Which standards did you lower? Looks? Personality? Intelligence? Employment status? Lowering standards on looks can pay off. Giving up your standards on personality is asking for trouble.
Will you be happy lowering your standards to find someone? Be patient and wait for the right person for you. Waiting is not easy to do, but at least you will be happier when you find someone whom you like and who likes you.
We hear much prattle on this Forum that humans can be placed on a scale or in "leagues" of "quality", whatever "quality" entails. The high should mate with the high, the middle with the middle, and so forth. Those who lack certain important attributes, or means to properly convey them, should instead seek their fortunes amongst those lower on the scale than themselves. If success is not attained, keep going lower and lower.
The flaws in this reasoning are too numerous to be journalized in any one thread. But I will simply say that the OP's experience is yet one more data point that belies it.

This is the way to do it if you want to avoid unnecessary drama in your life. Men complain about dry spells, but when they get into relationships just for the sake of having a warm body around, they end up complaining about drama, or any number of other problems. Develop some independence, OP, fill your time with interesting activities, and keep an eye out for someone who's a good fit for you.
