[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a single guy and I've met women just like the OP are talking about.

The problem is they are so focused on 'who they are' or what I do that it turns me off.  I don't care if you are a successful lawyer, a doctor, etc.  That really doesn't mean much in my eyes.  I'm focusing on who you are as a person.  Are you loyal, are you fun, are you judgemental, are you materialistic, do you have a lot of friends from different social groups, do you come off as stuffy/boring, do you take yourself too seriously, are you good with kids, etc..

Then I make my decision about the kind of person you are.  I don't give a shit about your income, social status, who you know, what school you went to (besides for sports team affiliations), what degree(s) you have, or what position you hold.  So when you put all that out there, I just turn away.  That shit should be left to the "just out of college with their first real job" people.  I'm passed that.

Right.  This is the standard male opinion.  You "don't care" about who we are.  You're focusing on us as a person.  Person, meaning, you really better have a nice ass, be age-appropriate, have clear skin, an adorable, symmetrical face, long legs would be great, and excellent hair.

The other part of this is that we all want "nice" girls.  That has repeatedly been mentioned here as a male criteria (because we all know that most men are "nice" people too, who never hurt women, disparage women, hurt other people, etc.  Men are all really "nice.")  By nice, men mean that they want a woman who will respect them as the man in the relationship, have no personal baggage or issues, few insecurities (or if you have them, they should be cute, like you blush), and an agreeable disposition.

The fact is, men are just as demanding, exacting, superficial, and vicious as women when it comes to dating.  [/quote]

This may be true. But I don't hear a lot of men in their 30s and 40s complaining that they can't find a woman.

I hear a lot of women in that same age range complaining (such as in this thread).[/quote]
