San Francisco, went viral on X earlier this week after posting a detailed list of her dating “non-negotiables.”
Her criteria covered everything from a potential partner’s physique and personality to his views on having children.
She also set out expectations for personal growth, saying any prospective partner must be “on the healing path” and have a “history of serious commitment” to self-improvement through therapy, self-help books or wellness retreats.
“Wrote out a list of who I’m looking for,” she wrote in the now-deleted post. “X, work your magic.
“Non-negotiables: 35 to 42 years old, healthy, masculine, smart, funny, lighthearted, provider/protector mentality, post economic (still hardworking), must be kind, generous, thoughtful.”
LeBlanc added that she wanted a man without children who had already decided he would like to have them in the future.
“[They must be] on the healing path (history of serious commitment ex therapists, books, retreats),” the list continued.
A glamorous tech executive has drawn fierce criticism after revealing her extensive list of dating requirements.
Brooke LeBlanc, 29, from San Francisco, went viral on X after sharing a detailed list of dating “non-negotiables,” covering everything from a man’s body type and personality to his views on having children.
“Can meet anywhere but will not date unless [we] live in the same city. [Must be] fit and sober because you care about your health.”
Alongside her deal-breakers, LeBlanc also listed qualities she “strongly preferred” in a potential partner.
Among them were having no previous marriages or engagements and working in the technology industry.
The post quickly came under heavy scrutiny. However, LeBlanc, who serves as head of community at AI insurance company Corgi, later claimed in a follow-up post that she had already identified five potential partners since her list went viral.
She has since deleted her entire X account. The Daily Mail contacted LeBlanc for comment but had not received a response.

LeBlanc joined Corgi in February 2026. Previously, she worked as a business development manager at software company iDeals, where, according to her LinkedIn profile, she “sold the largest VDR contract in US to JP Morgan.”
The controversy comes months after a leading etiquette expert shared her own list of “non-negotiable” qualities for the “perfect man” with the Daily Mail.
Jo Hayes, founder of EtiquetteExpert.org, described the traits she considers essential in a future husband. Her perspective is informed not only by her professional expertise but also by personal experience, as she is also looking for love.

Are extensive dating requirements empowering, or do they create impossible standards for modern relationships?
It also contained rules, like, they must ‘be on the healing path’ and have a ‘history of serious commitment’ to healing by having seen a therapist, read a self-health book or been on a wellness retreat
Speaking from both a professional and personal perspective, Hayes told the Daily Mail she is ‘intentionally seeking a man who pursues a low-tech, low-digital lifestyle.’
For Hayes, a man who isn’t on social media isn’t just a bonus – it’s highly preferred.
‘Why? For all of the reasons,’ she said. ‘They’re more emotionally available, less distracted, less mentally over-stimulated by the excess “noise/content” on social media, less aware of the details of other people’s lives.’
She believes that removing social media from the equation allows relationships to feel more private and meaningful, which is what women crave.
Beyond her rigid stance on social media, Hayes’ list leans heavily into shared values and long-term compatibility, particularly when it comes to faith.
Finances are another major factor, and one she says many couples underestimate at their peril.
‘Ask any married couple, or marriage therapist, and you’ll discover that finances are up there as the leading issues of marital stress and conflict,’ she said.
But it’s not simply a case of marrying a rich man. Rather than wealth alone, Hayes emphasizes the importance of financial wisdom.
‘He doesn’t need to be a billionaire, but he must be financially secure, wise in creating wealth, and wise in stewarding that wealth,’ she added.
