Do women think men expect perfection?

[Anonymous]

Ill tell you right now that men don't have these high expectations or standards like women do. Most men are perfectly okay dating average women & hell there are even some that will date below average looking women as well. Id argue that men are more accepting of flaws & can look past thosr imperfections. And look here's a thing, you can have high standards expectations. But stop saying that men have high standards and are picky because like I've said, men can date a girl that's not the ideal of perfection

[AmandaYVR]

Girls' standards are higher. So they supplant them onto men and claim that men think the same. They do not.
But getting men to commit to relationships/one girl, is a problem. Many don't. And they cheat and have side chicks very often.
Girls don't want to admit things like this, such as expectations. Many of them deflect it onto guys, saying, "Why don't you mention guys in that." It's b. s. Or "There's no good guys out there" when they have been holding out for the 6 footer who's gorgeous with a great career. They can't find one of them, and end up in their thirties feeling lonely.

Wow im shocked. A women that actaully looks at this with an open mind & realizing that what im saying is not complete bullshit

[AmandaYVR]

You're welcome. 👍
Apparently one of the 'rules' is not acknowledging any negative behaviour seen in one's own gender; and I call bullshit on that, especially when it is common and a pattern is evident. Having objectivity, and acknowledging, are what gain respect and keep the communication honest.

by the way, related...
Men: Do you think women have unrealistic expectations when it comes to dating and relationships? ↗
Those inverse numbers are almost laughable.

[Yourfriend2021]

I'm nice guy, "6 footer" friendly guy with everything like a house, cars, business and more, but women think guys don't want to commit? The problem is women not men, but of course not all women or all men fit into anything said on here. There are still good honest men and women. Most women are hard to please, are emotionally unstable, and can be sly and sneaky. But not all, there are good ones left, just few and far between.

[ChrisMaster69]

People just want to date other nice people.

they don’t want perfection, they want respect, honesty, good communication and a person they can trust.

The more shit people put in the way, the more they chase perfection, the more they end up chasing a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

accept that people are not perfect and no one is after perfection.

if girls want to date up I’m fucked, 40 years old, depression and PTSD, oh and I often scream in my sleep, I mean who would want me lol.

oh yeah a cute dental nurse.

Oh and I’m fussy as fuck with women, confidence, independent, individual , wants to have a career.

based on the girls I’ve dated or my ex wife, I would say they were definitely more than me, definitely not average or below.

that must be a brilliant chat up line, ‘hey babe, I’m chatting to you cos ur average’

I can see girls just loving it.

[Asker]

Men are willing to date average. Women don't want that & its just gonna get worse with the usage of dating apps. The standards are going to rise and rise more and more men are going to be single ; virgins for a while

[ChrisMaster69]

That happens when you talk yourself in to it and believe that stuff.

Being nice, showing respect, sense humour, being normal and understanding normal goes a long way to not being single, that and this bollox on body counts, on dating down and up.

Just how is that actually a thing

[Asker]

Wish that was true. But that's not the case and thousands of men can tell you that

[ChrisMaster69]

Millions of others are happy

[Asker]

Okay millions, not thousands

[Fireguy17]

I don't, no one is perfect.
Life is too short to bother trying to be perfect.
Just be yourself.

A lot of men want to appear as if they have high standards, but let’s be real, most take whatever they can get. Average guys are mostly with average or below average.

[Asker]

Average girls don't want average guys though. They want higher than that

[MzAsh]

They might think they do. But that’s often a bad strategy.

[Asker]

A bad strategy they never learn from

[MzAsh]

That’s what I want to help them with. Women eventually reach out to someone they regard as an authority on this subject matter when they are stuck in shitty relationships with narcissistic assholes. There is definitely a pattern. “He was good looking, had a job…but then I noticed his habitual lying.” Or bad temper. Or wandering eye. The list goes on. Some women do wake up.

[Asker]

Some. While most don't and ironically dont look at themselves being the problem

[Cath777]

I think social media also play a huge part in shaping girls' insecurities. We're confronted with perfection all the time and most of us are raised playing with perfectly looking dolls and watching princess movies where the guys are mesmerized by her perfect beauty. The reason why many young women are insecure without makeup is because social media rarely show pictures of women without makeup. We think guys also expect to see these faces all the time, to some extent. I praise the girls who break free of these stereotypes through adolescense and luckily a lot of us do. It makes me sad to see insecure older women though. Beauty is so subjective and looks are just a small part.

[AmandaYVR]

Younger girls are more insecure than older women. You see your value on your beauty and are much more influenced by advertising.

[Smashingdoozy]

Yeah mostly because a lot of men don't know what natural is.

[Asker]

That doesn't make any sense

[Smashingdoozy]

I've definitely been with a guy who said that he wants me to be all natural around him. So when I got comfortable I was. He would never compliment me when I had no makeup on. Barely adgknowledged me. Would insist we have sex before I took my makeup off. Would look at me like I'm the most disgusting thing in the world if I burped or god forbid farted infront of him, even told me to do that in private. He even left once in the middle of the night because I was snoring and that wasn't very feminine of me.

So yeah some men expect this perfection that doesn't exist.

[Asker]

Exceptions don't disprove the rule

[Smashingdoozy]

There is no rule. People are so vastly different.

[Asker]

There are always general rules. There are some things men do more than women and there are things women do more than men

[Clarke498]

Guys have high standars, low standards, just as women do. Stop trying to put 8 billion in the same box. Every single fucking question on here does this and i have no clue why.

[Asker]

In general. There go throw a fit somewhere else

[karaspara]

Yes both sexes have pretty shit ideas of what each other expect if GaG is anything to go by

[Asker]

You think have high standards too

[Yourfriend2021]

It's true when you say most and not all. Not everyone fits into one category but the points you are making are true.

[Anonymous]

Take a look on the couples you see outside. Are all those men with girlfriends/wives perfect? Cone on. Most people, men and women, will date average people.

[Asker]

Yeah i see women with above average and very good looking men. More and more men are going to be single because women want to date up

[Anonymous]

I expect women in my personal life to be perfect or I will dump them quickly

[anylolone]

Because they want a perfect man.
