I don't think my standards are too high. With the world's population being what it is, certainly there is someone for me. Right?

Really.

Here's a simple exercise. For the sake of argument, let's assume the US population is 302 million. Women are roughly 51% of the population, so let's work with a figure of 154 million. Below are my various standards, and the percentage of the population that would qualify.

- Is 21-35 (10%)
- Is elf-like (1%)
- Likes dinosaurs (15%)
- Likes horror movies (75%)
- Likes Italian horror movies (20%)

That leaves me with almost 3500 people! My standards are just fine.

Now, you might argue that I didn't take into account any availability or interest data, like marriage status or sexual orientation.

I don't have to.

I'm hot.

What do you consider most important in a mate?
