There is something missing there. Can you see what it is?

anonymousI would like to know if the sentences are correct?

That is a statement and should not end in a question mark.

anonymousThere is a condescending look to/about her.

"To" is not wrong, but "about" is very much more usual.

anonymousShe has a condescending look to/about her.

Same.

anonymousShe’s too much of a sporty for my taste.

Unidiomatic. "Sporty" is not a noun in my variety of US English.

anonymousShe’s too sporty for my taste.

OK, but "sporty" is not usual for me.

anonymousShe looks too bohemian for my taste.

OK. You don't know anything about her, but at first glance she appears to be more bohemian than you would like.

anonymousShe’s too bohemian for my taste.

OK. Her bohemianism turns you off.

anonymousShe wants all those criteria/qualities in/for a man.

You can't want criteria. Use "in".

anonymousThose are the criteria/qualities she looks for a man.

You can't look for criteria. You forgot the "in".

anonymousThey are a good match. (for each other/one another.) Do you need the bracketed but?

You seem to have messed this one up. In my dialect, there is no difference between "each other" and "one another" except that "one another" sounds quite formal.

anonymousThis girls is more in your league.

Right.

anonymousThis girl is in your league more.

Possible in the same meaning as above, but awkward.
