^ Can you be not twice my age? I seriously fit everything on that list. That said, try to keep the tampon runs at a minimum... 
On a more serious note, it seems like all the women that would actually like me tend to be much older. Was I just unlucky and born into the wrong generation?

Sure. Why not?
Out of curiosity, how tall is Tall?
Oh, about 6 feet or slightly above. I just love tall guys!
Especially if they are nerdy.

no, you probably just make some nomnomnommy cougar bait. if you were born in the past generation you probably would have still attracted older women.
on another note, these lists will get a person absolutely nowhere. too exclusive - imagine if one's potential soulmate violated one of the requirements by being an inch too short or by telling an occasional white lie? the specificity of the criteria in these lists can only sell you a one-way ticket on the fasttrack to Lonely (okay, i included too many metaphors. but you get the idea).

Especially if they are nerdy. 6 feet is a good height! I'm 5' 7", and it's nice to be able to wear heels.

Agree.
X3, I'm always a little frustrated when I see these list threads; not to dump on anyone specifically but some of this stuff is beyond petty. I'm marrying a woman who disagrees with my politics, with my cigar smoking, who wasn't thrilled with my collection of firearms, who would never have even come close to matching any sort of "ideal specs" list I could have come up with, yet that's who I fell for. You can't plan these things or just write off vast swathes of people for reasons that seem massive to you but in reality don't much matter; that's like putting on a big "kick me!" sign for the universe at large. Just meet people and go where it takes you, it's the only way to learn what you're really looking for.
"What matters" doesn't objectively EXIST "in reality"-
systems of value are created by the individual human.
For me personally, it matters VERY MUCH that a hypothetical soul mate shares my beliefs and goals.
I simply cannot fall in love with people who I can see up front have beliefs and/or a lifestyle I find ethically/rationally lacking.

It's not a generation thing, it's an age thing. What you offer in a relationship- domesticity and stability- is more attractive to older women who are ready to settle down than younger ones. As you get older, this age gap will narrow.
