  • Standards

    Each person has his own preferences. Some have average standards while others have set it to be so high. What can you say about the people who had raised their standards to be so high? Is it a sign of being vain or is it something else? For example, they would only accept men who are at least 6 foot tall and anyone below that height would just be ignored.

    If they look so good, then it is fine for them to have high standards. I guess that they just want to make it fair for themselves. They believe that a handsome person must be with a handsome person as a partner. For me, it does not bother me at all as it is already a given case.

      That's right! If they think that they are capable of having a high standard but if not, then they'd better stick their feet to the ground.

      Just don't be abusive with setting up a high standard. Attitude comes first before anything else.

    There's nothing wrong with having such high standards because it only means the person that they going to end up with will be really loved since he has passed the standards that the other guy is looking for.

      Oh. You are a good answer there. You could be right that he could be loved as he passed the standards. Or, he could be lusted only as he met the high standards.

      How about your taste in men? Have you always made sure that they passed your standards before agreeing to have a date with them?

    If we're going to talk about your example. He should make sure that's the average height of the people who are around him. Because if he's living in a country who are below six feet. He's going to have a hard time looking for guys who would pass his standards.

      You are right with that one, but most of us are on that range. We are fortunate that our race provided it.

      Is he looking for a basketball player or something like that? Well, there are tall men anywhere on the planet. Even on the places with population that are not racially tall, there would still be some people who are gifted with good heights.

    It is okay to have some standard when it comes to the person that you want to be with. But you should also remember that you shouldn't set them too high that you're going to have a hard time looking for a potential partner.

      Are you thinking that he might be looking for somebody who's hard to find or that he has unrealistic standards?

      Right! Very well said. Let us have some high standards, but not so high that you would need to travel the whole world before you see that person.

    There's nothing wrong with having high standards when it comes to finding a boyfriend. But I think we should also be willing to lower them from time to time.

      Have you been with someone who wasn't able to pass your standards?

      It is a given that there should be some sort of compromise when it comes to relationships. You can't always rely on your standard since you might end up not being able to find a person to be with.

      What are the reasons why we need to lower it sometimes? Is it because there are few people who pass the high standards? Is it because of the difficulty in finding those men?

    I don't think that having standards doesn't mean that you're vain. It only means that you just want the best for yourself and there's nothing wrong with it as long as it is attainable.

    It is possible that you might be a little vain or think highly of yourself if your standard are quite high when it comes to people that you're hoping to date. I would suggest that you should learn how to adjust from time to time because trying to maintain your standards actually limits your choices.
