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.
