It seems to be consistent with the goals of some folks around here and elsewhere. This is sort of what I was alluding to when I mentioned compatibility. I and apparently others would never date someone who had that or similar criteria, especially in that order, because our goals and outlooks would be too different. Those with similar goals may be okay with it.
For me, looks would be pretty far down the list in terms of importance. Well, within reason. I wouldn’t be interested in someone who had swastika tattoos, maga hats, Poison tee shirts, Confederate insignia, poor hygiene, etc. Sometimes folks have all of those things going on at the same time.

1 - has to "look dateable"
2 - ok personality
3 - hasn't run for the hills
I'm sure your wife swoons, knowing she fit these criteria.
Pretty sensible criteria.
What a romantic concept...
But let's say choosing a life partner is nothing more than a practical transaction. In that case those are not sensible criteria at all. They are undiscerning and would allow for pretty much anyone to become a life partner, provided they are merely reasonably attractive and not too unpleasant.

Lets get real though, people would complain like 4 year olds if anything definitive in the way of dating standards were mentioned on WP.
Less complaining is better around here but it'll never happen.

And people can do that their own way.

You do know plenty of kids in the 1950s looked an awful lot like the mailman or milkman.
