Dating tip: Quality dates quality

Over the past month (since I left Terrence) I’ve received several offers of dates and relationships from various men who read this blog. I’m not looking for a new boyfriend right now but it seems I should clarify what it is I look for in a man when I am, which will hopefully stem the flow of offers from guys who really don’t have it.

I am a very high-quality woman. I know that sounds arrogant, but let’s consider the facts:

I’m slim (whereas 62% of American women age 20 to 74 are overweight)

I’m attractive (my new picture has been rated more attractive than 86% of the women on Hot or Not -- and the women who upload their pictures are a self-selected sample that is probably already biased towards being more attractive than the general female population)

I’m relatively young (whereas 82% of American adult women are over 30 years old)

I’m intelligent (IQ tested at 145 when I was a child, which is 3 standard deviations above the mean -- higher than 99.85% of the population. Even if I’ve gotten dumber as I’ve aged I’m probably still at least a 130, which is higher than 97.5% of the population.)

I’m educated (whereas 77% of American women do not have bachelor’s degrees)
I have my financial poo poo together (no debt, perfect credit history, 6+ months living expenses saved, adequate insurance, self employed)
I have a strong libido and love having sex (my lover *never* has to beg, unless it’s for me to let him get some sleep!)

Most of my interests tend to be more popular with men than women: science fiction, libertarianism, blogging, politics, economics, guns, gambling, etc.

Given that self-improvement is an ongoing project of mine this list will continue to grow (I’m currently working on adding bilingual, very physically fit, well-traveled, higher income, and fantastic cook to the list). So even when “relatively young” (an important criteria for most men) drops off that list, I should have added enough other things that my overall dating market value should remain the same or even improve.

The above list explains why I typically receive 50-100 (sometimes more) responses whenever I post personal ads. This is in addition to getting hit on almost every time I go out alone (and all that those men know about me is that they like the way I look, they don’t even know about all the other qualities I have that make me more appealing than most other women).

So, I have a *lot* of choices of men who want to date me. Given that, of course I choose to date only the highest quality men -- men who are also fit, attractive, intelligent, educated, financially successful, etc. I’m attracted to men from any race and a wide age range (21 to 50 or so) so the pool of men who meet those requirements is quite large, which allows me to add all sorts of additional restrictions if I want -- must be atheist, must be libertarian, must not want (more) children, must be financially independent or self-employed and available for frequent world travel, etc.

Some people scoffed at the long list of requirements in my personal ad last year. Yet in less than two weeks I found five men who met my listed requirements and wanted a relationship with me. If I were to put more time and effort into looking I could probably find hundreds of high-quality men who both met my standards and were interested in dating me too. I can be picky.

So, although I am not looking for a new boyfriend right now -- I am waiting until October, after I’ve decided where I want to live -- those are the factors that I (and many other women) keep in mind when assessing potential romantic relationships. Just having some interests in common is *far* from enough.

I realize that some of you will find this post depressing because you’ll realize that you don’t qualify as a high quality man and thus won’t be able to get a high quality woman. You have a few options:

Lower your standards and stop pursuing women who are out of your league. There are lots of fat single mothers out there who can’t find dates either.

Look in the developing world. If you’re literate with a home computer and an internet connection you are very wealthy compared to the rest of the world. Citizenship or legal permanent residency in a rich country makes you more attractive to women in poorer countries. Your value on the dating market is thus much higher there.

Self-improvement! I used to be a fat unattractive college dropout who couldn’t get her life together. Now I’m thin, attractive, and successfully self-employed after graduating. You can make yourself over into a higher-quality man capable of winning a higher-quality woman too.

Thanks to everyone who e-mailed or commented their offers, it's nice to feel wanted. Although I'm not looking for a new relationship right now (don't worry, I'll blog about it when I am), hopefully this post gave those of you who are interested a better idea of your chances in the future.

She has a freaky high forehead. AND she's a bitch. This is why she can't find a boyfriend.

Also, she may be "book smart" but when it comes to interpersonal skills, the Down Syndrome guys who bag groceries at my Shaw's are miles ahead of her.

That's quite the long face she has going on there. I was expecting some knockout hardbody with rebellious tits, legs with curves so tight they bend light, all topped off with some killer horn rimmed glasses. But this chick, I'm sorry, this high quality woman looks like most any broad I might see walking downtown on a nice day i.e. remarkably average. Methinks someone is putting far too much stock into internet fanboys who will level attention on most anything with a vagina.

Dark Angel Review (COMMENTS CONTAIN SPOILERS)

I finished watching the rest of Dark Angel last week. (Next series in the Netflix queue: La Femme Nikita.) Quickie review:

First season: Good! :)

Second season: Dumb. :( I see why the series was cancelled.


I recommend watching the first season if you, like me, are a fan of the rear end-kicking super-hero girl genre. But unless you're also a completist I don't recommend the second season at all.

Spoileriffic additional commentary in the comments.

And can anyone point me in the direction of some hot Max/Logan fan fic? Thanks.

Does she get a different HotOrNot than I do? Because I think the HotOrNot sample is less attractive than humanity in general.

"my overall dating market value should remain the same or even improve."

This killed me. SHOW ME THE SPREADSHEET!! I wonder what her "overall dating market value" would be with a hot steaming turd on her beach of a forehead. It would probably go to a 4, from the high-quality 8 it is now.

Yeah, she's crazy.

While I wouldn't call her ugly, I don't think she'd turn my head. She also doesn't seem to realize that most men want someone dumber than they are. Bragging about her intelligence is sure to be a turn off to all but the geek community, though that seems to be her main source of interest.

I guarantee that within two months of finding a man that man will have stabbed her. She's likely a tremendous self-important oval office with a battle between her self-loathing and narcissism raging within her.

She's a cutie, but..her method of detailing 'every little thing' needed in a male is pretty anal retentive. She should really just go out and try to meet people instead of getting all OCD on the online dating game.

Then again, she could also find a male that fits the requirements who also happens to love making super detailed lists for everything and end up in complete bliss.

I notice this type of over anal-retentiveness in alot of NYC professional women. It's kind of depressing. I mean, it just doesn't make for a good story to tell your kids years, if not decades, down the line about how you met your sig. other and how you fell for each other. It's too..antiseptic.

Works for me either way.

How the hell did she get an 82% on hotornot.com?

Also according to her objective criteria, I'm her superior in every possible way. Which is sad, considering that I spend most of my day drinking heavily and playing video games.
