Opera - What I Wanted

As a young child, I could remember writing down on a piece of paper on what kind of girl I would want.  This type of girl would need to be a student like me, if she was a B-student then I would be ok with that.  Over the years I have not found a girl like that.  Back when I was a child this was the bare minimum on what type of girl I would want.  If a girl cannot meet that minimal standard then that is sad.  How can a girl meet my higher standards.  Those standards are: does not have a record (jail, nor DOC), does not have a substance abuse problem, does n0ot have a kid/kids from multiple guys, has a bachelor degree and is currently in pursuit of a master’s, is a hard worker, prefers to travel, speaks multiple languages, plays music instruments, is a martial artist.  As stated before if she cannot meet the minimum standards then how can she meet the more complex standards.  The answer is that she cannot meet these standards of mine because she does not have the desire to go beyond the easy route in life and she prefers to live like a commoner that does not want to move beyond the scope of a small mind.  The one who travels the world has the world inside of them; while, the one whom travels the city has only the city in them.  I want a girl with an open mind and not a closed mind.  I am the renaissance man and I am looking for the renaissance woman.
