How much would you pay to meet the love of your life? For one woman, that figure comes up to $2,000.

Ms Bella Dai, 29, began sharing her $2,000 bounty and dating criteria on her Instagram account (@bellzdai) in February.

"I am looking for a life partner that embodies the following qualities," reads her post. These qualities include being a straight man aged 25 to 42, who is based in Singapore; possessing a "mastery in his craft"; having an interest in wellness and fitness; having the "courage to face difficult conversations"; and being open to explore spirituality for self-development.

A key condition: The bounty can be collected only if the referral results in a committed relationship that lasts at least six months.

Chengdu-born Ms Dai, a former industrial designer who is the founder of a wellness company, moved to Singapore at age 15 and has a degree in design art from Nanyang Technological University.

The 29-year-old said she was inspired to create the bounty after a conversation with a friend made her wonder what would happen if she applied work principles to her personal life.
