Are you sick and tired of hearing about women’s unrealistic dating standards?

I want a boyfriend that looks like Tom Cruise.

I want to be in a relationship with someone who can serenade me like Ed Sheeran.

I want to date a rich man like Bill Gates.

You are not alone!

Thousands of men are now considered “undateable” because women’s standards are becoming too high and too unrealistic for the average man.

  • Must be at least six feet tall.
  • Must be earning six figures.
  • Must be a 10 on the attractiveness scale.
  • Must be physically fit.

Dating has become an exclusive playground for the good-looking and wealthy. Whatever happened to the essence of dating?

For most men, dating has become something like a job application — there are requirements you need to satisfy, and if you’re lucky enough to possess all of them, you get to move on to the dating phase, also known as the initial interview. I’m not even kidding when I call it an interview.

The first date can make or break your chances at love. As they say, first impressions last, so you need to ensure your dating game is of the highest caliber.

You sit down at the table across from your date, and the interview begins. She might ask you about your background and your current job, and if she’s direct to the point, she’ll ask about your financial status.

Not even the cold breeze of al fresco dining can save you from the lumps of sweat forming on your forehead from answering her questions. And lying won’t help you either because women are natural lie detectors.

If you pass the initial interview, you move on to the final interview.

Daunting, right?

Enter International Dating

What happened to casual dates where a man can enjoy a beautiful evening with a woman?

That’s exactly what I’m getting at. Women’s standards have become so unrealistic it’s no wonder why men are opting to date overseas where women are much easier to please.

Unlike most western women, foreign women look for the bare minimum in the men they date: mature, loving, and can take care of them.

They usually don’t care about looks. Heck foreign women will even date older men who are way past their prime. And they could care less how rich you are, as long as you have the means to take care of their basic needs.

What spells even more bad news for local women, is how their picky nature has paved the way for online international dating to flourish. With the click of a button, men can now meet and talk to women from anywhere across the globe, giving men more reasons to look for love away from their locale.

An international dating app is now the go-to for men who are unable to meet western women’s dating standards.

Unless women acknowledge the problem, there will soon come a time when they will run out of good men to date.

And what happens then? Will it ruin the local dating scene?

As for the men who choose to date outside their comfort zone, you can’t blame them. They’re only trying to look for love and happiness. And from the growing number of interracial couples you see every day, it seems like they’re finding what they’re looking for in women on the other side of the world.
