I am going to be 28 in a couple of months. Some people keep telling me that in order to find a guy, I need to lower my standards. However, standards are there for a reason. And I feel that my standard is low enough. How can I love someone if I am not attracted to that person or I don't admire him in some ways?! I am not looking for the most handsome guys; I do get attracted to a variety. It all depends on the chemistry.
So my questions is: What is the basic standard a girl my age should have? And should I maintain my standard? How do I know it is "low" enough? I mean even if I am unable to find the guy I want now, it only means that I haven't met him yet. It does not say anything about me setting up unrealistic standards right?
Well... what are you offering? Unfortunately, I do believe that has a lot to do with what standards are 'acceptable'. You also have to know that if you do have higher standards you have to be okay with being alone forever just in case you never find anyone that meets them.

I don't know what your standards are to say if they are unrealistic or not. But you should not listen to people who are not living your life and are not going to love your husband for you. You don't have to be married by a certain age. You want what you want and if it means you have to wait and you're OK with that, then so be it. Quality men don't fall out of the sky all day long. They take a little longer to find.

It depends on how hot you are. The hotter you are, the more standards you can have.
Is there actually people that get together with someone THEY DONT LIKE just to not be alone I refuse to believe that, it is to depressing.
Oh believe it! Trust me! I have seen some! And I guess they want me to do the same since many of my friends have settled down. I don't know how they manage to sleep next to the guy every night. It's amazing.
