When people say 9s and 10s I think Calvin Klein or Victoria Secret model, so I'm sure that is unrealistic.

For the rest of us mortals the highest number starts at 8.

Exactly, my point being that she'll need to go with a mere mortal, herself.

There are many of us 9's and 10's that do not work in the modeling industry, or anything related to that.

Where I come from, OP can be considered an 8 or a 9 depending on the man's preferences.

I once overheard some girl say that she thought I was an "8".....LOL, maybe 20 yrs ago....

IDK... I have no interest really in women who are exceptionally pretty..

I was out at lunch with some co-workers a few days ago and this fabulous woman walked by, tall, beautiful, perfect figure, prefect hair, nice little sundress on. The whole 9 yards.... I mean people stopped at stared at this woman......




I wonder if she has a good heart......, I hope she does... cause it would be a killer combo to have....

I never put too much stock in looks.... they are fleeting. You need much more than that to run in my circle.

It's like an awesome book cover with blank pages inside.


Now attraction is a MUST.

That's where you come from. Western European men would regard her as an overweight American. Not trying to be mean, but it is what it is. Drop 20, and it might be different.

Qualities
1) Handsome European (not just a merely attrative 6/10 in looks but the top)
2) Career-minded like me
3) Likes traveling
4) Great personality and isn't into the sex double standard.... overall is a nice person
5) No party animal, stud nor one that drinks and/or smokes heavily
6) Wants marriage but NO KIDS
Your list is entirely reasonable IF you have the looks to appeal to such a man. It already sounds like you have the ambition to match what you're seeking.

My ideal matches are about 1 in 10,000, so there are about 18,000 in the USA - if I could find them. Actually, I found enough using dating sites, but you may have better luck with professional organizations and business conferences.

Sorry, you come off as a "flake" in your posts. It's fine to have certain standards, but your list is going to severely limit the available pool of dating material. First focus on quality - the outer qualities can initially be altered with time and $$, no amount of time and money will ever change someone's inner qualities. Looks fade, what is left behind is what you will have to put up with every second you are with that person. You're young now, but at some point things will start to deteriorate on your facade that no amount of money can fix - when the shoe is on the other foot, will you be so critical then? In other words, take a good look in the mirror, honey.

True...

It takes time to find something specific, that's not too common than something generic. I just hope it doesn't take too much time. The older I get, the harder it will be.
