You know what, he does not LOL

It was a picture taken by the sea. He is wearing a blue shirt with glasses on. He was sitting on a chair, but I don't think people change their looks in six years though.

What a track record. Maybe he should have been playing the ponies instead.
Online dating doesn't count. If he were still in college though, you might have a point.

Well, six years later, I went back to match.com because I recently became available again.
I found this doctor and obviously he is still there on match.com

I contacted him and very quickly got a reply. I told him that I remembered him six years ago and obviously, he did not have much luck on this site, I also asked him some general questions here and there. He told me the reason he did not find anybody on this site is because he was way too picky. He said none of the dates progressed to date three.

Well, he sounds like a gentleman, but I am afraid he has some underlying issues he did not disclose. How can you be on a dating site and all the women you've seen cannot even pass the third dates. Am I wasting my time for even continuously talking to him? Your thoughts thanks
Why did you bother contacting him? And he's no worse off than you. Six years later and you are both back on Match.com. If you contacted him because you are now interested why don't you just ask him out?

They change their looks in a couple of years.

This guy sounds like a bad bet.

He has to meet them off line.

There. He has told you what's wrong with him. He expects too much out of other people. Unless and until he changes and comes back down to earth, he's going to remain single and no one will get past the second date. You'll be no different.

Has nothing to do with it. Has to do more with the medium.

I once had a chick chastising me because I wasn't ramping up the email conversation. I'm guessing that meant she wanted me to talk sexual. That's not me. I prefer to just have fun and let things fall into place on their own.

So take all the normal things someone like a doctor would eliminate people for:

-looks
-education
-innate level intelligence
-personality type

This is a small pool to begin with. By definition a doctor is going to be in the top 10% of the population in terms of intelligence. If that's important to you, that means you need someone roughly in the 85% to 95% range of the scale. That eliminates 90% of the population (85% not intelligent enough; 5% who are too intelligent)

Out of that 10% who would be compatible with you intellectually, you also need to find someone who you find attractive, who is your personality type, who has a compatible set of values, who has a compatible lifestyle.

Now let's throw someone who is a non-Christian into the mix. You're potential mates are limited even further

It's not an easy task for someone who is looking for an equal.

Never assume that because someone has a medical degree, he or she is any more brilliant than anyone else. As the joke goes "someone had to graduate last in the class."
