Nothing to do with the presenter, as I indicated up front.

To the presenter - I thought I'd seen/heard this talk before, and I was right - she gave this talk as a TedX talk about a year ago and has since published a successful book about her search.

I'm glad that she figured out what was actually important to her. I hope that she has chosen her parameters wisely and will have a lasting marriage because of it. (I also sincerely hope that her husband had gone through a similar exercise.) However, being the cynic that I am, I suspect that what she thinks is important now will not be what she finds important three to fifteen years down the road. One of the things I noticed that she was looking for was a mid-30s (I assume) male who had never been married. She probably failed to take into account that there's probably a reason for that.
