Topic: Standards

I've kind of come to a realization about something. Me, like many others sometimes feel like these dating sites are a waste of time because nobody's interested in us. But I would bet nearly all of us on these dating sites could find "someone" but we all have this thing we don't usually talk about called standards. It's a tough thing because you gotta find that balance of keeping your standards and not "settling" I'm kinda starting to reevaluate myself and consider that maybe my standards are too high. I used to think they weren't because I'm not attracted to extremely skinny women. But thinking about it they're still very beautiful women that I go for, and usually have no luck with.

I think alot of us need to realize if we want a great looking woman, or if you're a woman searching if you want an attractive man with a great personality, money, the whole package then we've got to put some effort and make some changes into the way we take care of ourselves. It doesn't make sense that an absolutely gorgeous women who can have anyone she wants is going to want someone like me when I have very little money, a good personality when you get to know me but I don't have what I call a good meeting people personality, an average/below average looks whichever you want to think. It also doesn't make sense that Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt are going to want an average looking girl who doesn't dress up and chooses not to wear makeup. It's a form of stubbornness to not be able to keep your ego in check and accept nothing less than the best. If you want someone who's a 10 you've got to be a 10 as well. Sure there's exceptions to this but for the most part the formula applies. Alot of times even if you do get someone above you they'll cheat or leave you. You're only going to get someone as good as you are.


I strongly disagree with your generalization:

"Alot of times even if you do get someone above you they'll cheat or leave you. You're only going to get someone as good as you are."

Not everyone cheats, and only getting someone as "good" as you is ridiculous. That is a skewed concept. There are no absolutes. People date and marry out of their station all the time -- IF that is what you are implying.

I think you're right. Any of us could meet someone if we didn't have standards.
HOWEVER, we would end up with someone, we don't get along with and aren't attracted to.
Some people say having a physical attraction is "shallow" but I don't.
You have to have some sort of physical and emotional attraction to make any relationship work. Just how it is.

I agree with this.

Not having standards or lowering them could result in not being happy with someone.
