There's a difference between a demand and expressing a preference.
Do you prefer a certain type of woman? I know I have certain preferences, but like most folks, I'm open minded at the end of the day...it takes all sorts and we can often surprise ourselves by finding attractive the most unlikely of candidates!
As for people using such stringent preferences as a defence mechanism, why go to the trouble of entering the murky world of net dating in the first place if this were so?
IMO when people say things such as .."As for people using such stringent preferences as a defence mechanism".. It's usually their way of justifying themselves if they get rejected a lot on here, a bit of a sour grapes theory...
I think profiles a just starting points. I am what I said I am in my profile. I am not desperate or needy. But I am also not willing to just settle with anyone this time. Been there done that. So basically yes want what is in my profile but willing to compromise on certain issues. You can't really tell a person by their profile anyway. You might like what they write in their profile but once you get to know the person, you realize he/she is not what you are looking for.
Am I being punished & sentenced to one week in the Chocolate Factory?? Please, (in the words of a certain rabbit from long ago) not the Chocolate Factory, anything but the Chocolate Factory...
