Let's be fair.
Some of us are WAAAAAAAAAAAY more picky than other people.
In my 37 years on this planet, I have only met 2 people I'd even consider spending my life with.
And I am friends/colleagues with many, many accomplished, wealthy, smart, good-looking, funny, nice, generous people. Most people on dating websites don't even have one or two of those qualities.
So 6 years to find the right person is peanuts.
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."
exactly. Not to mention all these other qualities women are looking for.
I once dated a PhD who does not even know how to make a simple chicken soup.

Yeah. The way I've heard it:
Q: What do you call the person who placed last in their medical school class?
A: Doctor.

If that makes you feel better, but the dynamics are what we told you they are. Someone who is a doctor is probably going to be a smart cookie. Do you think he's going to have anything in common with the Service Desk cashier at Kmart? Your lives are going to be completely different.
If you start out with only about 10% of the population being people you're compatible with, by the time you filter people through your other criteria, the universe gets very small.
Let's say the guy is insanely intelligent. Then filter for looks, personality, religious beliefs, pleasant disposition, lack of dysfunction, someone lightly used (if you know what I mean) ...

Well, my brother was told he was at a 120 IQ, plus or minus 10 which I think is about right (120 through 130). That puts him in the 90th through the 97th percentile. I don't know my IQ, but I know I'm quicker than he is (he got the looks). He married in his mid thirties to someone who is also pretty smart, or at least she has a graduate degree and shares the same religious beliefs (traditional) and has no dysfunction (other than being wound a little too tight).
Like searching for a designer dress in the bargain bin. A needle in a haystack.
In fairness to the OP, he also may be an arrogant, controlling jerk, may have some personality tics, or may have some kind of other dysfunction. He may also be shy and have other things going on. Like every other question on this board, you won't know until you get to know him.
