Dijkmans has issued dating advice to follow females.
"Coming from a small country and reaching a global audience has taught me that your voice isn’t limited by where you’re from, only by how boldly you use it," she shared.
Leveraging her newfound fame, Dijkmans gives dating advice — aimed especially at single women.
She urges them to “have more respect for themselves and set clear boundaries,” including rejecting late-night invites and low-effort date offers.
Dijkmans started her social media journey in 2013.
According to her, a prospective partner should plan proper outings, dinner or shared activities, and bring a thoughtful gesture, whether a modest bouquet or luxury handbag, to demonstrate appreciation.
Dijkmans also emphasizes vigilance when spotting red flags: consistent late-night texts, false promises, poor personal hygiene or financial irresponsibility all earn her cutoff verdict.

With estimated earnings reaching hundreds of thousands per month, she epitomizes the phenomenon of “pretty privilege,” a term she uses knowingly, crediting her large following not just to her looks, but to her “authentic personality.”
While some critics have labeled her approach as elitist or arrogant, accusing her of promoting unattainable standards, Dijkmans stands firm.
She openly acknowledges occasional backlash, from makeup artists reluctant to assist her, to criticism from other women, but remains steadfast in her conviction that self-worth and boundaries are paramount.
