Ruger reveals his ideal woman

The singer said financial stability is not a major factor for him because he is already financially comfortable.

“A woman’s financial status doesn’t matter to me. I am rich,” he said.

Ruger added that he had previously dated women who were unemployed, including some who were not particularly ambitious.

According to him, the most important quality he seeks in a woman is a good sense of humour.

“I want someone who is funny,” he said.

The singer also disclosed that he has made more than $2 million so far this year, suggesting that financial pressure is not the reason behind his desire to settle down.
