Do you think women today have absurdly high standards for men?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Some do.

Some... don't.

Some... have... I don't know.

Basically you have some groups where women are pursuing or open much more to casual sex than in the past. Because men are generally very keen on casual sex, and multiple partners, women can have higher standards for casual sex than they would be able to in relationships (since they effectively 'share' men with other women when being casual). Women also have different standards for short and long term relationships (where men pretty much just have higher for long term). So there are some women who apply 'reasonable' i. e. achievable standards in short term hookups, then seem confused why they can't get relationships with guys who also meet those standards.

On the other end of things, I do see women with some unrealistic expectations, where they still want a guy who outearns them, but also should spend a lot of time in the gym, but also should be contributing to homecare/child care at a higher level than men in the past. It's like they want a partner track guy who is also home at 3pm half the time.

Most of those women are ones who do get married, they're just grumpy with their lives because they can't get everything.

This is only true for online dating, in my experience. In real life, women tend to have slightly higher standards (expectations) for men, but nothing unreasonable.
Its almost only on the internet you'll find the trolls who want men who're over 6' tall, totally jacked, six figure salaries, Chad Thundercock. Just sayin'. Real women are realistic.

Hah! These days I wouldn't consider it being high standards. More like unreasonable preferences and unrealistic expectations. Because if their standards were so high, they wouldn't be able to get dates or get asked out, let alone for it to reach into the official stage. If they're having sex on the 1st date or any other date, then their standards aren't even high at all. Their not challenging men and men need's a challenge. But the same can be applied to men as well when it comes to high standards depending.

Personally, I would say no, all I want from a guy is to like me, to be nice to me and to have a certain level of maturity. Everything else will or will not fall into place later, a. k. a the relationship lasts or we break up. The interesting thing is though, most other women (especially older ones) tell me that I have very low standards but most men (especially younger ones) have told me that my standards were too high.

No I don't think that

It's important to have standards so you don't just settle for less than you really want

People's standards change over time , and are generally raised after a failed relationship.

Desperate people generally lower their standards. I'd rather be patient than lower my standards

Both sexes have high standards most of the time.

ElissaDido · Answer

Women in the past cared more about the money than today's women.

Cosytoasty · Answer

Women have standards that match their own for the most part.

Since women are becoming more successful and independent, their standards for men are being raised in line with their own. Doesn't mean it's unrealistic.

And girls still date losers because they're attractive.

NyomiMcClinton · Answer

From what I have seen, no. I have seen women get with guys who have nothing to offer them, and pretty much the female is doing all the work in the relationship and she is taking care of him. a lot of females just enjoy having someone around versus looking at what a guy can do for them. Thats what it seems like to me.

EvilAngel114 · Answer

I only think a girls standards become too high when they are approached by a guy they aren't interested in to make them feel like they aren't good enough for the girl. But in general... most girls standards (under normal circumstances) are not that high.

lalala07 · Answer

According to what I have observed among my female friends regarding their standards for their ideal man, I can't say that their standards for men are as high as a skyscraper. Most of them prefer their ideal guy to be nice, it all depends on their personality.

RegularTK421 · Answer

Physically yes. People naturally want the best that they can get. As far as personality, wealth and jobs are concerned no they do not. I've seen women with broke ass bum dudes, even abusive guys, but they loved them due to physical attraction. I think love is mostly physical.

ChocEyes1 · Answer

Their standards are getting higher, but that' a good thing. To settle for something mediocre only leads peple to an unfulfilling and frustrated life. And besides, having high standards can serve as a motivation for the person to improve as well. To be willing to settle for less is not a virtue.

BubbleQueen · Answer

I think most probably have some sort of standards, but probably not too high. I think it's more of men are afraid to ask women out because of rejection, but it could be a high standards issue too I suppose.

BellePepper · Answer

I find there are a LOT of girls out there who's standards aren't high enough.

Fraizer · Answer

Yes, I think women's standards have become way too high. Even the most average looking girls now think that are going to get some David Beckham lookalike to fall in love with them.

Women have become much too picky and judge men too harshly. Instead of looking past their faults, they just move on to the next guy to see if he's any better.

YepItsMeAgain · Answer

I think some girls have lists of things they want in a partner that are waay too long, but I find it reasonable to want someone who is at least respectful, committed and that you enjoy being around.

I think there are more women of the younger generations (27 & under) that are less greedy/in it for the money and want someone that cares about them.
But most men have had bad experiences with the greedy women and feminists, so now it is hard for them to trust that a woman genuinely cares about them and not what she can get out of them financially.

Women's standards are ridiculously unrealistic. The problem in dating is the 80/20 rule due to female hypergamy. 80% women are chasing the top 20% women, whereas 80% of males are savaging for the bottom 20% women (scraps) that the top 20% males dont want.

This is also part of why mgtow exists because dating is becoming unfair and unequal. Female whorish behavior must be monitored because this is how its damaging relationships, commitment and the structure of evolution.

itsallover · Answer

Given some of the absolute shitstains women go for these days, many need to reevaluate their standards and make them even higher.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

Half and half... There are those who are human tragedies and yet want someone really amazing, there are great women who settle for trashbags. Most I think want someone who is their equal or slightly better.

Izumiblu · Answer

Interesting that the guys generally say yes and the girls generally say no. Id have to go with no girls don't and the guys irl are fine with it.

Thrifty · Answer

I dunno but if you think about it that the higher standard a man is then the more independent he is with women and having to rely on someone else.

Ultimately I think that having higher standards is beneficial to the woman and the man.

SadpersonT · Answer

Usually not, but I do because I read a lot of fictional characters.

DidDesiDooThat · Answer

No. No one man/woman should settle for less. Seek what you feel you deserve

GoodLuckCharlie · Answer

I don't think so, because most of the girls in my class are uglier than me, with or without makeup. But that may be because my class is just ugly in general.
