Did you ever think that you might have had too high of standards for a partner?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Yeah

Nah

[ohsheeT]

No never. Having standards is like having a blue print of something that is custom built. And with that. What every or how custom it is. It also come with a heart and brain. That changes every day and same with me. We both take on the day and in any given moment or time we adapt we have to

NOW. If we take out the word standard and change it for moral's values and ethit goes the same way

We have the bases there and we have to belief there and is, and as long as you don't go out of your way to totally change one of those morals, values and ethics. Then
Your standards could never be too high

I've been able to find women who met my standards - which are primarily based on morals and values, not looks, money, or status - though it wasn't easy. Still, clearly they do exist and an old, ugly guy like me can attract one occasionally. They can't be too unreasonable, based on my results.

[Pearl222]

I personally don’t think it’s too high, because I don’t expect anything from someone else that I can’t match myself. There are things that are non negotiable and some that are a preference.
I won’t compromise on the non-negotiables and somehow being honest, accountable and having integrity, non-smoker and someone with morals is too much of an ask these days.

[Caroline91]

No. I expected to be loved, appreciated and desired by a man with high moral and ethical standards who was invested in being healthy and hard working, who also could see the absurdities in life and just let loose and have fun... playful and kind.

[Dargil]

Here are my standards.

• She must be reasonably attractive and reasonably enjoy sexuality.
• I want her to be my friend/companion. Never my adversary.
• She must properly respect me in every transaction, without sarcasm and griping.
• I do not require submission, just cooperation.
• I require unconditional fidelity, loyalty and honor.
• I expect economy, not entitlement.

If that is to much to ask, there's the door.

not in the past but today my overall networth is quite high and my potential networth in the future (due to inheritance) would be even higher

thus my standards would remain high but not impossible (all factors of which are within one's control)

[Anonymous]

What @iron_man said. When you you start getting up around our age most women look pretty gross anyhow. If you're just in it for physical attraction you're probably going to find it pretty unfulfilling. At some point you just kind of want peace and happiness.

[sage2021]

Yes, because I don't drink alcohol or do any illicit drugs and it was rare for me to find a guy that was straight.
I didn't want to be with a chemicalized person.

[Iron_Man]

I guess when I was younger, Like early 20s but I just want loyalty stability and being consistent a nice looking woman that will always be there for you no matter what

[Nikki1989]

I thought that for a short time, but then I realized my standards were actually too low.

[Anonymous]

No. I’m very happy with my partner. I waited to find someone who was perfect for me and my patience paid off (although I did date a few other people before him but they didn’t last that long).

[exitseven]

I am a pretty awesome guy so it only makes sense that I had high standards.

[Ninania]

No. I had too low standards for too long before I learned to prioritize my own wellbeing.

[Babygirl_S]

No, if he isn’t compatible there’s no point. I didn’t wait only to be with an incompatible man forever

[Anonymous]

All of my loves were unrequited, so yes, my standards are probably too high...

But - If I can't be with the girl I like, I would rather stay single.

[Pohjolan]

Not really as I never had to reject any woman. Just a few gay guys.

[XXblack88]

Sometime yes but not always

[pragatimonga]

Unrealistic expectations sometimes 🤣

[Panthero80]

People should have high standards.

[WonderingManII]

Yeah maybe.

[Slim57]

Nah.
