Forget The Dating Apps — This Black Woman Created A 'Husband' Application And Hundreds Of Men Came Knocking

Arin Patterson says 241 men applied and 1,000 to 1,500 sent direct messages after she posted a three-page Google Form seeking a husband.

  • On September 30, Arin Patterson, a 36-year-old in Charlotte, North Carolina, closed her Google Form husband application after collecting 241 submissions and between 1,000 and 1,500 direct messages.
  • Patterson turned to the form after traditional dating apps and in-person meetups failed to produce a match. "I literally did everything I knew and could do," she explained of her decision to try a new strategy.
  • The Google Form listed "minimum qualifications" for potential husbands, requiring applicants to be Christian, single, and aged 28 to 47. Patterson also sought men who desire marriage and fatherhood.
  • Facing the task of reviewing 241 responses, Patterson plans to categorize the applicants in a spreadsheet. She told Fox News she intends to "start with a phone call" before moving to the dating stage.
  • The effort follows a trend of "Love Applications" that went viral on TikTok last year. While some critics labeled the move desperate, Patterson frames the application as a tool for clarity.
