Kevin, a TikToker from Fife in Scotland, says he’s fine being single — because he won’t date anyone who doesn’t meet his standards.

For Kevin, attraction comes first. He’s been open about wanting a partner with a “high-end” look, and he’s even shared a specific “type,” like long hair and a curvier figure. He also admits he’s not interested in “settling” just to avoid being alone.

He knows that makes dating tougher. The more narrow your preferences are, the fewer people match them — and the more competition you face. Still, Kevin says he’d rather wait than commit to someone who isn’t exactly what he wants.

Kevin isn’t new to relationships. He’s had a serious partner in the past and once dated someone he met on TikTok, though that romance only lasted about a month.

Because he doesn’t drink, he doesn’t meet people in bars or clubs. Instead, he uses dating apps — and says that’s where he feels most stuck. He claims many matches never reply, and when someone does message, they’re often not his preferred type.

Kevin says he’s tried lowering his standards before and didn’t enjoy it, so he won’t repeat it. In his mind, staying single isn’t a problem — it’s a choice.
