A San Franciso-based tech<\/a> executive who went viral for laying out her ultra-specific list of dating \u201cnon-negotiables\u201d has added one more hurdle for prospective suitors<\/a> \u2014\u00a0getting Mom\u2019s seal of approval.<\/p>\n

Brooke LeBlanc, an executive at tech company Corgi, sparked a social-media frenzy after asking X to help her find the man of her dreams.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho wants to cofound the rest of my life with me?\u201d she wrote, before unveiling her lengthy list of requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brooke LeBlanc, an executive at tech company Corgi, is pictured after catching considerable heat for posting her laundry list of dating requirements on X.<\/p>\n

But now it appears prospective candidates have another person to impress \u2014 and she may be the toughest interviewer of them all.<\/p>\n

\u201cFoot note: You will now also have to get my mom\u2019s approval as she\u2019s reading replies and sending me \u2018which ones are cute,\u2019\u201d LeBlanc wrote.<\/p>\n

She shared the update alongside a screenshot of a text from her mother, who appeared to have already found one potential contender worth flagging.<\/p>\n

\u201cBabe- idk what the hell you are stirring up today, but this guy is seems [sic] smart, funny and cute! \ud83e\udd73 even though my twitter acct was hacked, I\u2019m getting some of your feed rolling up about \u2018post economic\u2019 banter!! Haha! Love you sweetie!!\u201d her mom wrote.<\/p>\n

The man in question was\u00a0David Stehle, whose X profile describes him as a \u201cNetwork Security Consultant (Founder & CEO) | Rusty Writer,\u201d a \u201cBFF to a Bulldog\u201d and a builder working on a \u201c#modern\u201d project.<\/p>\n

So what exactly does a man have to do to make the cut? Her\u00a0non-negotiables\u00a0include a man between\u00a035 and 42 years old, \u201chealthy masculine,\u201d smart, funny and lighthearted.<\/p>\n

He must have a\u00a0\u201cprovider\/protector mentality\u201d\u00a0and be \u201cpost economic (still hardworking),\u201d while also being kind, generous and thoughtful.<\/p>\n

Children are another major box to check: He must have\u00a0no kids yet but \u201cdecidedly\u201d want kids. And emotional self-improvement is apparently mandatory.<\/p>\n

LeBlanc said her ideal partner should be\u00a0\u201con the healing path,\u201d\u00a0with a history of serious commitment that could include therapy, books or retreats.<\/p>\n

There is also a long-distance rule: Potential suitors can meet her anywhere, but she\u00a0\u201cwill not date unless live in the same city.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the prospective Mr. Right needs to be fit and sober because, according to the checklist,\u00a0\u201cyou care about your health.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then come the strongly preferred extras: LeBlanc would rather her dream man have\u00a0no previous marriages or engagements\u00a0and, naturally,\u00a0work in tech<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 someone comfortable with risk and whose career is \u201cblended into personal life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The checklist has already drawn plenty of attention online, with commenters poking fun at both the requirements and the famously complicated San Francisco dating scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One person wrote,\u00a0\u201cI can\u2019t imagine anything worse than being single and dating in SF,\u201d\u00a0while another quipped,\u00a0\u201cLol. I thought this was AI slop. Sad to find out it\u2019s real.\u201d<\/p>\n

LeBlanc\u2019s checklist has already drawn plenty of attention online, with commenters poking fun at both the requirements and the famously complicated San Francisco dating scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While some men online have taken offense to LeBlanc\u2019s real but apparently lighthearted list, women have shown support.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a decent-looking, ambitious guy said he had a certain checklist for dating, people wouldn\u2019t blink. I\u2019d think about that,\u201d Julia Gurner wrote on X. \u201cI hope\u00a0*everyone* has standards for who they date.\u201d<\/p>\n
