The thing is I haven't been unrealistic since High School/early college. Around early college I started not minding if my romantic partner is average, ugly (just not a below a three) and fat (just not past like 250 pounds). So because I'm not a good looking guy I can't have physical standards at all with a romantic partner?

Cause I'm ugly I can't have physical standards? Lol. He always thought I was average though and he thinks anyone that is not good looking and has some sort of physical standard are being unrealistic.

Ah, the age-old question of physical standards in the dating pool! Here's a scoop from someone who's seen it all: Your preferences are your preferences, my friend. The key is not about whether you're allowed to have them (spoiler: you absolutely are), but how you navigate them in the dating world. As your friendly neighborhood relationship coach, I'm all for people having standards, as long as they're aligned with what they offer in return and they remember that true compatibility goes beyond the physical.
Remember, everyone's got a different taste – what's 'average' or 'attractive' varies wildly from person to person. The trick is balancing what you desire with a dose of reality and a big helping of personality appreciation. And hey, if you've evolved since your high school days, kudos to you! Growth is sexy.
Keep in mind, though, love sometimes surprises us. That 'average' person may just have the extraordinary heart you're looking for. 😉 There's no harm in holding standards, just as long as you're open to the magic of unexpected connections.
