Is anyone else lonely because of their standards?

Call it shallow, but their has to be both a mental and physical attraction before I even think about dating a girl. I feel like one of the reasons why i'm lonely is because of my standards, and my refusal to go any lower than them.

It's either you're praised for determination or scolded for taking it too seriously. What do you think and what do you have to say about it?

Looks wise, I would date any woman. As long as they look after themselves. (Obviously a woman who smells is a definate 'no')

Personality wise is a bit different. I wouldn't date a 'loud mouth', say somebody who swore a lot. Or a racist.

A woman who I have my eye on at the moment has more facial hair than me. She is sweet though with a nice smile.

I'm lonely because of society's standards that make me appear undesirable physically.

I'd definitely prefer a high educated woman, though. A Masters degree would be PERFECT! Glasses would be a serious plus.

I have standards. I wanted someone who didn't abuse me. I wanted someone I could get along with. And I wanted someone who loved me for me. Those are my standards.

I have standards when It comes to women but I don't thinks its why I'm alone I want a woman thats healthy... that means no smoking and they have to atleast look after their shape a little bit. It depends how mentally unhealthy they are, everyones a little crazy... right?

I was for a very long time, I had very stringent, very high standards and didn't meet anyone who came close for years. I don't think there is anything wrong with people having high standards or a 'type', though some times those standards can get to unreasonable levels that no one can live up to. Mine were approaching that, but I realized as long as the 'core' standards were met, I could compromise on the rest.

I think I don't even know what my standards are, much less apply them, lol. I can't for the life of me figure out, 'what my type is', yet oddly enough I think I used to have one.

I could agree that it is possible that the traits I am attracted to are more rare than is prudent. That being said I am not interested into simply "dating". When I begin a relationship with a woman it is longevity that I want. I think that is what it comes down to for me. There is a "date" type, and there is a "relationship" type. I sometimes get the feeling that folks are into serial dating. Society is different in this age. Standards for normal are changing by the year. God help all us poor saps who didnt find our significant others in High School/College. Good luck and happy hunting to all!
