Most of the times a Man's standards boils down to looks. We often overlook other qualities if we find her attractive.
Women on the other hand are definitely choosier and have a long laundry list of requirements, they don't all have to be met but are more critical of men in general.
These are what single women are looking for, I can't view their entire ads, (don't have an account there myself)
"is there any honest and good men out there"
"Please be worth my time
If you would like to know anything about me or what I do feel free to message me anytime."
"I'm not asking too much...
I love travelling, going to the beach, having nice dinners, going for long walks, spending time with friends, getting to know new people or doing anything that I'm in a mood for. I'm a sweet, "
Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
But what requires a man to be "worth" her time? And if I can "feel free" to message a woman, why wont she respond. 98 of 100 women will just delete your message without even reading it! And the 1-2 who do respond will give short less than 10 word responses that wont lead to any real conversation. Its almost like you have to speak some sort of magic gibberish that will make even a 5 or 6 mildly interested

I agree. I doubt even they know what's worth their time. I'm beginning to have my doubts that women even take online dating seriously. That's not saying that guys do (far from it). But for those of us who present honest intentions and a decent profile it's pretty damn frustrating.
I dont think most women's standards are higher, just unwavering. SOME men could have an equally high sense of self worth. Rather than taking the sprinter's approach of thinking that it is their clothes or cars that persuade women to be with them immediately, a select group of men run the marathon and realize that their genes and subsequently their man juice alone is what some women want. And they're willing to hold out until they get their standards met. lol...they may not start a family till they're 39, but some women are willing to wait that long. But if you're some hornball going around nailing whatever will open the door for you then yes, women have higher standards than you.
It's because women pretend that their standards are about "deep" things, such as personality, whereas men's standards are about looks. Of course, that's a complete lie because most of what women present to the world is intended to make them look good. That's why, for example, you get conflicting responses about the "is size important?" question. In public, all women will say "no, absolutely not." Then you put them in a room with only women and it's like "hell, yeah, girl! HA HA HA!" Women are generally like that.
That's actually probably true, guys are more up front with their tastes in general, which I guess can be good and bad. A good aspect is there is no wasted time from the girl perspective since they know what attracts a guy if he makes it public.
I think its a preconceived notion that women have to have standards to protect themselves (rape, physical abuse etc) and to weed out bad candidates when it comes to reproduction. If men were the ones giving birth and perpetuating the species, I think we would understand a (hopeful) raise in standards. This isn't always the case though.
Really?? Aside from being irrelevant to the question, is this supposed to mean that only men rape and are predisposed to physical abuse and that women are capable of immaculate conception or spawning offspring all by themselves? Oh but then, maybe I forgot that this kind od reply comes from women who are never guilty because everything bad is men's fault. Ok.
