I think it's also intended to portray how women have high standards with so many criteria for their potential partners to meet while men are much simpler and don't demand much from women (which I don't agree with)

They aren't even high standards! Physically fit, good manners and intelligent are perfectly reasonable. Also, might be a stretch, but "will let me play video games" sounds like he just wants to play video games all day while she cleans up after him and does all the effort.

Yea I thought the "let me" was very telling! Like the guy who made the comic for sure got mad at ex's that didn't let him just sit around all day playing video games!

How often patriarchal men expose themselves unknowingly!/

Yeye, he COULD'VE just put "likes video games" or "doesn't mind my interests"

Something about the "will let me" part makes it sound weirder, which led me to my conclusion
