Arin Patterson, a single woman in the United States, is going viral because of her creative way of searching for a life partner. She created a detailed "husband application" using a Google Form, shared it on social media and pinned it. The unusual approach quickly went viral, attracting more than 240 potential suitors eager to fill out the questionnaire.
The 36-year-old, who is from Charlotte, North Carolina, explained that standard dating platforms often felt like a waste of time, and decided to design a custom application, hoping to filter out unserious matches.

"I'm open to meeting a handsome, intelligent, kind, loyal, and generous man who's interested in coffee dates, dinner dates, good conversation and seeing where things go," Patterson wrote in the form.
In the form, she asked direct, practical questions about lifestyle and relationship goals. For example, the applicants were asked about their career ambitions, daily routines, and personal habits.
She also asked about long-term intentions, views on marriage, and expectations regarding family life. The form also gave applicants space to share their expectations and non-negotiables.
