Story summary

Brooke LeBlanc, an executive at Corgi, a tech company, posted on X (formerly Twitter) seeking a partner who matches her specific criteria. Her post asked, "Who wants to cofound the rest of my life with me?" and included requirements such as being "healthy masculine," "post economic" but still hardworking, and working in tech. This prompted significant backlash online, with commenters criticizing her approach to dating. LeBlanc defended herself by stating, "God forbid a woman asks for what she wants." She later added another requirement: getting approval from her mother, who had already flagged one potential match as smart, funny, and cute.
