[a real Sheila]

I have a single, female, 42-yr old friend who is all that you just described. If she meets a man who is handsome and successful, he isn’t “spirital enough” for her. If she meets a man who is handsome and religious, he doesn’t make enough money. Etc. She has even dated a few guys who seemed to meet all the criteria, yet she’d pick them apart on something like “He doesn’t yearn to travel the world like I do!”

She also has a lot of issues regarding her diet. She is a food Nazi.

I say don't settle.... BUT, you have to have a solid list of what you will not compromise on and be ready to compromise on everything else.

A friend of mine is the same. He finally has a girl friend longer than 3 weeks. She isn’t really his type but she’s loaded so I guess he’s settling.
