My standards are be a pleasant person, in the general ballpark of attractive as i am, and not a slut. Unfortunately thats so hard to find these days people call me unreasonable. Thats very sad.
I rather have a feeling like people do develop standards as they get older. Like my ex, who used to have a new boyfriend every few months and got married after school.
@KrakenAttackin Women have more options before age 30, men have more options thereafter.
It's not so much that men physically age better than women, but rather that the things men value in women (i. e., sexual value, beauty and fertility) decline with age while the things women value in men (money, stability, fatherly instincts) increase with age.
OP. I don't know, I have recently seen many pictures of women from my high school class and DAMN, they look like shit. Seriously, the hottest girls in high school now look like high mileage moo cows. Yes, us men have aged as well, but not nearly to the extreme the women have.
@KrakenAttackin Your personal experience is not the same as reality. The fact is men and women physically age about the same, on average. The issue is one of differences in what men and women value in each other over time. Unfortunately for women, the things that men value most in a mate tend to deteriorate over time whereas the things women value in men typically improve over time. That's the reality of it. No need to be a dick about it.
B/c that’s the only way people are successful in dating in my opinion. If you don’t know where you measure up and date accordingly then I suspect things won’t turn out

I would actually go as far to say that my standards get refined as I get older. Being 30 years old I now know that looks are not enough.
Mine do, at least in the sense that when I do a project, I can no longer do it with the precision I could when I was younger.

My standards have actually increased, but they aren't unrealistic.
They don't so much drop, we try to be more forgiving for things that we might have done in the past, and to forgive other people.
I don't think so, there are many MILFs I know around, as they getting older they seek more of that young meat lol
Actually they tend to rise, the older you get the less trash you're willing to put with assuming you're smart and learned from your past mistakes.
No just we start to get a clear vision on what we actually want..
I don't know if our standards drop but I tend not too focus on trivial or shallow things like I used to
I think generally speaking women's standards drop with age while men's standards increase.
Men have more options. Also, men age like wine and women age like milk.

Some men and some women
Yes, there are exceptions, but in general what I said is true.
I suppose that's opinion then but it's not for me to really say
It's more than my opinion.

You can stick with your opinion and I'll stick with mine that people get old and perceptions change
Fair enough.
Cheers
Thank you for the answers
You're welcome. Happy Holidays.
Happy holidays! Sorry didn't see your comment
No problem. :)

In terms of natural grace I think men are favored but if someone looks after their skin and body they can look great into their 50's

not mine. mine get stricter
Nice!
Your standards Should drop to match what you are.
How so?
B/c that’s the only way people are successful in dating in my opinion. If you don’t know where you measure up and date accordingly then I suspect things won’t turn out
I suppose but shouldn't you have at least a base of what youd like in someone?
Yeah that’d be a good idea
Ah ok sorry
I don’t necessarily think they do. But one maybe knows better what’s really important in a partner.
Change the word, "standards," with "unrealistic expectations." What do you think?
Mine have not. My standards are there for a reason.
I have become less shallow, though.
Mine have always been the same. No difference.
Can say the same
No they just change. Less physical, more mental prob.
Our preferences change throughout life. It's called growing.
Beggars can’t be choosers
How's that relevant sorry?
it means if you're 40, you dont have many options available. You can't be picky if you're not hot shit.
Ah ok
