Uhhh....how are we going to do that on an anonymous forum? |

That is strange that both of you don’t know how to connect - sounds like you are indeed a good match. I met one of my best friends on an anonymous forum like this one. We really liked each other’s messages and decided to connect in real life. One of us shared a disposable email address, and another one emailed from her actual email address, and we met in person and have been close friends for 26 years since then! |

At 5'0" I would start height at 5'5" to get more options.
Take off any pictures of you with your niece or any other people in the picture. If you don't have kids already, you don't want to be pictured with kids. Would also open you age range to 35-50, because there may be some shorter younger guys who would be interested. At this age OP, you may need to stop priotizing tall men. |

Op here. That’s a great idea! |

The posts about men not liking short women are bizarre. I’m 5’2 and have always been thin, most of my serious relationships have been with men 5’10 or taller who spoke favorably about my “petite” size.
That said I never ruled out shorter guys and being 5 ft even and not willing to entertain a shorter man is strange. Like how much taller than you do they really need to be??? |

Also height is inversely related to longevity |

Your demands make it a no for me. |

I was initially mystified at her dating difficulty when she wrote 5'0" 38F, because those are porn star statistics. Then I realized she meant 38-year-old female. She is an unrealistic white woman approaching middle age. She is bottom 10th percentile for height but wants a man of above-average height with a graduate degree. She is not overweight, but not thin, and lacks good photos. Only 11% of white women her age are not overweight (age 36-40 per realitycalc.com). Why does she deserve a top 1% man? To be fair, less than 1% of white women her age are unmarried, not overweight, and earn $130k. But men don't care as much about income. This is especially true if she becomes a homemaker after having more kids or marrying a man who also has kids. Welcome to The Brady Bunch! She won't post a throw-away email account here to meet her anonymous admirers. But here is a tip. Test your photos at PhotoFeeler.com. Find your best photos, and compare against photos of your pretty friends to see how hot you really are. I met my wife online around her 38th birthday. She is pretty, thin, and had great photos. I easily surpassed all your requirements, except being a bit older. We have two kids now. You can get far more men with lower height, higher age, and lower income. Amy Webb, author of Data: A Love Story, posted fake profiles of her ideal man on JDate. She was horrified to get many messages from younger, thinner, and prettier women. So she got professional photos and relaxed her standards. At age 34, she promptly found a husband and had a kid.
