In the Spirit of V-Day

This all started at work today. My friend "Duck" as we call him always tries to figure out why I'm still single, and he has pretty much determined that it is my choice. Then he decides to try to look for guys to set me up with and I give him a list of qualities of what I'm looking for. Here is the list:

Roughly between 25 and 35 (although there are guys that are mature for their age and some that are young for their age, so someone that is not too far behind me in maturity level, and someone who isn't so far ahead that I wouldn't be able to connect.)

Smart

Cultured

Fit (healthy, and able to keep up on those long runs or bike rides)

Physically attractive(I always find guys with short dark hair and sideburns attractive)

And emotionally intelligent (at least somewhat)

That is the list! (at least what I've decided to write down)

Duck thinks that it is way too much to ask for that a guy be "emotionally intelligent" and started randomly asking guys that were around if they even knew what that meant. So far its 6 and 0 out of all the maintainers I work with that got polled. One of the guys said he knew what it meant but couldn't put it into words, so in Duck's eyes that one doesn't count.

I've decided to go out on V-day on Duck's advice, supposedly all the single guys will be out looking for "a quick hook up".

Why is it that unavaliable men always seem more attractive? I think this goes for both sexes (men find unavailble women more attractive also).
