In early stages of life, pretty much. I remember in high school girls only wanted to be with guys that looked like Justin Bieber, or the ones who were great at sports, but money at that time wasn't that important. I think that when they are young women tend to look for biological perfection, which means trying to find the most attractive partner. As they get older, other things like money and social status start to become more prominent but as some sort of negotiated attraction, never genuine.
The problem is that, in the past, without the advent of social media and the internet, it was easier for men to reach women's standards. You see, the standards didn't change at all, women from the past still wanted to be with the most famous guy, the richest of the village, the tallest among their group. Women from the past were not very different from women of our generation.
What's happening now is the rise of the competition levels among men, which is leading us men and women to insanity. Let me illustrate: Lets suppose you're an Indian mathematic teacher, 5ft10 who lives in a distant village and have a great job at a prestigious university. You make a decent figure salary and is well known for your amazing classes. In this hypothetical scenario you have it all, you're taller than the general Indian dude, you have social status, you have money, you have the "trinity" so it's very easy for you to get a partner and find love in the end.
But let's suppose internet and Instagram steps in. Now you have to compete with an European or American teacher, he's taller than you, hotter than you, wealthier than you, he lives in some urban area and have thousands of followers on social media. In this scenario, which guy do you think the women of your region would want to be with? No matter how great partner you are, you would still have a hard time in this scenario. The competition between men was regional, but as soon as the Internet came to our lives, it became global and some dudes realized that for most of them it's just impossible to compete.

It’s an evolutionary response and it’s always been around. Females want the strongest genes for their offspring and a mate that can support or protect. In high school, this translates to atheistic tall males with symmetrical features because these characteristics are markers for the genes the male will pass on and his ability to provide and protect. As they grow older, their view changes slightly so that wealth plays a more predominant role in their selection process because money can buy both food, shelter and protection. If money and looks are in the same package, so much the better for them.
Males on the other hand have been programmed to impregnate as many females as they can to pass on their genes.
Not our fault if you can't meet a woman's standards. If she wants a partner with money, and you work at McDonald's or don't know how to save money, that's not her fault. If she wants a gut who's physically fit, and you can't run a block without getting winded, that'd not her fault. If she wants someone attractive to her, and you're not attractive to her, that's not her fault.
Its not impossible standards, they're just standards. Only difference is now we can have a real say in the matter without being shamed to high hell.

I think beauty standards are really high and unrealistic for both genders nowadays
Women need to look super skinny, with no breasts or ass, have perfect skin without any blemishes, freckles, acne or pimples or any lines or wrinkles, small/short face, small nose, small chin, small everything and perfect hair

Almost every girl wants the best that will fuck her and will reject guys in her league that would want a long-term relationship her. However, that is unrealistic, if seeking a long-term relationship, because guys date down for sex, but they almost never marry down.
It is not until after dozens of one night stands and some going nowhere relationships that she will finally realize, she must look for a guy that will marry her and not just fuck her. Then her problem is, by then, she is approaching age 30, has lost her bloom, and they guys she rejected when she was 10 years younger, no longer want her because they are seeking girls like the sexy, young pretty girl she was at age 18 to 22.Not necessarily there are plenty of decent women with reasonable standards. That being said if you only go for the most attractive and successful women while only being average or just a margin above average then it's no surprise that many of them would reject you.
I'm not saying this is you because I don't know what kind of women you pursue but I see many men complaining about women having high standards while they have high standards themselves.
So in essence I have seen plenty of men being romantically successful even if they're not tall or rich. The biggest thing is to work on yourself, go for women based on compatibility, and be realistic in the kind of women you pursue. If you do this then I'm confident you will be successful with women.Many people are developing the same issue. People have become so self important and self absorbed that they are not living up to their own standards. But people are unwilling or able to accept they are. Because of this many people on a basic human level are well below the basic standards of being a worthwhile good human being.
I got myself a STEM guy and Im kinda in STEM myself
Some do and are quick to say men are bitter that they don't tick the boxes, but when men do have standards they get upset about it anyway.
Not at all. I mean, people's standards in general are higher than in the past, but that's because we've socially progressed to not settle for every shitty partner we come across anymore. But that's good, obviously.
Women are supposed to vet men hard. It’s designed that way for a reason.
I always seek someone at my level or hotter. That’s just how it is. Up your game. Work out. Eat right. Dress nice.
And to be honest. Their is a lot of hot women that are boring in bed.When your turn comes, with money and status, run through as many modern women as you can.
Then find a decent woman and make a life together.It is becoming more common for women to want all the benefits of traditional and modern women without any of the negatives.
And put the blame where blame belongs
On the Feminist and MSMmodern women have gone totally fuckin nuts. the boobs aren't worth the squeeze
Yes they do but that's OK. Look around G@G and you see where it gets them. Most women choose their unhappiness.
Most people don't deserve their standard.
Men do the same. They go for what they want.
