I'm still just not seeing how on earth this list can be considered very difficult to achieve. Literally nothing on her list of requests is outlandish. This is something that we keep harping on, how she's being unrealistic--these are barebones standards here, kids. She wasn't asking for a date with a male model who also happens to have a Nobel prize and also rescues puppies in his spare time when he's not feeding the homeless at a soup kitchen. She was asking for a date with a middle aged, reasonably attractive man with a job and a home address and all of his teeth.

Because the guy they set her up with is going to have his list as well, and you can bet at least one or more of his criteria standards won't match with her. I am willing to bet most men will have more than one of the following; attractive, slim, athletic, young, petite, pretty, sexy, etc... Any guy who doesn't, probably really would be a toothless, homeless man.
It's not that her standards are so crazy, it's that there are 2-sides to the coin. And for the reasons mentioned, after around the age of 35, there is a power-flip in the dating scene that favours males.
