MrBeast's controversial ten-point checklist that he puts any potential girlfriend through
MrBeast has a controversial ten-point checklist that he admitted he puts any potential girlfriend through.
The YouTuber, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, appeared on a podcast where he revealed that he has a strict list of tests for when he meets a new woman.
Earlier this year Donaldson earned the title of having the most subscribed YouTube channel, with over 300 million followers on the MrBeast account.

His videos are known for having high production quality, with over-the-top challenges and competitions and huge cash prizes up for grabs.
Now, a resurfaced clip from his episode on the Flagrant channel is spreading across social media.
On the podcast, Donaldson said: “I have to go through the test because I don't really get along with women if like they don't love learning, they're not obsessive, they don't have a hobby.
“There's just certain things where if you have these traits, we get along really well and if you don't, like it's impossible for us to hang out.”
Donaldson went on to admit that he put his current girlfriend “through the ringer”.
He added: “I start asking questions, ‘what do you do?’ And then she was like ‘I'm an author’.
“I was like, yeah good she has a hobby.”
Donaldson said that as part of his checklist, he has to find out if a woman “likes learning” and “what kind of content” she consumes.
The YouTuber said that during their first meeting, his girlfriend was “checking all the boxes”.
He continued: “I had like these 10 things where like if I meet a girl that's beautiful and they have these 10 traits, like we're gonna be literally best friends.”
Donaldson said that, “I just need a partner who loves learning, you know, and just wants to improve like for us now, an idea of a date is just to like take an IQ test and then study and see if we can get it higher”.
He added: “This is probably the 40th different girl I had talked to since my ex and I was just waiting till I found someone that like moved out all these criteria the second she checked them I was like that's it.”
Not everyone was impressed by Donaldson’s remarks on the podcast.
Taking to TikTok, one user wrote: “Not y'all brushing over ‘I don't really get along with women’ part…”
Another said: “Why is he acting like actually getting to know your potential future partner is a rare and quirky thing to do.”
A third posted: “If people are “testing you” to see if you pass they aren’t valuing you or the relationship instead seeing themselves as the prize.”
And a fourth joked: “On what date do they get to stop calling him MrBeast?”
