At least this one is different, she hasn't jotted down a list quite yet.


Would you like to see me list?

I don't ask for much, honest

It's absolutely true, what world do you live? The less attractive a woman is, the less standards she can have.

They take a little longer to find.

Thank you! I am not sure whether my list is realistic or not either. But I feel that I should be at least attracted to the guy and my heart has to feel something.

At the very least. There are people who think you should force yourself in order to meet THEIR idea of acceptable standards. Don't ever do it. Ever.

Most women do not have any realistic standards. As I post in my tread I going to play only in my league from now on. Problem with women is they do not know what league they belong. However I agree with OP to not to go with person she don't like.
And there is Prince_Frog who from some reason have low opinion abut him and from some odd reason try to troll any discussion about league, range, be attracted to someone.

I think Sophie try to sell story about inner thing and beauty in eye of beholder. Actually some men by it. I hold sharp eye for that thing. Some women think no matter how they look if they approach they can choice best looking guy.

Here's the general line of thinking on here:

Woman's standards: Can never be high enough! Don't settle for anyone or compromise on anything. You are a special snowflake who doesn't have to change yourself for anyone.

Men's standards: You are too picky! Lower your standards! Stop approaching 10s! Ask out that obese woman! You aren't entitled to anything from a woman! Improve yourself so you have something to offer!

One thing what I notice people ask for opinion but none have picture of body. I would say body picture is more important then of head to understand someone league.

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?
Gee, are you kidding? We are the same age and we both are young!!

Who told you to lower your standard? Why?

There are tons of good men out there will date you, don't lower your standard.
