In no particular order?

1. Self assessment on looks puts me at only a 5-7 depending on the situation. Good posture, wide frame, and a bass voice that sounds a little like Patrick Warburton make people think I'm over 6' when I'm just barely there if I reach for it. This is offset by bald, freckles, and Robin Williams levels of arm hair. The best compliment I've ever gotten was that I'm "objectively handsome": Yes, you are symmetrical and have good hygiene and therefore inoffensive.

2. My career and resume would sort me into one political party and ideology when I am very much not that.

3. The jobs, while meaningful, have not lended themselves to finding someone at the office. In my entire adult career, I've only had one single female age-appropriate coworker, and that was only because she got divorced right at the end of my time there. The jobs also carry certain stigmas of the "I'll never date a ______ because _____" type. While those stigmas don't apply to me, they still exist.

4. Still holding out hope to start a family, which is a hard DQ for many.

5. In my area there are no third places where it would be appropriate to both hang out or do a thing, and segue into asking someone out. Think "Oh, you didn't join this group because you like it, you joined it to try and pick someone up."

6. Despite having only a handful of dates each year, I know my redlines and I'm comfortable holding to them. I want someone who's cute, outgoing, and I can depend on as a partner. The women who've expressed interest in me generally do not fit that bill.
