[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I notice that a lot of DC women require that a man have a college degree from a good school or they will not consider him.

You almost never hear men with this requirement, even those who want LTRs.

Remember, a youngish man with a degree from a good school, who is six feet tall, who is in good shape, who is funny and a has decent personality represents maybe 1-2% of men in this country, and he has a lot of options. Do honestly feel that you are in the top 1-2% of women (from a man's perspective)?

Wow, really? My husband is about 5'10" but otherwise met all those criteria when we first met, and I'm certainly not in the top 1 or 2% of women in this contry.  Maybe I married up?[/quote]

5'10" is much more common (not that this diminishes his, or your value, in any way).

I just did a quick Google search and found that 14 percent of men are estimated to be six feet, or over (not sure how this survey was done, but that sounds about right). Between 25 and 30 percent of men have bachelors degrees.

So, just those two requirements alone limit you to 3-5 percent of men. That's not even getting in to the percent who are in shape, are funny are great in the sack, etc.

My point is that, what a lot of DC women regard as merely adequate is actually a statistical outlier.[/quote]
