They have this image in their heads of a guy who smashed all their preferences and standards and makes every other guy they’ve dater look like a chump.

I know it sounds unrealistic but THEY deep down truly believe it. They get the ick over little things, laugh with their friends about guys they’ve dated who “revealed” themselves to be complete weirdos or assholes or “the way his voice cracked once just killed it for me.

In their future they WILL meet that amazing guy. So any sign you’re not him, or even if you’ve done nothing wrong but you’re not quite fulfilling that fantasy in their heads, boom - gone
