Sphinxpoet, those things are not necessarily hard to find. I think that it's just that SOME women (and men for that matter) are unwilling to COMPROMISE. I mean, like many have posted, there are things that one is just NOT going to compromise, but we HAVETO be willing to work with deficits. Heck, AAALLLL of us have them so why would we expect too much from others?
I have a friend who is 31 (almost 32), single, educated, pretty, intelligent, you know all that wonderful stuff and she wants to be married and she wants to have children---or so she SAYS. The problem with that is she is sooooo freaking picky, not just about men, but about EVERYTHING. A man can have all of these beautiful qualities---height, muscles, intelligent conversation, God-fearing, etc., etc.----but she will find SOMETHING that's "wrong" with him. I'm always like, what now? Sometimes we miss out on our opportunity for happiness, and I mean TRUE HAPPINESS, with someone because we get soooo caught up in our own expectations. It's really, really sad. I was much like that when I was younger. But I'm glad that I got out of that. She's getting older and more set in her ways. And if we (and I mean women in particular) get to that point, believe me, Girlfriend, there are going to be a whole lot of OLD-MAIDS hanging around. I truly believe that even if one has good looks, a successful career, their own home, money in the bank, the latest fashions, a bomb hair-do, etc., etc., what does it REALLY mean if you can't SHARE that with someone significant (because I KNOW that for MOST people the "dating scene" gets boring after a while). NOTHING'S better than being the object of one specific person's affection. NOTHING'S better than being the apple of one specific person's eye. I just know that MY friend has a lot of soul-searching to do when it comes to finding a mate.
Besides, no matter how "PRETTY" a dude (or lady) may LOOK, I can guarantee that he has SOMETHING wrong with him---bad breath, crooked toe, tongue too long, pimples, snoring, stupid laugh, "buck" teeth, gap,----SOMETHING!!!!!
We (and I mean the population as a whole because I'm already married) need to "get a clue" and get REAL about what it REALLY means to find a good mate. I'm BLESSED that I found out BEFORE I turned 25.
