I am not going to be able to make it any less hard to find the right person for you. I haven't found the right person for myself yet either.
I don't think it's true that guys (generally) want you to settle. SOME guys might... but they're not the ones you want anyway.
So yea... Don't settle. All you can do is to keep looking, and hopefully, you'll find what you're looking for. The thing is... you never know WHEN you might find that person. The day before you meet the perfect guy... you'll feel like it'll never happen for you... then... bang... out of nowhere.
Just keep looking/waiting. Either that, or settle. Don't settle. 🙂

High expectations I think. People have it in their head about settling and all that. That's not how it used to work. You would find someone who was loyal and treated you right. Then you would marry them. People were happy and in love. Now all this emphasis on body image, money, status, all the other shit that doesn't matter one bit in choosing a life partner. Money, looks, health, these aren't guaranteed tomorrow. Shit happens! What matters is that someone actually has your back through thick and thin till the end. You are loved, respected, and appreciated. Everything else is all noise and completely unimportant to relationships. Relationships are compromise and give and take. It's a out "us" not you. Until people get that through their heads, yes they are likely gonna die alone...

I hear you sister, its tough. Its not about settling. But everyone things they know what they want until they find it.
The last couple women I have met have been through dating apps, problem with that is I can't get past date 5 or 6 without them staying active on the apps.
There like 3 guys to every gal and women seem to really enjoy playing the field, given all the options available.Female entitlement. The existential crisis of too many choices. Women, like my mum, will die surrounded by fking cats and dogs before they "settle" for a man. And since most of them find the vast majority of men unattractive, the best course is to invest in a hedge fund devoted to pet supplies, boxed wine and pharmaceutical companies.
Personally there are so many variables in the world today. Families are being rifted apart over nonsense and most people are linear in they're thinking that they will not even listen to your thoughts and needs. Life is full of surprises when we don't seek we find.
It's never been "easy", not in my lifetime, but people do seem a lot less interested in exclusive relationships than was the case when I was a young adult. That is one reason and the other is the lack of financial stability a lot of people have.
Everyone sets their standards too high, What I look for in a girl or woman
most men wouldn't like her, but that's my decision and I do respect their
decisionOnline "social" media and cancel culture has ruined dating and courtship.
Because the older you are and the more body count you have, the shittier men you will attract and the less committed men in general will be interested in.
At your age, with this attitude, I can nearly guarantee you'll never find a compatible guy. You've spend the past decade spurning really good prospects, and now you have to compete with much younger and prettier women in the dating pool. No, your window is closing, and by forty it will be nearly impossible to find a mate, for a lot of reasons.
Hope you like cats.because you want mate not love, All you need to do is fall.
So, what kind of guy are you looking for? What qualities make it hard for you to find a worthy date?
Because...
80% of women choose the top 20% of men. Vise versa.By expecting too much, too soon.
