I understand the mindset that this list is coming from. But in my experience, and my observations of others (had a female friend who had an even more extensive list- spoiler- she was atheist and the primary thing she insisted on, was she never wanted to even meet any christians-- but she ended up marrying one.) You might find a guy who meets all of these criteria and is a total jerk. And you might end up marrying a guy who is wonderful, who happens to spend 16 hours on a weekend raiding in World of Warcraft. Part of the process of dating is learning what is, and what is not important. She's figured out that looks aren't important- that's great. I think she's probably reacting to a lot of things she's seeing in japanese culture- understandable. But the real requirement -- find someone who makes your life better-- can't be easily quantified.

There are some of us that would be fine with the ideal mate and that could include or wouldn't be inhibited by 16 hours raiding on a weekend.

Exactly. She amusingly lists 34 preferences — of which at least 28 must match — before mentioning Nickelback as a favourite artist. Yet she wishes for “Someone who can play classic or jazz piano.”, only humans of the female variety can come up with shit like that.

  Aptly put. Well done.

Yeah, this is a much better way to put what I said in my comment. The requirements mean shit all when it comes to actually loving someone, because you have no idea who you'll fall for. Also, she neglects to express any kind of sexual preference. If you're going to make a point-by-point requirements list, surely sexual behaviour should be on there, what with it being an extremely important part of relationships (unless you're asexual, of course, but that's important to note too).
