[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ask myself this question. On the surface of it I never thought I was too picky. I don't care about height or income that much.

That said, when I do think of the things I want in a date (let alone a partner, that has to come with time), it does seem to narrow things down too much for the pool of men out there:

- Gainfully employed and financially stable
- Independent adult
- Takes care of himself... weight and body type matter less than just being healthy and caring for yourself
- Not overly religious
- Not a MAGA
- Height doesn't matter but preferably taller than me (5'5)
- Some physical attraction in some way
- Wants a long-term relationship
- Wants to settle down, can make up his mind
- Not socially awkward/overly introverted/basement dweller/complete weirdo

It's extremely difficult to find a single man who satisfies all of those especially the last one

I also always thought I brought enough to the table, I'm conventionally attractive, thin, fun, social, financially secure. BUT, I think I have enough things that turn off men, which are: sexual anxiety, general anxiety where I see a therapist, not the greatest housekeeper/too scatterbrained, my cooking is too spicy, too inflexible about some things, too high-strung. Yeah there's no way somebody with all my flaws is going to find someone who checks all the above boxes. At least I have a dog. [/quote]

Sounds like your therapy isn’t helping and is just keeping you anxious.

I dated plenty of men who met all of your requirements and am socially awkward.  [/quote]
