I think you have to willing to start looking, and look lots, but be willing to say no to nearly all of them.
You sound very intelligent and quite beautiful, but even that is not going to have your perfect partner fall into your lap. He's out there somewhere, you just have to find him, and like a diamond in the rough he's probably going to be hard to find. The best thing I can think of is go on lots of dates, even though you don't want to. Just first dates, rarely second and never third, until you find the guy who likes you for you. If you get out there and mingle, meeting people all over, you will find him.
Again it goes back to statistics. If there's only a small chance of something happening, trying for it 1000 times instead of 100 means you have 10 times better chance of getting it, regardless, and any trying is better than none.
Jim is right too though, focus on what you want, then cut out all the guys who don't meet that, but use them for dating practice if you wish.
Waiting is not the way to go, it doesn't get you anything except older.
