I have to say, i have the same issue you describe. I am in that same age range you mentioned but my situation is a little reversed. I cant find guys who who fit what i need/want.
I think my issues come from many things but one of the biggest is i am not in the places where that kind of person i want to be with is. I tend to hang out with a crowd that is not the kind of person i am so i meet people who i would never date. For example, i am business owner, stock investor, geek, and i spend alot of time helping people, but i tend to hang out with people who's main goal is to not end up in jail and get whatever they can for nothing.
I have the same trouble with finding friends (obviously lol) who are up to the same kinds of things i am.
I think people are out there, it is just changing yourself to be the person who attracts the kind of people you want in your life. It is something i am working on as well. For me tho, i am working more on friends then a romantic entanglement.
That said, i enjoyed the blog post. I actually did this a couple months ago. I had over 100 things on it and have been working on streamlining it a bit.
