So asshole is having preferences that don't fit the norm? If they don't impose their standards on you, and do not act a snob, why do you care?

In general, you should avoid putting people in positions where they have to admit their inadequacy to fulfill your preferences.

A better question is to first ask what they have, and see if there is reasonable expectation they can fulfill something so exact.
