Are my dating standards too high?
by Ken Lund
Question by Erica L: Are my dating standards too high?
This is in response to the article “Not My Type cn be Mr. Right”. Over the years, girls I know said that my standards in finding the “One” was too high. However, the last boyfriend I had really “wasn’t my type” and I felt miserable being with him because of that reason.
So, I need someone to look over my recently updated “Dating Standards” list and see if it is reasonable. Whatever may sound unreasonable I have explained to the best of my ability:
I look for a guy who is: tall (or at least over 5’5”), has similar religious, moral, and political opinions as I do, holds a degree and a good job, is imaginative, loves to read, loves listening and making music, enjoys horror movies and can laugh at then instead of being freaked out, is kind of scrawny in size, is from a country other than the United States (I would love to live overseas one day and I have had a thing for people with foreign accents, especially English and Australian, since I was a child) and does not have dark hair (I was harassed by several boys starting from elementary school all the way up to the twelfth grade and all of them, save for one guy who was blonde, had brown to black hair).

Yes – and even if you DID end up married to someone who met those criteria, you’d still get bored and bitchy fast.
Besides, there’s no such thing as ‘the one’ in real life. ANY relationship is what you make of it.
