32-year-old single woman refuses to date any man unless he's an 8+, makes at least $100K, attends church weekly, is taller than her, and doesn't have children: 'I am trying to tell her she's looking for a one in a million guy'

It's sad to admit, but dating truly is a numbers game. There are so many people in this world, and no matter what way you swing it, the majority of them don't want to date you, and you don't want to date the majority of them. When you whittle it down to your preferred age group, gender, and city, it gets even smaller. It doesn't matter if you're good-looking, smart, funny, or have all the virtues that make a good partner. If you don't put yourself out in society and give dating the old college try, you won't find a life partner.

The difficulty of finding a partner is why I don't have a specific "type." Imagine if I met the love of my life, and I never knew it because they looked a certain way or had some flaws. Having dealbreakers is one thing, but quitting before you begin is inadvisable.

The woman at the center of this story has a laundry list of standards (one of which is truly jaw-dropping) a man must meet to even go on a first date with her. She got angry when her best friend told her this level of gatekeeping might be unrealistic despite her being 100% correct.

AITA for telling my (32F) best friend (32F) that her dating standards are unrealistic?
