Are your dating standards too high or too low?

[Dionysus]

I hinted at this earlier. I'm desperately seeking someone with the same level ambition. As for education, a bachelor's degree is fine. I'm three months away from getting my Master's, I usually attract those with community/career college educations (if I'm lucky). I consider my level of ambition to be average (perhaps realistic). I'm seeking a 9 to 5 job, and starting a small business on the side when I graduate. I attract those with really low ambition (doesn't mind working at a gas station forever) or those with really high ambition (wants to be come a professional athlete or musician). I don't consider my standards for education and ambition that high. What is going on?

Get out more. No, really. I can see not feeling comfortable with certain people as a group, that's pretty natural. But, it's not impossible to find someone as an individual from an different ethnic group that you feel comfortable with. Throwing out whole racial/ethnic groups really shrinks your dating pool.

Yes, that's a big turn-off for me also.

But, they are rumored to be better in bed. I think someone with a nipple (or whatever) piercing would do more freaky things. I might be wrong though.
