Fuck no! Never settle for less than you deserve! The dating pool may continue to get smaller, but your standards should not go down in order to be with someone. Hold out for what you want, even if it means solo nights cuddling with your dog:-)
@msclarem "Kind, well mannered, and happy with himself is my standard". Bullshit. There are plenty of men who meet your "standards" and you would have been married off quite some time ago unless you are a real disaster.
Nope they don't. I still know what I like & what I don't like an I'm not ashamed to pass a woman up politely if she's not my type mentally or physically. As long as your not cruel or disrespectful to them its not wrong to stand firm on your standard's/tastes in what is attractive to us.
I think they get more well-defined as we get older. Most teenagers don't actually have standards beyond "don't tread on me", it takes some maturity to understand exactly what you expect from people, and what you offer in return.
I don't know if they drop, they just change. I'm attracted to older women now and I don't expect as, much out of relationships as I did when I was just starting out.
Standards dropping sounds harsher than it really is. Maybe its more along the lines of realizing somethings aren't as important as we thought they were as we age.
It depends on factors such as if you are pretty or not.

You tell me? I personally don't believe in age as a determining factor. When I see you, I don't see an old woman. I see a sexy woman with a juicy ass 👅 and a beautiful cleavage 😍
Meant my age and I dont mind if their on the larger side like myself Haha

You're not large. You're a full plate and I love eating 👅 and the age thing is a problem. Plus, you're not into fun (sex) like I am. Why aren't you into sex?
@msclarem Your question, and you have no examples to share? Trolls and fakers post like this, or are you just to unsure to share things, maybe mistakes, in a post?
@msclarem So do you feel like you are one that is like these, 'just taking what they can get'? I think that is sad, because there is SOOOOO much more to a person, a BEAUTIFUL woman, than just physical appearance!! Her appearance is maybe 10% of what attracts me, to her! I have NEVER just been with a woman, because of her looks!! Many times, I have not been really attracted to her, physically, but loved her, because of how she shared the same HUMOR I did, or we connected, through hobbies, or foods we liked!! You can learn to be attracted to the Physical, when you truly LOVE, and care for the PERSON!!
Yes and no Yes I guess if we are at a low and feel desperate I guess but we also have standards now that we didn't before We won't stand for certain things we would before and aren't as childish I don't know
Maybe for some, for others standards might actually go up. I think they just change. My standards now aren't neccesarily lower, just different because I know what I want.

You are a post-wall female, you tell us what your standards are?
Post wall? And just kind, well mannered and happy with himself is my "standard"
@msclarem "Kind, well mannered, and happy with himself is my standard". Bullshit. There are plenty of men who meet your "standards" and you would have been married off quite some time ago unless you are a real disaster.
Yes that's my standard, not entirely sure what you're so upset about.
Not upset, just calling you out on your BS.
I'm not entirely what you want me to say haha
Nope they don't. I still know what I like & what I don't like an I'm not ashamed to pass a woman up politely if she's not my type mentally or physically. As long as your not cruel or disrespectful to them its not wrong to stand firm on your standard's/tastes in what is attractive to us.
i think they just broaden, as we age we get less narrow minded. example, think about your musical taste twenty years ago and how it has changed
That's true
As we learn and live our tastes change

Very generous of you, but I dont standards change that much haha
What are your standards?
Physically I think similar to me but more importantly good natured and kind
Physically you want super sexy and personality wise you want someone like me! Why not date me?
Meant my age and I dont mind if their on the larger side like myself Haha

We drop some dumb standards we have when we're young and add different more mature standards when we get older, at least that's for me 😂
No most peoples standards grow with age. Most people become more aware of the world and whats realistically best for them.
@msclarem Dear Lady, please post an example, or two, so I know we might be feeling the same things!
well it's just a general question sorry
@msclarem Your question, and you have no examples to share?
Trolls and fakers post like this, or are you just to unsure to share things, maybe mistakes, in a post?
A question as in do your standards drop as you get older? Sorry I'm not sure what you're confused about
@msclarem EXAMPLES of what you mean, about dropping standards? How is that now obvious?
"Taking what you can get when you get older" seems to be a common theme if you want an example
@msclarem So do you feel like you are one that is like these, 'just taking what they can get'? I think that is sad, because there is SOOOOO much more to a person, a BEAUTIFUL woman, than just physical appearance!! Her appearance is maybe 10% of what attracts me, to her!

Our priorities realign, drifting from the ideal to the practical. This isn't a drop so much as a reevaluation of what's most important.
Yes and no
Yes I guess if we are at a low and feel desperate
I guess but we also have standards now that we didn't before
We won't stand for certain things we would before and aren't as childish I don't know
Yes they do drop in terms of appearance. But in terms of everything else, they actually get higher in my opinion
I think that standards rise (in their complexity) - but with advancing life experience we also get a better sense for compromises and flexibility.
I haven’t seen any evidence of that on either my part or anyone else‘s. I know better now to think I can fix a woman who has problems.
Maybe for some, for others standards might actually go up. I think they just change. My standards now aren't neccesarily lower, just different because I know what I want.
O like to think of it as realizing what's more inportant, they get better not lower
It depends on the person.
My standards have always been the same, I don't ever see them changing.
