About
"I'm a Man / Woman Looking For", also known as "I Am A", refers to an exploitable questionnaire used on Twitter in which people specify their gender and a humorous response to what they look for in a romantic partner, parodying the format of a dating survey. The template follows the structure of a personal ad: "I am a ⚪️ man or ⚪️ woman"/ "Looking for ⚪️ Man ⚪️ Woman ⚪️ [Joke Response]." The user uses the "🔘" emoji to point to do the joke.
Origin
On August 14th, 2017, Twitter[1] user @SPENCERcNIEMETZ tweeted the first questionnaire, posting that he is a "man" looking for "Carly Rae Jepsen's 2015 masterpiece E•MO•TION to receive the justice it deserves." The tweet (shown below) received more than 8,500 retweets and 30,000 likes in eight days.
