If you're thinking of dating TikTok and Instagram influencer Kornelija Slunjski, you better come correct with a dinner reservation in hand and a walletful of cash, because she's not about that coffee date life.
And people on the internet are roasting her to a crisp for it.
Slunjski, who goes by kokobeaute on TikTok and describes herself as your "boujee best friend," struck a nerve with her video detailing why walks and coffees are unacceptable date options.
@kokobeaute NO to zero effort men #datingadvicefortheladies #datinglife2021 #datingtoday
The video, which is captioned "NO to zero effort men," went viral in recent weeks as people found her exacting demands for the men in her life ridiculous, unattainable, or just downright offensive.
But say what you want about Slunjski's demands, it's hard to argue with her points, even if you disagree on the whole.
For instance, here's her two cents on taking a walk as a date option:
"First of all, I'm not a dog that needs to be walked."
Well, she's got us there.
And as for coffee dates?
"...I have a Nespresso machine at home – works fabulous."
Fair enough!
So maybe you should start off by taking Slunjski for a drink, right? WRONG. She's not doing that either.
Why?
"You're going to try to get me drunk and take me back home."
Ok so what is an acceptable first date for this extra-choosy influencer?
One thing and one thing only—dinner. Slunjski explained she wants to see if you have manners, whether you can hold your chopsticks correctly, and she wants to "study you a bit." So "dinner it is," she concluded.
Many of her fellow TikTokers protested she is overly "high maintenance," but in follow-up videos addressing the blowback, Slunjski said in her native Croatia, this is just how dating works. And as she pointed out in another video—filmed on a private jet, of course—she's just "used to" a lifestyle with a high price tag.
@kokobeaute Reply to @dlink2020 let the trolls tell me what’s high maintenance #highmaintanence #highmaintanance #keepyourstandardshigh
As you might imagine, none of this earned her any points with her fellow TikTokers, who roasted her to a deeply charred crisp in the comments.

But the blowback hasn't given Slujnski a moment of pause.
In her final follow-up video, she doubled down on her advice, telling her female followers to "never lower your standards for a man who cannot rise up to them."
