A Silicon Valley tech executive went viral<\/a> \u2014 and faced a mountain of mockery \u2014 after sharing her list of dating “non-negotiables.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Brooke LeBlanc, an executive at the tech company Corgi<\/a>, faced an onslaught of backlash after she asked her nearly 37,000 followers on X on Friday, ‘Who wants to co-found the rest of my life with me?”<\/p>\n

LeBlanc then listed out her requirements for her future partner, noting he must be “healthy masculine,” “smart, funny, lighthearted,” and “post-economic (still hardworking).”<\/p>\n

He must also be between 35 and 42, “kind, generous, thoughtful,” and “on the healing path.” She also noted that she strongly prefers a man who works in tech and does not have kids \u2014 but wants them someday.<\/p>\n

LeBlanc’s post quickly blew up, gaining nearly 5 million views and media attention \u2014 while also shedding light on the harsh realities of modern dating.<\/p>\n

“I can’t imagine anything worse than being single and dating in SF,” one X user commented.<\/a><\/p>\n

“And they say romance is dead,” another commenter joked.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Everything is an HR recruiter job posting now,” another user noted.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Anyone like this is already married and not interested in a woman who posts a laundry list of dating requirements on social media,” one X user commented.<\/a><\/p>\n

While some X users were critical of LeBlanc’s desires in a partner, others were quick to come to her defense.<\/p>\n

“Why is it ok for a man to say 24\/7 he wants a big butt and DDD chest but as soon as a woman says what she wants for nest building that’s illegal? This is biology,” one user responded to the viral post.<\/a><\/p>\n

Another social media user simply noted<\/a>: “Eventually you realize that all the single people have lists and all those happily coupled up think lists are funny.”<\/p>\n

LeBlanc responded to the backlash, writing, “God forbid a woman asks for what she wants.”<\/p>\n

“Sorry, I don’t want to date a loser!” she added.<\/p>\n

She later noted that “years of dating experience” inspired her to make the list.<\/p>\n

“Getting bullied on the Internet today, so I can be a financially free hot mom in the future,” she added.<\/p>\n

The Independent has contacted LeBlanc seeking comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Silicon Valley tech executive went viral \u2014 and faced a mountain of mockery \u2014 after sharing her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[184772,7,9,8,185032,18789,185033],"class_list":["post-470281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-brooke-leblanc","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-california-tech","tag-dating","tag-non-negotiables"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
