That is an direct quote from an online profile on Match I saw the other day. The woman who wrote it is 33 years old.
Just a reminder to myself why online dating is a fool's errand. Cra- Cra- Crazy expectations. No thanks, I'll stick to real life and meet people in the real world.
That woman doesn't only exist on the dating site. You could meet her in the real world too. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with what she wrote. She's allowed to want what she wants.
Hope her Disney a$& is ready to be single forever with that attitude.
Why is that a problem? Haven't you made similar sentiments that you don't want to settle for someone that you don't want and you're ok with being single? Are you going to change your mind when you get older and settle for an "ugly" woman?

That was what my dating life is like, the interested choices I have suck so bad being single is the best choice. I’m not going to potentially sacrifice my decent life to end up with some ugly woman.

Sure. But it's important to note that people like that want the ideal, the perfect spouse. Yet life isn't like that. Hey, my wife is amazing, but she's also a real person with those personality tics that I had to learn to deal with. Meanwhile, I wasn't any picnic either. Yet people who think in this addled-brained "fairy tale" ideal is likely to be disappointed when that person turns out to not completely live up to the ideal she imagined.

I only take it to mean that she wants the perfect person for HER.

That woman wants a fairy tale (which ain’t reality.) I want a decent looking woman (realistic.) Very different.

A lot of women here think where asking too much when we even say that lol..trust me I've been chastised just for saying I can't be with a women I find unattractive physically.
The quote can be interpreted many different ways. Yeah what she wants may be very unrealistic or a "fairy tale" to her could simply be someone she's attracted (which could be anything). Who knows? It affects no one but her.
The only people who would be offended by this are probably insecure or feel like they don't match up. I don't see her going in or insulting men personally. If she was I'd be more critical.

Agreed. To me it just sounds like the sort of comment that a hopeless romantic would make, but it doesn't mean that she's holding out for the perfect man. If the rest of her profile appealed to me, that comment wouldn't have bothered me. There are far worse things that people could write.
