The very requirements outlined show the flaws in the concept and reveal the reason why some women who don't want to be single still are single.
On children: not to be crude, but why is a single guy with no kids better than a single guy with children? Are we supposed to assume that he's had no sex or only safe sex to date? That the fact that he was with a woman who elected not to carry her fetus to term bumps him to a better category than if she'd decided to have little Ray-Ray?
On college: do they have to have an only an AA, only a BA or an advanced degree? I'm not clear.
Here's the fundamental issue-- even with all those "qualifications" it will still not be enough for most women. With all that, he'll also need to be sexy or funny or tall or well built or BGLO member, or popular or whatever. And the few who fulfill the ENTIRE package will be inundated with responses and will probably end up rotating two or three women.
Having said all that, I do have a boyfriend who meets and exceeds all the basic criteria for BlackTieMan.com. But you know, if he didn't treat me with love and respect, none of his "qualifications" would mean a thing.

Nice response. In terms of the kids issue, it does elevate the man's status for certain women if he's not got a whole bunch of little Ray-Rays and Shamalekas around.
But your best point relates to how your boyfriend treats you. My ex-companion met the BlackTieMan.com criteria, but he was not there when I was lying up in the hospital recovering from painful surgery
That's one of many reasons why it petered out and I've been single for nearly three years.
