“Can think for herself” makes me thing they’re just trolling
- You are underestimating christo-fascists and their desire for ultra traditional gender roles.
- Has all teeth ✔️
- Yeah thats just too over the top
- Thinking for herself is a requirement in the industrialized world, since adulting is a subset. Maybe there's a farm that raises gentle ladies-in-waiting with only domestic skills the way we train service dogs to help disabled people, but such women are not found in general society.
  Also, not thinking for herself makes her unemployable in a society where all adults are required to earn a living (which often takes more than one full-time job). So this requirement implies the guy is rich enough to afford a family on one income.
  In short, like the 1950s man, he's not looking for a date or a wife. He's looking for a household appliance. Kenmore will sort him out.
  As for ~~the rest of us losers~~ working class guys, real women who think for them selves and can adult are an asset and a keeper. Heck, if they can think for us too, sometimes, that's a bonus.

"Can think for herself".
Dude really wants to do the "Where do you want to go eat?" "I dunno, where do you want to go eat?" vicious cycle?
- What do you want to eat‽
  
  Right now, I could go for a burrito or two
  
  Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
  What do you want to eat‽
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
  
  I finally got around to watching that and it keeps getting funnier.

He forgot to include "- Can recognize satire"
- Yeah, this has to be satire, right? Right?
  
  My Poe's law detector is flipping out rn.
  
  You'd hope so but it aligns way too close to a lot of the "trad wife" types for me to be too sure

Having a penis conspicuously absent from this list.
- Even this guy knows trans women are women. That battle has been lost and won.
  
  Trans Inclusive Radical Misogyny, where trans women are inferior because they're women, not because they're trans.

This man is basically saying out loud "Don't date me, I just want a servant I can fuck."
- Oh and one that looks nice on pictures or at events.
- Ah, a Bangmaid!

I'm seriously on the fence with this one. A couple of points make it really difficult for it to not to be satire, but I've met guys who would unironically think of "can think for herself" as a malus - but they wouldn't admit it out loud. Now, can there be some kind of cave creature so pulled apart from civilized life that they would think this and post it?
- I'm pretty sure this guy does want a woman who can think for herself. Otherwise he's gonna have to tell her how and when to clean the house, plan and cook meals, take care of their kids, and manage the household...etc. He's gunning for the Monkey's Paw version of a tradwife.

Vaping would be a deal breaker for me. Besides being douchy, I just plain don’t like it, just how I hate smoking. Piercings I probably wouldn’t like outa taste, but someone who can think for themselves is a must otherwise I’d get bored quickly. Not being able to cook would be somewhat problematic as I can’t cook well either, soooo…
- You can learn to cook together 😻
- The type of person that wants someone that can't think for them selves....isn't really that high on the mental flag pole of life.
  But the saying is code for a bunch of stuff, I really doubt that they mean they are searching for someone with severe brain damage and has trouble performing even the basic functions of life.
  
  Yeah that just means “someone who asks her husband permission to do most things that aren’t chores like it’s the handmaiden’s tale”

This guy is a troll, which does not rule out also being a sexist bigot.
In any joke there's a part you believe and a part you don't.

"Can think for herself"
Give this man an inflatable fuckdoll
- Cannot cook, only 8/10

Really think everyone should know how to cook, at least the basics
- Sadly that's very likely not what that person meant.
  
  I know, but that would be on my list too (tho it wouldnt just make someone a '1/10')

How a guy can go his entire life as a virgin.
- I am pretty sure it's satire. "Has driver's license, can think for herself"
  That must be satire.
  
  Maybe? There is a large portion of christo-fascists who actually believe much of that. I am certainly not so naive that I am ruling out satire, but I would also be remiss not to consider that it's actually real and posted by an outright garbage human.
  
  Normally I would agree, but we are in the the bizzaro timeline

Lots of these are on my list of wants in a partner. Give me a tatt'd up sailor mouthed gym rat any day of the week. Driver's license optional.

“Not lobotomised”
- "Over 18"
  ... my first thought when I read "never dated a woman" was "yeah, because these are mostly the basic requirements for an adult women. Sicko obviously likes them young"

This is a satire, right?
- Seemed realistic enough at first but then "thinks for herself" and "been to more than 3 countries" puts this obviously in satire land.

This person needs to hire a cook and get a sex doll. Actually scratch that, door dash. He's way too fucked to interact with other humans. I feel bad for anyone in his life.

Plot twist: He's creating impossible standards for women because he's secretly a closeted gay man and doesn't want to date a woman
- You create impossible standards for women because you're secretly a closeted gay man.
  I create impossible standards for women because I'm scared of rejection.
  We are not the same.

I choose to believe he's counting backwards from 10, and I got 12/14 so I'm gonna call my score -1/10 and hope guys like this avoid me 😂
Only missed 500 IG followers and hugging the bouncer. But I like to think I'd hug a nice bouncer :)

Yes people this is satire is obvious. Get off the Internet a bit
- There are people who are genuinely like this, and his profile pic fits the bill too. I wouldn't assume this to be satire or sarcasm without seeing more of their profile first.
  
  Poe's law
- I've met people who feel this way 100% I don't feel sure it's satire.
  They will literally tell me they're "better than me, because I'm a woman. And men are just better than women"
  ^direct quote
  Some guys and oddly some women are into it. I don't get it either but they exist
  
  Why would a woman tell you she's better than herself though

The only thing that can take a ten to a one is not having a goblet made from a skull of one of her slain enemies!

You should curse more just to be save.

You should really start using profanity more. It's really fucking fun

For some reason I have a real bad phobia of piercings, which is unfortunate, as most hot people have them.
- The only ones that really bother me are the ones that go through the center part of their nose like a cartoon bull. I can't stop thinking about them getting crusty when you have a runny nose and it grosses me out.
  
  Oh yeah I get that. I too think that it's weird how these through the nose ones are so popular...

People hold these views. The fact he's trolling doesn't exclude him from holding some or all of them. Whether he holds these views or not isn't relevant to understanding these views. Here are some reasons why a conservative man would hold these views.
These threaten his religious sensibilities:
Use of profanity or vulgar language
Any piercings
Vapes
Hugs the bouncer on a night out
Skimpy clothing
Tattoos
Atheist
These threaten traditional roles for women, which he needs to deny women access to public life and define his own masculinity:
Over 500 followers on IG
Has a twitter account (Other microblogging platforms do count)
Cannot cook
These threaten his masculinity because he associates them with men:
Knows what a barbell is
Been to more than 3 countries
These threaten the dependence that he thinks women should have on him and all the other reasons apply to these as well:
Has a drivers license
Can think for herself

Bro like 3/4 of that list are requirements for me or neutral.

Yea hes pretty picky, but don't y'all pretend you dont also have your own instant deal breakers. I share a few with this list:
Vapes
Hugs bouncer on a night out (Tbh that is weird but also I wouldn't date someone who goes out to bars anyways, just not my kind of life, ya know?)
500 followers on Instagram
Everything else on that list is either just fine or even a bonus

That makes me a 0 ... ( Depending what he thinks about te stuff I do cook )
Have been called worser things than a null points. But somehow in this case I see it as a compliment.

Cannot cook is a turn off tho. Everyone should know how to cook, at least somewhat.

Dude still in love with the one that rejected him.

If anyone has even one of these you are a 10/10 and should hit me up (we can be friends)

Okay, so I personally don't care for tattoos or vapers? But everything else on this list is just mental illness on his part.

This dude hates attractive women who can't cook.

Let's see, I'm:
Profane
I hug bouncers(if i regular somewhere, or if they seem like they need/want a hug[hugs cheer lots of people up])
Im the only goddess i worship.
i love driving
i have been thinking for myself my whole life
i used to lift/work out when i was in a desk job
ive been to like 12 countries.
guess ill have to tell the guys im a 1 and that they are out of my league, LMAO.

That's just gay, not the cool kind though
- No. There's only the cool kinds
  
  Cool gays don't hate women like that, I think

I also got a 7/14 lol

Have some men ever felt love? Or any closeness?
