Dating How-To for Picky Girls
First off, allow me to commend you on your high standards and refusal to settle for less than you deserve. A good man is hard to find and I’m not talking about quantity (the truth is that about 105 boys are born for every 100 girls). I’m talking about quality. What was considered “good enough” for your mom or grandmother just doesn’t cut it anymore (sorry, grandpa). Today’s women are smarter, better educated and more successful than ever before. And it’s because of this independence that women have choices. And more and more women are choosing to stay single rather than settle for second best. The problem with finding a good man is that you’ve gotten way too good for us. Think about it: You women had the Sexual Revolution to motivate you, but what have us guys been doing for the last thirty years? Can you say “ESPN”? That’s right, while you’ve been out bringing home the bacon and frying it up in a pan, we’ve been sitting on our asses watching sports and drinking Bud Light.
So why shouldn’t you be on the hunt for a guy as good as you are? Successful, attractive, educated, serious, clean.

I always thought the phrase "You'll meet a guy when you're not looking" just meant to not stress and obsess about being single too much. I've given this advice to my friends before, but I meant it as- focus on other things in life like work, hobbies, or hanging out with friends, because through these means you are bound to meet an amazing person.

Haha. I think it's definitely important to have realistic expectations. It's all about the balance between that and not wanting to settle. Also Lexie: I know what you mean. People always say that...but it makes no sense! The only people that say that are peoplew ho already have bfs.

I had been single for the longest time--and after you've been single for ages you just don't want to settle for any guy that comes along. When I expressed my frustration to my friends in relationships, they would tell me: "You'll meet a guy when you're not looking." What is that supposed to mean? It just seemed so condescending. I tried to "not look for guys" but trying to not to look turned into avoiding everyone and feeling sorry for myself. Finally, a great guy stumbled around, but it was when I was frustrated and still looking. I hate when people try and tell you to not look. I agree with Ian in that you should stay open and optimistic.
