Appreciate a good woman. When your young its easy to think you can always find better. By your mid to late 30s most of the great women are gone. 

Thanks for the awards. Just trying to be helpful.

And on the flip side, don't settle for and stay with a bad one. Sunk cost fallacy is real, and being alone sucks, but you'll be doing yourself a huge favor and save a lot of wasted time and be one step closer to being happy if you just cut out someone that you're not happy with.

My friend said he wants a specific age, race, demographic, and born from only a certain part of the world while also isolating some women because culturally they’re not what he looks for. With this mindset he then skips a lot of potential datable women, saves him time. I think he’s crazy but it’s his choice, I want to know what others think.

Wanting someone who wants the same things as you and the same culture is alright. But when it starts to get too vain and like.. a specific region?

I mean he's welcome to try. But it seems like hes likely not considering the fact that such a woman must also want him and having such a shallow list of requirements is not ideal.

It's one thing to want a partner who does or does not want kids, and has the same religious views, ect.

Same cultural identity even I can understand. Even age range. But it depends on his approach as to why he wants these things I think.
