I wouldn't say that she has ridiculously HIGH standards - just ridiculously SPECIFIC standards. It's like she thinks she can build her perfect mate when, in reality, people are so much more than the qualities they are made of. She could meet a guy that has all those requirements - and they might be on totally different wave lengths and not even like each other.

If only it were that 'simple', djohanna.

Attraction isn´t a rational thing, you might meet a man who has every single one of those requirements and yet not feel attracted to him.

That's probably the main issue with dating site failures. You can check a box for all kinds of qualities and interests, but it's all the other things which tie to emotions that make a relationship. Like you say, they could meet all those requirements and still be a jerk.

West coast. Lots of vegan atheists who don't like sports. Some are monogamous.

I have not read the thread, except for this page.

LMAO!

These threads crack me up.
Other than obvious things like "must not be evil" I don´t really have a checklist of requirements for the people I date. Everyone has redeeming qualities and flaws. I date based on which over-powers the other, and this is decided individually.

-would never go to a strip club, cheat, hire a sugar baby etc.
-enjoys art galleries, travelling
-is vegetarian
-doesn't like sports so much


I meet all of those requirements, except I'm not vegetarian. There are meetup groups for these types of people you seek (especially politics and vegetarians).

I suppose I'm attracted to more metrosexual types.

The exact opposite of a guy like the following:
-has a huge, unkempt beard
-is fat from spending so much time indoors playing video games, eating lots of meat, and giving no thought to what constitutes a healthy diet. likely to get heart disease.
-rowdy and undivertable attention when sports come on, namely football.
-is open about his sleaziness. has posters of bikini clad girls on his wall or computer desktop.
-has strong opinions about things he doesn't know about. posts angry, rude comments on Youtube which lack logic.
-despises vegetarians, makes fun of vegans
-despises liberals...
-has a Confederate flag on the back of his truck
-watches porn for at least an hour a day, would love to hire a camgirl if he could
-or, he's rich and has a sugar baby/mistress behind his wife's back...discretion is very important to him, to protect his reputation as a career/family man
-or, he is hipster-esque, tries to look cool in instagram shots, wears funny glasses, and only dates.
-despises police and people with money and power
Lets see

-clean shaven - CHECK (7 days a week, professional / personal choice)
-dresses well, at least tries to match - CHECK again personal choice
-is educated - CHECK Masters in Engineering
-does not follow any religion - CHECK - Personal choice
-likes socialism and thinks taxation is necessary to a properly functioning country; supports the Affordable Care Act and knows it's the same as Obamacare - CHECK personal choice
-wants a monogamous, long-term relationship - CHECK if I am in a relationship, it better be long term.
-would never go to a strip club, cheat, hire a sugar baby etc - CHECK if I am in a relationship, why would I make it unhealthy
-enjoys art galleries, travelling - CHECK - travelling frequesnt, art occasional
-is vegetarian - CHECK - turned vegetarian recently
-doesn't like sports so much - CHECK - glance thru the news to keep myself updated.

Now the thing is even if I meet your requirements, which I do, I'd like you to meet my requirements, for a perfect match

- dresses exceptionally well.
- Should be very fit.
- financially stable.
- professionally established.
- would be willing to experiment in bed.
- would be willing to satiate me 24 x 7.
- should be involved / participating in cooking (I like to cook)
- should be atleast a C or D size with a waist not to exceed 28.
