You're complaining about astrology preferences which are, for all intents and purposes, a micro-niche of dating.
Wait until you find out the importance of how tall a person is (specifically, how tall men are). You're in for a surprise.

And thennnn a postscript at the bottom: "must be X height."
That's also mostly a farce and social status signalling. Most of them wouldn't date a black person to save their life.
I’m currently out of the dating pool, but I had my share of preferences at that time and my potential partners did too. Preferences aren’t the problem, holding two contradicting beliefs is (it’s ok to discriminate based on unchangeable properties when dating, but wrong when setting salaries).
And I will follow the regression further to fully admit that my desire for rationality is itself a preference and not an unmitigated good.
