[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A ton of my friends met good guys after 30, but often it was through online dating. So you need to get comfortable with that.

Also, make sure your standards aren't unrealistic.  I have a bunch of unhappily single friends.  They are ALL looking for: a tall (over 6'0"), fit, handsome white guy with good hair, who is successful, educated, articulate, not weird, has friends, has a nice family, has socially acceptable hobbies and treats them like a queen.  (i.e. pays for every date, plans romantic dates), etc.

This guy is a f*cking unicorn.  There's like 3 guys who fit that description after a certain age, and they have their pick of women.  So if this is what you are looking for, you may need to relax your standards a bit.[/quote]

NP - I was divorced with 2 kids and tried on-line dating.  I had set all the filters set in the way you've described and I did have plenty of dates with guys who broadly fell into this category.  But there was always some big flaw that showed up in the first meet or in the rare times I accepted a 2nd date.  One day I unchecked the box on race and well, I my now DH's profile popped up.  He fits this description for height, is very handsome, has a great career, is well educated, is articulate (in 3 languages), has a strong (and nice) family, etc., etc. The difference is that we isn't white. Boy, thank goodness I unchecked that box b/c I hit the lottery.[/quote]
