What's weird is just about every guy I know fits the OP's "high" standards - college degree, manager, fit, attractive, between 5'9 -6'2 (average male height, I think). I never considered these extremely high standards.

Your right most of the list is normal but the height was kind of funny. I have a height preference but I have never seen anyone with a cap on how tall you can be. Since I'm 5'8 it's different for me 5'9 is short.

Reason: Grammar
I think I agree with GoCUBS if you associate with people only in your socio-economic strata. It seems you're middle or upper middle class and having no trouble attracting people on the same wavelength, so your standards work out for you. Just a warning that men who have all of these qualities are a very hot commodity, so keep on your toes.
Seems shallow and too high of standards to me, esp the first one. Nothing wrong with college degree requirement so long as you meet that too, but why do they need to manage departments? Somebody might be a great technical expert, but not want to deal with politics/BS of being a manager. Not to mention what if he's a teacher or counselor? Oh that's right, that's not good enough, doesn't make enough money or not impressive sounding enough.
Also, the height thing is shallow unless you're 5'7 or higher. Kinda weird that it's 5'9-6'2" or bust, very narrow.
That said, since you're dating these guys, I have to question why even started this thread. If you're happy with these guys, I guess more power to you.

They are high standards for a normal girl, but OP sounds above average herself so I guess it's not as bad. Take a look at most of America and you'll see most guys don't fit all of that or even 2-3 of those. The reason you and few others think it's common is you hang out in yuppieville and hang out with higher status type people. Not judging you guys since I tend to hang out with those types too.
Do the math: 1/3 has college degree, say maybe 1/3 of those are manager types, fit and attractive is subjective but let's say 1/3 there too, and then height is like 1/2. There's overlap between all 4 but really to have all 4 of those would be maybe 1/5-1/10 of guys 25-35.

I get the feeling that CDR and perhaps even CD in general is a forum with a very white collar, bourgeois demographic.
Finding a man isn't like grocery shopping. Or it shouldn't be. You don't make a list and then go man shopping.
Concept of a list isn't bad at all, I myself have one and I think everyone has one, even subconsciously. The problem is when you don't meet the items on your list yourself or you focus on the wrong attributes, or your list is too specific and/or contradictory.
