All right so I read the whole thing and the reason why you're not able to find enough men who are on the same wave length as you that you can pick and choose is because there aren't many out there (blame the M'sian education system).

Thing is you're looking for guys similar to you on an intellectual and confidence scale, and it's gonna be slim picking because those guys are confident enough to go for the hot chicks and they have the brains to impress said hot chicks into bed with them. Either that or they've been identified straight out of college by a cougar and are quickly domesticated.

In my opinion, you have 5 options.

Option 1
Continue waiting and hope for the best.

Option 2
Join a group dating agency and participate in group dating that you see in the movies where the guys rotate every 10 mins.

Option 3
Give your mother a list of criteria and let her match make you. I know this goes against your beliefs but if you tell her to follow the list stringently the guy can't be too far off.

Option 4
Settle for less. "WHAT!??!!" <-- that's probably what's going through your mind right now. I'm not saying to settle for a construction worker. I'm saying take your expectations down a notch. Sure he's not able to engage in "deep philosophical conversations" with you but there are a lot of good guys out there who can speak their mind and are happy to let the woman wear the pants in the family. So i guess you have to ask yourself the question, am i willing to settle or can I afford to wait?

Option 5
Get with a girl of your liking and adopt a baby. Note, you will need to move overseas in order to do this.

So in conclusion, I am sympathetic to your predicament but sadly this is not new. There are many career women out there who are single because they cannot find a compatible mate and are unwilling to compromise. Do you want to risk joining that demographic?
