The list starts with: “About bride – should be graceful, competent, and smart enough to manage home and family matters. She should be vibrant and energetic, adding to the family's lifestyle through food, clothing, and overall liveliness. Ideally, she should have a BMI under 24.”

Many people criticized the groom’s expectations as outdated and unrealistic, while some supported him, saying he was just clear about his preferences. One user commented, “Seems very unrealistic and old-fashioned. No smart woman would agree to this. He’ll stay single if he doesn’t change his thinking.” Another person said, “I appreciate him for knowing what he wants. Some women enjoy being homemakers, and just like we respect independent women, we should also respect those who choose this role."

Some questioned whether the message was real, with one user remarking, “Two minutes of silence for anyone who believes this really happened.” However, another user responded, "It’s funny people think this is fake, but I’ve met highly educated men who have said similar things to my face."
