- educated. He needs to have atleast a college degree. He has to have a great career. So far, I've only dated guys who are managers of their departments.
- tall. Nobody shorter than 5'9. Not taller than 6'2.
- physically fit. He needs to have a nice tight body. He needs to be physically active or working out regularly.
- good looking. This part is self explanatory. Cute face is mandatory. No balding head.

So far, I have no problem finding guys described above. I have actually dated a few of them. I think what I'm looking for is reasonable. I think it's what most of the girls are looking for in a guy. What do you guys think?

Do I have high standards?

You better.

College degree is good. A good career is good. However, would you accept someone that owns a successful business, but doesn't have his college degree, whether or not he is working on it?

Physical fitness is a good standard to have. Healthy people.

Good looking, Cute face. That is actually subjective other than the balding head.

Sounds like you have a specific idea on what you want.

It's your life and your relationship who givz a flock what others think.


IMO it is good to have standards.

Now, what are your standards on personality?

Confidence?
Respect? (Does he beat women)

A wide range of people could have all of the above traits(e.g. sociopaths)

Something to think about.

I skimmed over this thread late last night and missed some things. OP claims she is quality and gets quality, but then creates this thread anyway. Something just doesn't add up.

I Re-read your op. You did mention something about great personality.

Add reading comprehension (which I seem to lack) to your list of standards.

She's currently dating 4 men that meet those standards.

Obviously they do exist.

I know quite a few that meet her requirements as well.

My best male friend fits the bill. He's 36, a project manager in IT, earns low 6 figures, has a master's degree, is 5'll, blue-eyed light brown hair, works out and is an avid cyclist. He has a widow's peak. I don't know if it's the start of a receding hair line, but his dad had all his hair. He knows how to party, has a ton of friends, loves his mom. He rules. He's currently single, dating only for the summer, but his last gf was just like him. She was very active (aerial dance, runner, cyclist, hard as a rock), has a JD, and works as an attorney. They broke up after 5 years and she's trying to get him back. I thought she was crazy for letting him go. Not only is he all that, but he's good; a good man.

My best male friend fits the bill as well. He has a runners build, is 6'1 or so, has a BSN and is working on his Masters in Nursing, makes good money and will only be making more as a trauma nurse once he finishes school and he's a pretty fantastic person. His fiancee is pretty wonderful as well. My other guy friend works out, has a degree, works as a teacher and makes pretty good money (owns his own house/car etc.). These men aren't difficult to find.

You live in the Boston area, just riding on the T during commute times and there are ALWAYS ridiculously good looking men, and I'm guessing successful based on their clothing, around.

Yea, our area of the country is ripe with young, successful people. Although, we're all home today. How are you holding up? I hope they catch him today.

Ugh. Been cooped up all day, everything is sooo quiet. I was out with a date last night and we were hanging out in Harvard square just before the big manhunt started. Really freaked me out this morning.
