An American surgeon is looking for love - and his requirements are, well, incredibly specific and more than a touch creepy.

The unnamed but self-professed "very successful" man sent out a very long email to around 30 people he met at a New Jersey networking event last week (all openly cc-ed), offering cash rewards to the person who could find him the 'skinny', 'Caucasian' and 'Christian' girl he's after (only once he'd approved her picture, of course).

One of these strangers then leaked the email to the American press.

A first date set-up with the surgeon's perfect woman (she has to have spent significant time in a city of one million or more and would preferably be a Highly Functional Type B) would get someone NZ$125, but by the fifth date, the matchmaker would be rewarded with NZ$630 and a free Lasek eye surgery (where can we get his email addy? Just joking. Maybe).

Here's the full, unedited email (we kept in his wonderful punctuation) in all its glory from this definitely Type A guy, as published on Jezebel:

"dear fellow networking event attendees,

i was very late to last night's event, so i only got to meet a small fraction of you guys (i tried to hurry, but you really can't hurry-up surgery!)

sorry about this mass email, but it's more efficient on my end. i'm also kind of a "semi-professional networker" with 10,000 people in my gmail contacts list, 1,000 friends on my various FB accts (even though i don't use FB myself), 1,000 followers on Twitter, and google will "auto populate" my name, so perhaps some of you "beginning" networkers will learn some tips of how i'm always trying to create a "win-win" (this skill set was stressed a lot when i got my MBA from NYU)

my situation is somewhat unusual in that i am the #1 surgeon of my type in the northeastern US by volume, and have performed nearly 20,000 procedures over the last 15 years, so i really don't need additional income (which is the unusual part). i'm actually so successful that most of the reason i attend networking events these days is for personal networking, not business networking-i'm trying to meet the right woman to fall in love with, marry, and start a family with (i'm single, never married, and really want kids before i'm old!)

i've hired some professional matchmakers over the years, with OK results (eg i've dated 2 of the matches for 6 months each, which is pretty good). the services vary enormously in quality and price (with an imperfect correlation). for example, doing the math (ie taking their fee and dividing by the number of introductions they made), i've paid between $100 and $1,000 per introduction (which is worth it to me, even on the high end, since i have an unusual time/$ preference, ie have more $ than time)

clearly, i'm still trying to meet the right woman the "normal way" like out at events, or through dating websites (which is, shall i say, "normal-ish"). however, i do strongly feel that having as many sources as possible only increases the potential candidate pool, and increases my chances of meeting the right person (hence my offer to you)

so if you (or any of your friends) like playing matchmaker, please read my preferences/parameters below and try to help me out.

please send me the parameters and picture of the potential setup, so i can say if i'm interested, before you start introducing us (otherwise it's kind of awkward then saying that i'm not interested). if interested, i'm offering the following "thank-you gifts" for your kind help:

first date set up: $100 cash

second date (with either same person, indicating a better match, or a 2nd person): +$200 or free latisse worth $300

third date (again can be w same person): + $300 or free botox worth $500

4th date (w same or diff person): + $400 or free Juvederm injections worth $900

5th date (same conditions): + 500 cash or 1 eye free LASEK worth $2000:)

this is what i am in general looking for.

These are my Hard (Objective) Dating Parameters which are NOT Flexible:(this means I am only willing to pay for introductions if ALL these criteria are met)(if you want to set me up w someone missing 1 of these criteria, I may accept, but will not pay for that)

Age 27-35 (ideally 28-34)

No kids, wants kids in the next 1-2 years

College graduate, doesn't have to be a great school, but needs to have finished the degree

Skinny (i.e. dress size 0-2, if you don't know what that means (many men don't) it means very skinny)

Caucasian (not black, not Hispanic, not Asian)

Healthy lifestyle (defined as no smoking, no drugs, good diet, no hard drinking,

These are things that I would ideally prefer, but don't require (i.e. I am flexible about these criteria)

Christian (any denomination is fine, I'm Catholic but not very religious, prefer any religion over none, must be religiously tolerant, will not be compatible with someone who thinks everyone else is damned)

Graduate degree or very good undergraduate school (more compatible since I went to 3 Ivy League schools i.e. Dartmouth, Columbia & Harvard, as well as Emory and my MBA from NYU)

Spent significant time in another country other than the US (either born somewhere else or lived out of the US for a total of a 6 months or more, not on a vacation, doing something like school or work)

Spent significant time (>1 yr) living in a city of 1 million or more (so can live in NYC if moves here)

Likes animals and pets, particularly dogs (because I plan to have a dog for the rest of my life)

These are the Soft (Objective) Criteria I require, but are difficult to match (because they're qualitative)

Attractive (like an 8 out of the 1-10 scale, 9-10 is actually bad as it comes with a lot of downside)

Nice, normal, sweet, kind, altruistic, selfless, not entitled, bitchy, materialistic, selfish, self-centered

Stylish, fashionable, polished, confident but not vain, superficial, overly concerned about looks

Hard-working, real career, full-time job (unless in graduate school), achievement-oriented

Highly functional Type B (not a Type A because too similar, not a Type B who can't get stuff done)

Easy-going, sense of humor, doesn't take life or things too seriously, gets along well with everyone

Good person, follows the Golden Rule, nice and kind to others, never does bad things because of valuesGood family, good role models, ideally good nuclear family so can emulate good patterns of behavior."

Oh wow. Many people are guessing that it's this guy at it again. Who knows.
