During a street interview, the young woman stated that a major deal-breaker for her in a potential male partner was the inability to speak 'proper English'.

She explained that she would not date a man who primarily communicates in Pidgin English.

"A guy who speaks pidgin like on a regular, like it's your language. You don't know how to speak normal English, like bro," she said.

She added:

"No, but you see some guys, they are fluent in English, you understand? But some of them, they can't speak proper English. It's only pidgin, like, you understand?"
