She’s putting Big Apple bachelors on blast.
A New York City singleton has sparked widespread debate after sharing a list of “bare minimum rules” for men on a first date, with some critics claiming she’s “high maintenance.”
Raq, who is in her twenties, told The Post that dating as a single woman in the Big Apple is a “complete cesspool,” stating men are “either gay, too good to be true, or ran through.”
“The person in the suburbs would just never understand that,” Raq reeled. “Like the best man in the entire world, the guy who seems like he’s a f–king catch is actually pure evil.”
As such, the weary dater devised the rules and posted them to her X account, where they quickly clocked up over 1 million views and a whole lot of controversy.
“1. Pay the bill (if you split the bill, I will never speak to you again AND I will slander you),” Raq wrote, kicking off her list of seven rules by rebuffing the idea that women should now split expenses evenly.
“2. Open the door (ALL doors) – I don’t touch doors,” the singleton subsequently stipulated.
“3. Let her order first 4. Let her sit in the booth (obviously) 5. Offer to walk her home/to car/to Uber – to prove you’re not a huge p–sy,” Raq continued. “6. Do not mention your ex, your situationship, or ‘this girl I used to talk to’ 7. Sidewalk rule – if you don’t know it that explains why you’re single.”
Many X users replied to the rules, saying they agreed.
“Pretty simple, yet still so complex,” one frustrated female commisserated.
“Standard etiquette, anything below this basic standard is a nonstarter,” another chimed in.
However, hundreds of people flocked to the comments section to rage against Raq for the list.
“Funny how ‘bare minimum’ for men always comes with maximum entitlement for women,” one retorted.
“I don’t disagree, but your tone, especially on point 2 makes you sound high maintenance and undateable (unless I was drunk/desperate),” a second said.
Raq has become big on both X and Instagram sharing provocative lists, some of which appear to be, at least partially, tongue in cheek.
She has been hosting mixing events under the umbrella title “Make America Hot Again” in the hopes that she and other singles can meet “normal city conservatives” in real life. She says she is a political moderate.
“There’s this whole faction of conservatives who are like, ‘You have to be married by 22 and like on a dress in a farm, milking cow.’ Like, I’m just not doing that,” she stated
Her next event, titled Death of the Dating Apps, takes place in New York this month.
“It’s a little bit of a mish mash,” Raq said of the crowd. “It’s really just to find those cool, normal conservatives. We’re sort of like the Barstool conservatives… Me and my friends, you know, like we drink, we like to have fun.”
