Everybody looks for perfection. There's nothing wrong with that. The problem comes from refusing to consider anybody who is not perfect
Guys have three advantages over women. The first is that it's still expected for the guy to do the asking, and face the rejections. This discourages overweight plumbers from persuing Victoria's Secret models after a while. It provides a feedback mechanism to correct delusions.
The second is that a guy's friends are less likely to lie to him with "Oh, you're much too good for that ---" and "Don't worry, the perfect one will come along soon".
Third is that the average guy will prefer to sleep with a less-than-perfect woman, than sleep alone. The "chopped liver" executive sounds like she would rather be alone than be with somebody who does not meet her standards -- which means she will be alone.
The problem with having rigid "no-go" standards is that it constrains the set of people you would consider dating. If that set of people does not contain anybody who would be interested in dating YOU, then you're out of luck and alone
And the women who delude themselves that Prince Charming is out there (when they themselves are not Sleeping Beauty), are going to grow old alone
Here here! Bravo!
Prince Charming has to be out there, just kidding, you forgot to mention the man that makes you laugh.
I agree
Unfortunately, with the prevalence of modern-day FemiNazis on all the campuses these days and the standard sitcom male-as-incompetent-loser characterization of us, ALL females view themselves as Sleeping Beauty, and refuse to contemplate a relationship with a male that is any iota less than her previously-fixated standards has mandated. I have bitten My tongue more times than I care to mention when I have overheard a female complaining to another about how some male did not meet her standards in one way or another, never realizing that I was so grinding My teeth not to say "Hey, YOU are no Vision Of Perfection yourself, you tent-wearing beachball!"
