I don't do those things. Fishing and golf bore the crap out of me. And there's not much challenge in blasting a duck or a deer from fifty yards away in a concealed position. I sail, bike, and shoot.
I have a couple friends in their late 30's who are so picky. One of my friends finally decided to get serious with this one guy and has been dating him for over a year (despite not meeting her "criteria") but she is so high-maintenance I think he should dropped her like a hot potato! My other friend will probably be single forever. Income is a big thing for her even though she has a great job. She has passed up a lot of nice, attractive men just because they don't make a six figure income. Both of these women are attractive but not super models.

Thank you. Seriously. I hate the assumption made when one is clean-cut and is in a coat and tie/suit environment that they ALSO play golf. In all seriousness, golf courses tend to be filled with the same people I wouldn't have hung out with 20 years ago. It's a pretentious sport with the whole "country club" thing and it's not good exercise. Eating the kill such as duck, venison or rabbit is not at all tasty, so no hunting here. Fishing could be ok as I could eat trout or swordfish or salmon, but wouldn't want to go through all that trouble.
I'd rather be swatting tennis balls, swimming, camping or tinkering under the hood of my car.

I guess $ 99,900 a year, especially in this robust economy, is a deplorable income. Sheez. And you're in lower-cost Wisconsin, it seems. If they have a problem like this, I have a friend from the Bronx who works her butt off as an insurance adjuster and she says "Get it yourself" about these women.
So when I said, "Ellen, that's a pretty tall order there," she said, "Well, I'm just looking for my Knight In Shining Armor." And she said it without a hint of irony.
Tell her she's been watching one too many Disney movies.
What she's looking for is a sugar daddy and unless she wants to play the tramp, I suggest she find a more realistic goal. My husband is by far from perfect but if I nit-picked every bad quality, I would've never married him. Instead, we compromised and it has worked out so far.
1) Divorced. She doesn't want baggage or step kids.
2) Guys Who Aren't Financially well-off. Because an ordinary guy pulling an ordinary salary just won't hack it. She had dated a carpenter for a while, but worried about his money, even though he bought a house in a nice part of town and renovated it himself.
3) Guys whose religious beliefs don't align almost precisely with hers.
4) Guys who hunt, fish, or golf.
.
I agree with #1 and #2 (though the carpenter story makes no sense - sounds like he is motivated and hard-working). I would not want to support someone else and I would not want a divorced person if it could be helped.
Religious beliefs...well, I guess that is really important to some people (who are usually super-religious), but I say as long as it doesn't cause arguments, who cares?
As to hunting/fishing/golfing...well, I do know a lot of women who never get to see their husbands on the weekends and that pains them. Avoiding this group might help with that, but they could have some other hobby that would have the same effect. Maybe she could get over herself and pick up a hobby to share with him so it's not just all about her all the time.
Meanwhile, I want a double-jointed deaf-mute millionaire supermodel with a brewery and a hydroponic grow rig in her basement. Must not only watch football, but root for the Pack.
