Why do women think they can have standards but men can't?

Question

They think they can reject because of appearance, not being a bad guy or having a disability but think criticize men for rejecting because of race, being a single mum, being a feminist or go past 30 and try and settle for a safe guy after rejecting them or him throughout their life or because of appearance.

As soon as their looks decline they change tac

You are asking why in our species the females are pickier than the males about their partners?

The reason is simply pregnancy and the long time in which an infant is helpless. This makes for a huge investment on the part of the female either way. The male can provide significant parental investment as well, but not all of them will. So this means they have to be picked even more carefully.

How does this apply in times of contraception? Our brains are simply still wired the same way as ever.

Women tend to feel more threatened by men having preferences or standards. Because women stupidly think men aren't in any position to be choosy and that being choosy is only reserved for them as women. It's also threatening for women because a man having preferences or standards means he won't pick just any woman, and women depend on men not being very choosy to give women more opportunities for sex and dating.

Every one judges everyone on looks, more often than not it's superficial. I've tried a couple of times to be with a guy who I had zero attraction for, and it doesn't work, a lot of times things feel like a drag or a chore rather than a thing you want to do to make them happy.

I think what you’re seeing is that they’re only looking at it from their own narrow perspective, as most people do.

Because most woman in 1st World Countries were placed on a High pedestal by weak SIMP boys (not men). Women became an un-official rules of men and because of that, now they are un-officially allowed to have extremely high standards, while at the same time they are ridiculing and even stomping standards of men. I do not blame women At ALL for having extremely high standards, I mean why shouldn't they? The vacuum has been created by pathetic 30, 40, 50 and even 60 year old boys (NOT men) who would do ANYTHING to get laid or even get their hand touched by a girl and women field that vacuum with their own power and rules.

To give you a Perfect Example: If I'm the only Strong guy in an ocean of weak SIMP boys and there are 100,000's of women who are craving me and want what I have, am I not allowed to have obnoxiously high standards? It is basic supply and demand. Exactly and I mean like EXACTLY the same concept applies to women.

There is nothing wrong in having standards but we need to be practical to work things in our favour.

Women want perfect husbands. Men want perfect wives. A company wants a perfect candidate for their job position. The truth is a perfect person doesn't exist.

The same reason men do it, and that is entitlement and lack of responsibility.

We actually do but that hallowed Split Tail tends to rise to the top. But later on, when the anesthetic wears off, guys will say:  The pussy is great but I'm tired of her BS! That's when the  standards  re-emerge.

MountAverage · Answer

Those things you've listed are fundamentally different than just appearance. You're comparing apples and oranges. Not all standards are the same. But the crucial factor is not  what  standards you have, but rather  why  you have them. And depending on your reasoning for why you have a certain standard, it might be valid to critisize you for it.

It's because it's a double standard that the media portrays strongly and influences society to think this way. Honestly, this is just another gender double standard that I despise.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Because women are used to being able to just pick a man... until these women get older and their looks begin to fade.

You're hanging out with/prospecting the wrong women if the women you're talking to don't think you can have standards.

Guaranteed this is getting removed. Even though it is a valid question.

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

Because they get away with almost anything. Hot chicks get favors, the deject scream rape. Real women set their own standards and don't immediately judge. Even after the titties sag and she can't afford another plastic re-up.

It depends on your reasoning for the the said standards, whether you're a man or a woman.

Blueeyes81 · Answer

Because patriarchy and stuff. The reality is a lot of women think mens standards are shallow while their standards are practical.

Archferret · Answer

This claim is sexist and outdated. Men are perfectly capable of having standards and rejecting women who don't meet them.

I have certain elements I desire in a partner but if a guy came along and said he really loved me for who I am I would forget all my standards.
