I think woman are in their prime and their most desirable in their 30's! I'm upper 30's and could date 20 somethings but feel most really don't have their act together, yet!
Thus proving my point. You are 30, and many of the available men in your age range simply aren't up to the quality standard you hold. This is because at your age they are mostly gone. They have girlfriends, fiances, and wives already.
I don't think I have ever had a relationship with a guy that wasn't a good guy. Are they hard to find? No, but then I like men....I like talking to them, hanging out with them, just being with them, and I don't expect perfection. I am not perfect, so, it is not fair to hold a guy to a standard no one can meet. Of course, I have known some guys that weren't good, but I have known women that weren't good either.

My personal theory is that if the importance of looks were rated on a scale of 1-10, most men would put them at an 8 or 8.5. Most women, when asked, would say that looks are about a 4 or 5. The problem here is that most women will never admit that realistically they would rate the importance of looks at a 7 or 7.5. If a man doesn't doesn't have a six-pack and a square jawline, suddenly the reason women don't want him is because he isn't optimistic enough (read: no six pack) or he's 'boring' (read: no six pack) or he's not as outgoing as she wants him to be (read: no six pack).
I would even theorize that most women have the "looks aren't important" attitude so ingrained that they don't even realize that when men don't look like Brad Pitt it's suddenly open season on their minor personality flaws (that would never have existed if he was a super model). When she says that he has a great personality, is outgoing, friendly, confident, etc. what she means is that she is intensely physically attracted to him. I've had several friends who say that their boyfriends are intelligent (read: tall, dark, and handsome), only to realize that after talking to them they are actually not smart at all.
BIG DISCLAIMER SECTION:
1. This is my own theory based on personal experience. If smarts and a fun personality is all you needed to have a woman be attracted to you, I probably would've had many more dates in college. As such, this theory mostly encompasses women of younger ages. I know that women mature and learn to look past physical appearance to some degree as they get older, but the same thing can be said of men.
2. My theory cites a lot of broad generalizations. There are always exceptions.
3. I don't want this post to be inflammatory or start a war of the sexes. If it comes off as inflammatory or overly bitter, I apologize. For the record I have a great girlfriend at this time who is the exception to the rule (that's why she's such a great girlfriend).
4. I don't know anything.
Most of this is true to some extent. Many women will not admit their true standards not even to themself. They will describe standards to others that THEY don't even follow. This is why some men end up confused when they fit the standards the woman described yet they won't get the time of day. The reason is because that man doesn't fit the secret standards she set.

Yep! There is a set group of "Laws" that applies to all woman! The first and most important "Law" in the woman handbook is:
Law 1) Any law after the first law can be amended, adjusted, contorted, realigned to benefit the woman when dealing in situations with men.
Law 1. amendment 1) All woman will come to your support in dealing with the man you are having an issue with "unless" that woman is seeing said "Man". In this case the 50% division of woman support rule applies-50% support for yourself, 50% support for the Hussy!
This is why woman on woman relationships never really work-1st law applies to both parties and cancel each other out!
