The woman who created the viral 'man in finance' video has revealed what kind of guy she's actually looking for.
The TikTok song - which is only 19 seconds long - went viral after creator Megan Boni declared: “I’m looking for a man in finance with a trust fund, 6’5”, blue eyes.”
At the time, Megan - who goes by @girl_on_couch - asked: “Did I just write the song of the summer?” Adding: “Can someone make this into an actual song plz just for funzies.”
Megan didn't expect the viral sound to rack up millions of views, striking a chord with other social media users who were seemingly lusting after the same characteristics.

Others shared their own spin-offs, with one person commenting on the video: "Looking for a man in farming, brown shoes, checked shirt, 100 acres."
Meanwhile, the official Crocs account added: "Looking for a man outside, hiking, wears crocs, green eyes."
And a third said: "I’m looking for a man in tech, self made, 6,3 and brown eyes."
Following the success of the video, Megan has spoken about her 19-second song, how it landed her with a record deal and a single with DJ David Guetta and whether she's actually looking for a man in finance.
"I'm not [looking for a man in finance]," Megan told NBC News. "I'm looking for like, someone with a dad bod.

"I was trying to make fun of single girls... I'm a single girl as well... who complain about being single but then like, have all these needs that are impossible."
Speaking about the huge success she's encountered, she added: "If I was a struggling artist in LA and I saw this, I would be p****d.
"Because like, this random girl posts from her couch and now she has a record deal, and it seems a little unfair, but to be fair it's really catchy.

"It's amazing, they're just like giving me the reassurance I needed to do what I wanted to do which is be my own man in finance."

Prior to creating the song, Megan was working in sales. Now, she's bagged a music deal with Universal, explaining that the seconds-long song pays her more than her full-time job would have paid in a year.
"I’ve gotten all kinds of brand deals, like Tinder just paid me handsomely for 15 seconds of me in a hoodie," she told Philadelphia Magazine, adding that she's since been able to quit her job.
"All these underwear companies are sending me free stuff."
