Mum 'appalled' by man's Tinder profile listing specific demands of any date

A woman was left speechless after seeing a man's profile on Tinder that demands "a real woman" to help raise his children.

Posting on parenting forum Mumsnet, she asked whether it was "unreasonable to be shocked and appalled at this Tinder profile".

She shared a screenshot of the profile, in which the man states any woman he goes on a date with "must" have a car, and "must be able to cook and clean".

Alongside the screenshot, the woman simply wrote: "I have no words".

The profile reads: "I'm a single father of three, and another on the way. They are my world.

"If you don't have what it takes to help me raise my kids, then move aside and let a real woman step up.

"Must have your own car, preferably a minivan. Must be able to cook, clean and be submissive."

It continues: "No taller than 5'5". Must be fit.

"Have your own source of income and no kids of your own."

The post has since received dozens of replies from fellow Mumsnet users, with many making jokes about the unusual profile.

"He sounds like a real catch," said one sarcastically, while a second echoed: "Form an orderly queue ladies!"

"I bet he still gets a date," commented a second.

A third argued: "If ONLY men were this honest on dating profiles. Because this is actually the situation of many of them."

Another agreed: "Sound about normal from what I read on here about what men expect and some of us put up with."

Others felt that the man was only joking, with one commenting: "It's reverse psychology. He's probably none of those things but a reasonably good catch with a black sense of humour.

"My type, really."

A second stated: "I’ve matched with a few who have had profiles like this (mid-late 30s) they usually have a great sense of humour. There’s a lot of satire on tinder now, just makes it more interesting than reading same old bios."
