That's a interesting way of putting it, but I pretty much agree.

I miss the height requirement by one inch, but fit the others (though attractive is subjective), but no way I would date the OP. Too yuppyish and materialistic thinking for me, it just wouldn't work out.

The op should move to cities with no short supply of Yuppie men she desires like SF, NYC, Boston, DC, Chicago, Seattle, Austin. great thing about Yuppie type guys is that they are always in demand by women and quite a few Yuppie men sleep around with multiple women when dating or in relationships.

- physically fit. He needs to have a nice tight body. He needs to be physically active or working out regularly.
- good looking. This part is self explanatory. Cute face is mandatory. No balding head.

So far, I have no problem finding guys described above. I have actually dated a few of them. I think what I'm looking for is reasonable. I think it's what most of the girls are looking for in a guy. What do you guys think?


Well, you might prove your friends wrong, but it's going to be considerably harder with a high percentage of men eliminated from the pool of what you consider ideal. Your "perfect match" might not come in the package you think it comes in. You may even wake up one day, perhaps when it's too late, and realize that one or more of your must-haves aren't that important or necessary. Like, are you really going to pass on a good looking guy with a good job because he's 5'7" or because he has 25 credit hours left to complete his degree program?


edit: wow, and you're petite/little? Quite shallow indeed.

I think your standards are fine, considering you have no problem 'finding' guys described above. By 'finding' I assume you mean that these guys are interested in you and ask you out.

If you're not attracted to him, you're not attracted to him.

Sounds like some of your friends are making you feel guilty because you won't go out with who they think you should go out with.

As some have said, as people get older what is important to them may change, but learning through dating is certainly one way to figure out what is important to you. It's entirely possible you'll meet a guy who checks off all your requirements and is a great person. Again, my only caveat would be if these guys aren't truly showing interest in you, then it may be time to mix it up.

Your standards are your standards. Period.

If we tell you they are too high, you plan on lowering them?

I hope you feel better about yourself now, because this seems like nothing but a vanity thread. Posting a "not" problem as a problem. Asking a question, when you have no reason to change if the answers indicate you should...... I honestly don't get the point to the thread.

Essentially, "Everything is great!!! Should I change?"

Considering you live in Southern California, your standards are typical IMO. Sounds like my group of guy friends, of course we were the jocks in high school

College degree: What kinda male or even female doesn't have a college degree in this day & age?
Atleast 5'9': The average height of a full grown white male in the USA is 5 foot 10
Physically fit: In Southern California, ''most'' people are physically active. Gym membership

Good looking/Personality: This is kinda in the eye of the beholder. If you said a funny guy with humor, that would be more understandable.


I don't think your standards are bad at all. Sounds like the description of a typical male that stays on top of his life (height aside).

This is the point. She's from southern California, her standard is reasonable in my opinion.

I tried to post a message on another forum, one idiot replied, "Your opinion doesn't count because you are from Newport Beach where everybody is a yuppie with sense of entitlement issue."



To me, this is discrimination.
