Sex: Female
Age: 21-27 (I'm 24)
Smoke?: Never
Drink?: Rarely/Never (or at least, never to get drunk)
Religion: open to other peoples beliefs (i.e. not a fundamentalist)
Physical Attractiveness: Average (or better), but not overly concerned with their looks.
Activity level: Loves doing things and staying active! (i.e. doesn't just sit around watching T.V. during their free time)
Personality: Someone who is kind and thinks more about other peoples needs than their own. (i.e. someone who is willing to give of themselves for causes other than their own).
Personal Health: Stays healthy, physically and emotionally. Also a responsible, honest and genuine person.
Intelligence: Either wise or intelligent by most people's standards.
Kids: Wants a family


Out of my 143 matches over 3 months, I have only found one person to (potentially) fit this criteria. After one attempt to communicate, an ice-breaker of "Just wanted to say "Hi!"" and 6 days, the match was closed because she was "pursuing another match".

I can't tell if my difficulty finding girls is just because of where I live (Wisconsin) because we are known for our alcohol consumption or what, but I am losing hope that "she's" out there and available. So, is she out there? Am I living in the wrong state? Should I be looking somewhere I'm not already?

Ouch.

Not sure how much is your location, or just the culture of our nation. "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" may have made a great song, but some folk do seem to be taking it to an extreme. I wonder, do girls your age think the same thing about guys your age?

I don't think you have to move to Texas (where I've got two great nieces, btw) to find a decent female, but you may have to hang in there awhile.

Good luck to you...we do exist, at any age. ;-)

Well, I consider myself to fit most of your list now (at 38 years old) but I personally was an immature and irresponsible idiot in my early 20s who certainly wasn't ready for family life and kids. I would say most of the girls I knew at the time were the same.

Women like you are seeking are out there, you've already been matched with one, but I would think they are in the minority, especially for the lower end of the age range you are searching.

I think it is more an age range problem than geography.

I do like to drink every now and then...and drunkenness can be so much fun! Some things you just don't out grow.

Squarf! Hi!

Please don't get sucked into the world's view of "the right age to get married and have kids." There are many girls who fit the things that you've listed...give it time.

I went through the stage of "what's wrong with the 'type' of guy I want because he doesn't seem to exist." Is he out there? Do I have a problem?

He is out there and I don't have a problem.

I learned to be patient (yes, dreaded word) and to love who I am!

You deserve what you want, but you have to be willingto wait for your "perfect" to come along.

Lots of other people don't wait (many are in relationships that we see) and their relationships don't last.

So, yes! Hang in there!

All the criteria on your check list are pretty reasonable, and probably not that hard to find where ever you live. The above in red though, makes me wonder if you are looking for Mother Teresa and a supermodel all wrapped up in an action packed wonder-woman. Wow, wouldn't that be great!

What are your distance settings? How strictly have you set the restrictions on your other settings? Just remember to keep an open mind and an open heart when dating, especially online. Pictures and profiles can only tell a small part of the story. I find it very difficult to believe that out of 143 people, only 1 met the criteria you laid out. Are you sure your definition of average looking isn't too demanding? Did you even try to talk to any of the other 142 people? If not, how can you be sure they aren't right for you?

The other issue is how many of the 142 didn't close him out first: distance, other, whatever.

One must be careful of what they wish for or they'll end up with someone who looks like Mother Theresa (at 90+ years old) and the negative stereotypical personality of a supermodel.
