I find it odd when some brag that they have no standards.
"My only requirement is just not overweight", and "Just has to be a nice person, that's it".
Because those are rare qualities these days, especially to find in the same person.
but at least those qualities are actually in the control of that woman, unlike requirements of specific levels of employment and income(which are at the whim of an HR department). or education level (not intellect) which depends on whether his parents could afford to send him to college or if he was willing to put himself in dept for student loans.

Lol. "Not overweight" and "nice" are rare qualities? Really? And let's not go down that silly road of assuming the qualities and traits "women" look for are simply stats. It's simply not the case. There are also men here, or former active members, that preferred women of a certain educational background and SES, so it's not a "women" thing. There are also plenty of women that don't place a premium on formal education and SES. Like, most of my friends who are married to enlisted servicemembers prior to going back to school and men who gained expertise in a tech field through self-studies, and men without formal education that possess all the qualities and traits they value.
I tried not to dwell excessively on it. All I really tried to do was live my life best I can. Do things I enjoy doing, and try to treat others the way I want to be treated, and let the chips fall where they may. I finally met The One, albeit in a different country, but that's great too. I tried-didn't always succeed, at letting frustration get to me. I know that in this forum i haven't always put my best foot forward. so I do need to "mend fences" a bit. Let's see what happens:
In the dating world, when things aren't going well, or when things go poorly, men need to take a look at themselves and figure out what they are doing wrong. Let's be honest, it's men-and only men- that are to blame for what's wrong in the dating world. Women almost never act poorly, and the rare times they do,m it's only in response to some awful thing the man has done. I read about women being gold-diggers, game players, selfish, etc, but the truth is, there are zero women who behave that way in reality, whereas stories about men being shallow, egotistical, whoredogs, immature lazy low-lifes, well those men DO exist in reality, and lots of them!. Why is that? not sure- I think it has to do with the fact that women are vastly superior human beings.
It wouldn't be Saturday night, 2 days before Christmas
if All Ya'll wasn't complaining about your p!$$ poor luck at dating.
However, eyes on the prize, guys... and gals.
I'mma jump in the shower and put on my best cologne,
go out tonight and place my bet on the roulette wheel one more time
when you get tired of the chase, you can always get a dog or cat. I promise they will lick your face and wag their tail when they see you, even if nobody else will.
She has a point, though; on this forum, a LOT of guys complaining about not being able to get dates protest loudly as soon as someone suggests they go for average women.

I don’t disagree, my gripe was her saying “all” as in all men feel that way which is ridiculous.
