Ordinary by most accounts, yet Mr. Lâm's criteria for a partner are so lofty, matchmaking services throw in the towel.
The 49-year-old's selectiveness keeps him perennially single
In today's society, tales of older men and women without partners are common. Some fail to find love due to financial hardship, while others, because of their excessive pickiness, satisfy no one.
Therefore, it's essential to initially assess oneself. If you're truly outstanding, more options will be available. If your situation is average, not ideal in every way, be more mindful when setting standards for a partner. Never seek perfection in a partner when you yourself are not perfect.
The saga of Mr. Lâm, a 49-year-old from Hebei, China, draws attention. Approaching his fifties without a shred of romance, he still searches for the goddess of his dreams.
Despite numerous setups by family and friends, Lâm's dating attempts always stop at the first date due to his high standards.
Ordinary in appearance, Lâm demands much from women, undeterred by their straightforward rejections, always seeking someone better.
Living with his parents, Lâm enjoys a life of ease, with his mother taking care of all household chores, leading a worry-free existence.
Lâm desires a partner with fair skin, long legs, gentle manners, and a stable income.
Valuing physical attributes highly, Lâm finds it difficult to proceed with women who do not meet his specific criteria.
With the family's growing impatience, they hired a professional matchmaker, yet, despite the matchmaker's efforts, no success was found.
His expectations so high, he's been on seven dates without finding anyone satisfactory.
His standards are so unreachable that even the matchmaking agency is at a loss.
Once, he met a woman who matched him in looks, but they barely spoke at their first meeting. He criticized her for looking dull, old, thin, and lacking curves.
The matchmaker pointed out she was younger than him, puzzled by his criticism. Lâm simply stated his disinterest, only wanting to admire beautiful women, prompting her immediate departure.
Given Lâm's pickiness, the matchmaker tried introducing him to several other women, but he found fault with each one.
When directly asked about his ideal partner, Lâm specified: 'Fair-skinned, elegant, about 1.62 meters tall, with beautiful curves and an extraordinary aura.'
Assigned to find a match for Lâm, the matchmaker introduced him to Lý. Initially promising, Lý's rural background turned Lâm off completely.
Despite the agency's attempts to connect Lâm with potential partners, none managed to stir his interest. Some had poor skin, others lacked clear body contours, resulting in brief and uneventful dates.
Realizing Lâm's fixation on physical attributes, the matchmaker asked for specifics. Lâm presented a magazine, revealing his desire for a physically perfect woman. Faced with such unrealistic expectations, the agency gave up. At 49, Lâm remains single, waiting for his flawless match.
Being meticulous in choosing a life partner isn't wrong. After all, marriage is a lifelong commitment. Randomly choosing a spouse can lead to conflicts and disagreements later in life. Differences in personalities and hobbies can cause chaos at home.
However, if the other person is decent in every aspect and your own standards are average, don't be overly picky. Understand your position and aim for compatibility rather than perfection in a life partner.
