Lets break down the men's comments! The comments are in red, because red flags everywhere in that thread.
This was titled Nothing but demands, wtf
There is nothing demanding about this. (I like cats, but you do you stranger trying to find her match). This is the basic minimum for being an adult male, and yet a lot of men are in some kind of stunted, lifelong childhood.
Well shucks, I'm a multi milionare and fit everything else but I cheated on my agebra test in 3rd grade. Tough crowd out there.
That's not what she meant by cheating. Way to make a strawman arguement.
My Mexican restaurant chain that I created 3.5 years ago while loving with me parents just IPO’d. Now I have all this wealth, and no one to spend it on
Oh no, this woman missed out on a sugar daddy. A man whose only value is his money. A true loss.
Plot twist, the man of her dreams is 5'6" and she's such a piece of shit she chooses to stay single.
What's with men thinking women are missing out. What she is describing is the bare minimum for men, there probably is a man over 5'6 who is capable of meeting her standards. Also, choosing to stay single isn't a bad thing.
For OP; she is 35.. almost midlife if she goes on with that attitude she will either be alone or chained some poor guy down.. who knows maybe she will drop some of her demands over time.. hope the guy has his own thing for him and manages to endure her shit and maybe they will be happy till..
Oh no, her age is 35. Lets scare women with fake expiry dates so that they lower their standards. Also, these standards will prevent her from "chaining some poor guy down"
Recipe for a single woman.
Yep, fill the standards or no one. Again, being a single woman isn't bad. Almost every single culture needs women to settle so that there isn't more single men causing trouble in society.
I'd kill for a roommate again even at 36
A man wishing to make life easier for himself, probably a 50/50 guy. Watch out, future girlfriend, you have to pay for half of everything and do all of the emotional and mental load of the relationship.
Ah yes, the ol’ “I bring nothing to the table” tactic. It’s a bold move cotton, let’s see if it pays out for her.
Women are the table. And you obviously have nothing to bring to her.
What’s wrong with women like this? She will be forever single!
Oh no forever single because men can't step up and be adults. Single is the better outcome.
Oh boy. Why on earth is she still single. Such a miracle.
Wow, this is like the fourth comment about being single. Nothing inventive or innovative about this insult. Society hates a single woman.
Some women have these ridiculous demands that only less than 10% of men have.
Really? 10% of men? Did you pull that one out of your ass?
just write her: any guy with those requirements would just go for a pretty 21 year old girl, no need for 35 anymore
I guess she should just drop all those standards and settle for anyone because her so-called competition is 21 years old and she's hit her expiry date. That's really stupid.
I'm so sick of this height thing being acceptable (I'm 6'2" so it's not personal.)
Oh look, it's a tall man simping for his shorter brothers. He's going to white knight for them.
I had a list like this in my 20s. I have been happily married for two decades to a guy who didn’t meet any of my standards, but I decided to go on a second date with even though our first date was kind of lame.
I subscribed to this Reddit after some funny posts came up in my feed. Now it just reminds me that I never want to date again.
With dating doing it longer than others doesn’t always mean you are better at it.
Huh, first pickme woman in this thread. Good for you for settling when it worked for you. However, you are not an exemption makes the rule.
Yoooo I totally fit the criteria.
Except the "Are awkward in person, takes initiatives, anime"
Dang
She really missed out there on a man who won't plan dates and is bad at conversation. She missed out on a man who is going to regale you with a long winded synopsis of whatever he's watching at the moment, plus some kind of analysis of plot and characters and how that character looks like a 7 year old but is a thousand year old dragon so romance and sex with a child is okay.
I didn't count how many comments insulted being single or her age. Probably over ten. This is what the dating pool is right now, folks.
It is time for me to post this comment again:
Men like those commenting have this fantasy in their head that when we’re much older, we’re going to look back and think “Damn, I really regret not settling for that man who took me to Starbucks for a first date and got me a cup of water. I would just be soooooo much happier with him right now.” It doesn’t happen like that. Our world does not revolve around them like their world revolves around us. We can find happiness elsewhere.
No surprises there. She's not asking for a lot, even my LV ex fits those criteria except the height. But people will shame women to the moon and back for having standards. Oh well.
It's like.... Move the hell out the way if you don't fit the criteria, no need to be butthurt
Most of those are reasonable. The "don't love Mexican food" is a bit weird to have for a standard given that it's a personal preference.
They call women emotional when men are more dramatic and more emotional then women 🙄
When I was briefly on OLD and a profile said no kids, must want kids, I just swiped by. Please drop the drama boys, none of this is hard.
Her standards are perfectly reasonable. The men giving out about it are clearly LVM who think that a woman asking ANYTHING of them is entitlement.
Meh. Her standards are normal, but she doesn't strike me as HV. There is at least one glaring grammatical error in the first sentence of her profile, and an HVM would pick up on that as quickly as I did.
It's vital to have standards (again, I think hers are perfectly reasonable), but I don't think it's a good strategy to reveal your hand so early on a dating site. Listing her dealbreakers in this manner will not attract HVM, even if HVM agree with her dealbreakers.
I'll bet $100 she's still unvoluntarily single (or, worse yet, with a man she settled for) in 5 years simply because this strategy does not work, especially not on HVM.
Even I can meet those standards and I'm a female. Maybe we need to marry ourselves since men are a bunch of whiny children.
If there was a busload of great guys pining over 21 year olds there would be no unmarried willing women aged 35. It is pure fiction. No man who is right in the head feels good about a 10+ year age gap. It is weird and awkward and people will look at him like he is a loser or has a mental deficit if he brings someone that much younger into his friend and work circle. They will also pity the girl.
Her standards are reasonable but the thing is first impressions count a lot. The tone of your dating profile gives an impression of the kind of person you are. Listing all of your standards without really saying anything about yourself makes you come off as crazy.
Imagine a guy did this. I don't know about you, but i'm swiping left
This is hilarious. Well done! Such a great down of the comments. The 'plot twist' comment about the height requirement is so stupid - she's literally said the man of her dreams ISN'T 5'6". But I guess these scrotes know what's best for her, and all women = not being single, and not having standards.
brilliant 🔥 this made my day
This is not our dating pool, Queens. Keep those standards high and raise them higher!
Men on dating sites NEVER believe you if you say you don't want kids 🙄
What kind of MONSTER won't date a man with cats!?!? That is IT! Women with standards have gone TOO FAR!
MMA and UFC and stuff like that are one of the biggest red flags for me. I feel like this is all pretty reasonable.
