By having so many different "boxes" to check off for guys you may be depriving yourself of some quality guys just by them not meeting one of the criteria. Nobody is perfect. I can understand the need for a mature guy, good hygiene, good appearance and a job.
But at the same time a guy who meets most of those criteria is probably still going to walk up to you, say hello and maybe offer to buy you a drink. Nothing wrong with that. And nothing wrong with being polite back to him. Nothing wrong with having standards, but being realistic with those standards is important also. Real life interactions aren't going to be like what you see in a movie.
While you may get bombarded now with male attention, that won't last. The older you get the more the advantage swings back to guys, just as an FYI.
IIN that some women are offended if a man thinks they are attractive
