Frustrated with dating

Im 35 years old, 5 ft 8, average salary, rent a place with a friend cause I can't afford it on my own, I do keep myself in decent shape, gym, etc.

Im really frustrated because I have had relationships and a past etc but im stuck at a crossroads.

I guess I have high standards, I want a woman who's not slept around, a woman who's not got any kids, who's between the ages of 24 to 28 years old and is stunning, I've been quite strict with this and as I've gotten older dating has become harder and harder as less and less women meet this criteria.

I also tend to attract women in the looks department that are average to pretty mainly and most of the time they have kids etc.

I just feel like giving up, I realise I'm that guy who's gonna get the type of woman he wants but at the same time I don't want to be alone forever.

Im not saying my standards are correct, im not saying I deserve anything but I just don't know what to do.

I hate it to be honest because I just want what I want and I just can't get it.

My post may come across like me being a dick but it's me just being honest and I just don't know how to handle it.
