The only way a girl will ever go out with me is if she is willing to lower her standards by a lot. Do any women ever do this?

You don't think highly of yourself, aren't you? Maybe you should try to find out, why?

When you say "willing to lower her standards"..you gotta understand that his is a HUGE list for most women and covers a lot of territory. You can't and shouldn't expect a woman to lower certain standards and then again should be able to find someone who perhaps will take you as you are..but...how are you?? That is the question. If you have physical limitations, what are they? If you have no job, a police record, have been married a bunch of times....you don't say what your status is.
Pretty broad question you ask with not much information so unless you plan on fessing up about all that "stuff" I wouldn't expect a woman to take you "sight unseen". Good luck!

I've found that to find a partner, there has to be a 'perfect storm' with both people. I know I'm not everyone's cup-of-tea and you probably aren't either. The farther one moves from 'average' in a negative way (height, weight, looks etc.) the harder it is going to be to find someone, you essentially make yourself a niche prospect. I know quite a few 'niche' people and while they're all perfectly good folks, they all have trouble dating.

Now, standard wise..that depends. Everyone has their own specific standards and they're constantly changing. I could dumb myself down, start wearing 'trendy' clothes and dye my hair a color that exists in nature to make myself more appealing to the masses, but I'm not interested in the masses. Are you? To ask if women lower their standards is silly, because every woman's standards is different, as are men's.
