Why cant i find a gf?

I think it's fair that I have standards yet I am told they're too high so let's see what yall think? I'm 26f and tried Everything to find a gf. I got 12 matches on tinder, no one has spoken to me all none are attractive because I dont want to talk to someone who filters all their pics, cuts off half their photos, are trashy looking, over weight.

My dream girl is as follows

Under 5"6" as I like women shorter than me
Slim like me
Darker hair as I am attracted to opposite hair color
Femme and or tomboy femme
Honest
Communication
Commitment
Spiritual is deff important to me NOT religous but if she is on the spiritual path I'd think she is some what balanced person
Funny
Has morals
Trustworthy
Affectionate- cant stand people who wont hug and hold hands with their s.o

I dont mind if shes a bit taller if she has lots of the qualities I'm after or a little extra chunkier. I dont want to talk to a girl who has her pics filtered as to me this shows me she has little to no confidence and low self esteem issues

    It's normal to have a base standard of the type of person you're looking for. What's important though is that you keep your.. requirements minimal and/or at least flexible.

    While we wanna be in a relationship but currently aren't, it's a good opportunity to self reflect on personal traits that could potentially be improved upon. I for one would always sit down after a breakup and think about what I could do to improve. That's not to say there's something wrong with you. I'm simply saying that everyone has a thing or two that could be worked on. What better time is there than while single and free to do so?

    You know what ...
    Sometimes you will find that special girl when you least expect it .
    She may or maybe not be on you're list .
    Love is funny that way you can write it down but until it happens open you're eyes you never know you might have already met her .

    Best way to meet someone is join a club
    Bowling club or an art club something .

    How many girls have you found that does match your standards? Regardless if she wanted to date you or not. I dont think your standards sound unreasonable but its not a good idea to think out the person too much beforehand,its just random coincidence what traits a person will actually have. Asside from that have you thought through how much YOU have to offer in terms of attractiveness and a relationship? Both personality and appearence does matter (different people might put different weigth on each) and so does hygiene. Its not everything you can change but overall try to improve what you can improve naturally. Staying healthy and maintaining good hygiene is pretty much synonymous with maintaining a good appearence (again its not all you can change and some other people may have high standards as well). Be also counscious of how you view and treat women, would you like to be treated the same way? If in chat could there be something wrong with the way you start conversations? And of course actually meeting up with people and get to know them is crucial. Im not an expert but maybe some of the advice could help.

    • Yes I have good hygiene, I'm slim (53kg). I have good values and my main quality is my humor. I don't know what others are looking for 🤷‍♀️
      I'm not the smartest woman but I am when it comes to emotional maturity.
      I get automatically nervous around women and sometimes (depending on how attractive I find them), I cant think straight. No pun intended 😆😆

    Internet dating is the worst. While I did in fact meet my wife on the internet... I estimate at least 10,000 contacts were we at least exchanged messages over at least 20 years before I met her. So many scammers, fakes, and lairs. I met in person extremely few real people who were honest (less than a handful in 20 years). My wife also tells me that she had given up on the internet thing as well because of all the "strange" men who contacted her. Then my contact message came in - and between it and my profile I was so different... (although she did figure I was crazy... but knew I worked in nuclear power plants at the time and that they screen for that - so I must be somewhat safe).

    I met far more people in real life by going to events and joining organizations that did things I was interested in. Finding GF's was not difficult so I almost always had at least one (I never hid that I had another - which was part of the discussion before we moved to sex: and I could have had sex with many more than I did). Finding "the one" I wanted to marry was.

    I suggest that you become involved in the local or regional gay groups, and places they frequent. Get involved in organizations that do things you are interested in (and some of the other ladies will also be responsive to you).

    Ask people who you become casual friends for recommendations for a GF for you.

    The game of life is played with real people. Not internet profiles.

    I wish you the best with this,

    • Thank you!!! Much appreciated for this elaborate reply, though I have attended a lot of clubs!! I have also attended LGBT events. I tend to get automatically nervous around women unfortunately though I do try to engage as best I can and depending on my level of attraction I'm pretty good at "faking it till I make it"

        Relax a bit... Actually its quite normal for you to be a bit nervous; especially if you are of the younger generations (I'm in my 60's) as the younger generations tend not to have the experiences of relating and working with other people directly due to their early introduction to the internet and phone messaging.

        May I suggest a book that may help you learn to better meet and relate to people?

    Try looking in real life rather than online, where many fake who they are

        Well your list is very specific, it’s not really the standards, but very specific in personality and looks. Usually people bump into people they like but it would be hard to find that specific person. Like a needle in a haystack
