Since when did basic things such as Gender, Skin Colour, weight, age range, and religious preference become "Picky". Altering my view on any of these things would require me to effectively change who I am. I would have to adopt a different culture, or adopt a religion which I don't believe in, or in the case of obese people, overcome my gag reflex. These things aren't being "Picky".
Picky would be me saying I'd only date a girl who ate cauliflower on thursdays and who only liked going to the movies on sunday afternoons.
And yet, according to you, your selection criteria are so strict that only a tiny fraction of people meet them. Whether or not the criteria themselves are considered by you to be picky, when they, in combination, result in a severely-limited dating pool, NO, you've no "right" to feel bitter or irritated, because it's YOU who refuse to date anyone else.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm a victim of circumstance. I didn't choose to be born where I am at, I didn't choose for my parents to pick to move here, I didn't do any of this, and I'm sure as hell "Not going to make the best of it".
You choose who you're willing to date. End of. If you're not going to make the best of it, then don't whine about your lack of prospects.
