Why are women's standards when it comes to looks rising more and more?

Question

And do you think social media plays a big part in this?

Answer 1

Xper 3

It depends... If you are trying to meet women of apps like tinder then forget it. There are 100 times more men on dating apps than women. This means women are going to be able to date guys who would normally be out of their league.

Guy fucks them then ghosts them. If a guy dates them it won't be for long, because if you are use to dating 7's you not going to settle for a 5.

Dating apps are the worst. I suggest meeting women in real life. Then you don't have to compete against thousands of other guys.

We all know guys lower their standards on apps.

Anime dude, anime.

Next comes feminism. Ya, women are much more educated than they were in the 1920s. And they became managers, directors and CEOs, with teams of men under them.

And "lower" women admire these and try to follow suit.

Just like men, who wants the best girl in town, women also mastered the skill to choose the best in town.

Its normal, its natural selection.

And yes, social media and in fact all media play a part, including their successful girl friends.

@siseñor ya, when we kept watching, we're feeding our subconscious memory.

And this may dictate our general behaviour, much like our hands and legs can drive a vehicle without our brains "thinking" every moment of the control process.

I don't think they are. All women have standards. The standards differ for each woman. Some have them higher, some have lower. Just like guys do. Social media has affected standards for everyone today. But in reality, a lot of women I know have gotten with average looking guys.

They are hypocritical thots. So yes it is. If a dude dares to have a standard he is labeled a incel dating above his league. You don't see that with women! They try to force guys to date fatass lanswhales, while themself they only goes for the cream of the crop

Girl I know and went out with for a few months is on Twitter. All she does is moan about men. She's gained a lot of weight, and says she won't look at pics of herself before age 25. She has very high standards, even though she went out with me, who is nothing like what she says she wants

When women, even the ones not popular in real life, have thousands of guys at their fingertips on social media, of course they will be glued to their phones and have overinflated self-worth and demand more from prospective men. There is real confidence and then there is cope, and social media is cope for them.

i don't think that's the case. but beauty standards for men have always been more extreme. it's funny that it's women who always complain, when all they have to manage is "not to get fat".

or get wrinkles or have bad hair or God forbid less than a perfect skin.. basically never look older than a doll regardless of child bearing or aging or stress

But I'm just bored here tbh. Actually I believe both men and women have high standards nowadays

@mindNsoul all those things you mentioned equally are the standard for men. But at least women don't have to go through a draconic diet and fitness regiment to look good.

hmmm I don't think getting older or shaving completely bald is a deal breaker for many women. And not many consider not being absolutely ribbed is a requirement. No woman I ever knew in real life whether at work, uni, family or friends have told me or expressed to me that hitting the gym is a requirement. I'm talking about normal people in average life and not if you live in a city like LA or Liverpool than yes the standards are different. and definitely not on social media or dating apps because life there is completely different.

Thank you and I think what you are doing is important. But I also think sometimes blaming the world and the other gender is easier and less painful.

Both my exes were average but they both were funny and generally good men. I find confidence, good character and wittiness attractive. But people want to hear what echoes and resonate with their beliefs sometimes. And they want to hear that it is the other gender fault and evilness that they can't find love.

Personally, I don't think it is always like that. Some of us are simply not that lucky. And it does take a little bit of luck to initially find love.

@mindNsoul " But I also think sometimes blaming the world and the other gender is easier and less painful."
YES! Yes it is and that is the problem! I didn't blame the world or girlsfor not being into me. I blamd myself! I looked into the mirror and I could see why they didn't wanted me.
I changed the way I dressed, I went to the gym (I am bigger then I look) and build myself up. My personalitty didn't changed! I was still myself, but the best version of myself. I am living proof that it works.

It's hard? Hell ya it is! But what do I want? To endure what I must, be better and get what I want? Or lay down in acceptance, complainmy entire life?
I chose and now I have a good job, house and wife.

I want to tell @ that too.

People will always believe in what they want. Some chose to believe what validates their lack of will to try to make a chnage. That's on them. Not on an entire gender.

It does take luck to find true love. With that me and them agree. But they will never find it if they don't try to make something happen.
