Is there a universally sensible standard (both physically and personality-wise)? Or do certain things go out the window if other certain things show up?
You have to have a partner who respects your personal boundaries. That's the standard I hold anyone I deal with up to. You have go respect me. That's what people forget about a lot of times in relationships.
Definitely agree with Brahn. You all know what I think of physical standards. But I think non-physical standards have a legit place in choosing a SO. Trust, love, respect, values...these things come to mind. And like so many who have physical standards will say, don't expect it if you don't offer it.

Can other standards be offered instead of physical standards (for physical standards)? If so, which standards should a person offer instead?

There is no universal recipe.
Many people so strange and often don't know what they even want.
My opinion is I don't care what each individual's standards are, however they should be the same standards for themselves. If you can't ask something of yourself, don't ask it of anyone else. Don't expect someone to be faithful, and you can't stop cheating. Don't ask for honesty, and you're a liar. Don't ask for space and privacy, when you are constantly checking your partners cell phone. Too many times we have standards for others, and don't even bring ourselves to those same standards.

I think so. That is sort of the point I was making. Once I outgrew physical standards I was open to dating a lotofdifferent types of women. I've shared this before so I'll not repeat it at the risk of being repetitive. Still, even when I was open to dating different types of women physically, I still searched for partners whose values aligned closer to my own. Of course they didn't need to be point for point an exact copy of me, but at least be close.
As for which standards should be offered instead, one poster above said there is no universal answer and I agree. It depends entirely on you as an individual.

Actually with a little more thought on question I would say no, there is no universally sensible standard.
As a group, people have a very wide and differing set of standards they seek. Maybe if you looked at it on a bell curve, there are some extremes which would find very few people accepting in their standards. However, the vast majority of things will lie somewhere in the middle of that curve.
