A woman from England is taking a unique approach to filter out potential dates by asking them to submit a 500-word essay. The 28-year-old, who prefers to remain anonymous, says that asking for an essay helps her to determine a potential partner’s intelligence, communication skills, and level of effort.
The essay prompt is simple: “Why you are interested in dating me and what you think you can bring to my life?” She then reviews the submissions and selects only the most impressive ones to move forward with.
While some might see the request for an essay as excessive, the woman insists that it is an efficient way to find compatible partners. “Asking for an essay is definitely a good way of weeding out what you don’t want,” she says.
In a bizarre twist, the woman’s next step is to ask her potential suitors to perform a talent show as a way to showcase their unique abilities and personality traits.
