    I'm pretty sure a deal-breaker for me would be that she responded to that survey.

    As Jon would say, selection bias run amok.

    Yes to the selection bias. Remember, this person is selling a book. The author needed a story to tell.

      For the single people she talks about and their expectations, I wonder how things change as a person ages.

      Regarding aging ...
      There's a song about that concept, it's slightly different, but it's basically the same idea.

        3 vs. 300. Sounds about right.

        And we all know the guys were lying about how fussy they are.

        Absolutely.
        I would also bet she surveyed only a few men, the rest were busy looking for the wimminz.

            All of this type of survey can basically be filed under the title 'I don't know, young people today...'

            And I generally don't believe them.

            I was only joking

              They know how wealthy we are. Some of us even brag about our wealth, which I find to be in extremely poor taste.

              @horace It's only in poor taste if you don't share some with us. I'll pm you my email for you to send a PayPal to me.

                If your standards are too high, lower them.

                  I'm not at all picky. (See Jon's observation, above.) As long as he's extremely rich, handsomer than Hugh Jackman, smarter than a St. Bernard, and willing to leave me with a black Amex card while he's off pursuing his quest for the perfect mistress, preferably in foreign countries, I'm satisfied. That's all I need.

                  Are there opportunities to simplify? If he’s going to be off pursuing the perfect mistress somewhere else and won’t be around you, do you even need to care whether he is handsome? Heck, as long he’s away from you, do you even need to care where he is or what he’s pursuing? Really, would just the black Amex card and basically leaving you alone suffice?

                      I've been married to the same fella for 36 years. If he's not Mr. Right by now, then I haven't done my job of molding him to suit me.

                      It's sort of like that line about teaching a man to fish, and he'll be able to eat for a lifetime.
                      If you teach a husband how to behave, then he'll be a good husband for a lifetime.

                      Go ahead and prove me wrong. 😆

                      Yeah, but most young women are not as smart or wise as you are...

                      Let's see ... there's Mrs. Jolly, Mrs. George, Mrs. Mik, Rachel, M&Ms, Mrs. Mark, Mrs, Rainman ... I could go on for quite a while listing examples of smart and wise wives of y'all.

                      And all are excellent representation of not being too picky. In fact...
