American model Amber Rose divided the internet with a controversial description of her ideal dream man on social media.
The mother of two is famous for her outspokenness concerning feminism and for organizing the transnational movement SlutWalk, which calls for an end to rape culture–including victim blaming and slut shaming of sexual assault victims.
On Monday, she posted a detailed list of dating requirements that seemed to follow her frustration after several failed relationships–many of which have included high-profile male celebrities, like rappers Ye, Wiz Khalifa, and 21 Savage.
The Instagram page for @theshaderoom shared a screenshot of her post lamenting:
“Why is it so hard to find an intelligent, sexy, rich, successful, tatted gentleman that also has kids, but is NOT an abusive narcissist.”
While the first part of her statement can be relatable, it was the next descriptor of an ideal date that had some social media users shouting Hail Marys.
"...and he's definitely an atheist," she said, adding:
"But also a feminist...I'm not asking for much."
Some users found her last statement a deal breaker.

In spite of the backlash, she doubled down on her beliefs and wrote in the comments:
“I said what I said.”
The 38-year-old American model and television personality first came onto the scene by appearing in the music video for Young Jeezy and Ye's single "Put On."
She had a two-year relationship with Ye starting in 2008, which led to her gaining more exposure and posing in Louis Vuitton ads featuring Ye's sneaker line.
In 2013, Rose married rapper Wiz Khalifa and filed for divorce in 2014 citing irreconcilable differences. They have joint custody of their son as of 2015.
After dating and separating from Machine Gun Kelly and rapper 21 Savage, she went on to date Def Jam records label executive Alexander Edwards and gave birth to her youngest son with him in 2019.
It was later revealed Edwards reportedly cheated on Rose with 12 different women last year.
In January 2022, it was speculated they were working through their relationship as they have been spotted together holding hands in Los Angeles.
There has been no official confirmation the pair are back together.
