Some unrealistic expections or high standards you have to put with when dating? (women, attracted)

[Mr.Professional]

I know the minute I start a relationship or dating with a girl/women I have experience wayyyy unrelatic expectations

Family must own a sucessful business

Must have a specific height

Must be exact same age

Must make 100k

Must be okay with not seeing each for quite some time workacholic status

Must be okay with waiting a really long time to meet up

Must be okay with an abusive attitude

Must have a lot in common

This hasnt been the case with every girl i dated i met very few but my mind blows when i come across woman like this

You guys have experience anything like this?

Looks like your picker needs a tune-up if you run into this a lot. Everyone runs into dingbats with ludicrous expectations--women, too--but if it happens to you more than once in a while, something is drawing you to these ridiculous people in the first place.

I probably have...but men don't normally share with me the expectations I have not met. They just never contact me again.

(shrug) I'm not supposed to consider that a loss, am I?

The $100k requirement is just out there in Lalaland. How old were these women? Did they have jobs? How bizarre.

I honeslty do not think I have ever had anyone with higher than realistic expectations.
Maybe I am just lucky

$100K is fairly reasonable if they live in a major city, just not if they are still dating recent college grads.

No it isn't. Very few people make that kind of money.

What is it about you that attracts this type of woman? Maybe you should do do self-examination because if you have been in a relationship with more than one that expects a man to meet all of these requirements, there is something going on with you being attracted to them in the first place.

It's not that much money if you live in a major city. Who do you think is buying the $500-$700K houses?
