Why's it a double standard that it's ok for you to give dumba-ss answers on a daily basis, but it's not ok for you to get them in return. You've been voted by members of yahoo answers as one of the 10 biggest deuch-e bags on here. Congratulations. I'm just the messenger. They also wanted me to let you know that socialpath is not a word moron.

Clever question, like asking about the 4th dimension, back before there was consensus (more or less) that the 4th dimension is time.
If we look at an example of a "double standard" one of the most common examples of this is the double standard of sexuality between what is acceptable for men and what is acceptable for women.
If we add a factor to that, such as age, we could call it a triple standard. For example, what is considered acceptable sexual behaviour for an individual would be based not only on their gender but their age.
In fact this type of standard already exists. Society does have ideas about what is acceptable behaviour based on gender AND on age. We are combining the factors.
When I search on Triple Standard I found mostly commericial pitches, such as "our product is the most rugged, the most beautiful and the most cost-effective."
So another philosophical solution to the original question would be that someone has to match criteria on three counts to qualify for something.
For instance if you are searching the internet for a date they might need to fit criteria on three levels:
age; gender; hair colour. Or, age; sex; location.
Once again, great question. Very thought-provoking.

Well, a triple standard can exist, and I think it does.
It is perfectly acceptable for black people to call each other the "N" word, but not for white people. It is somewhat acceptable for Hispanics to use that term with black people too. There is a tripple standard.
It means that there are different standards for 3 different groups of people.

Would the triple standard nullify the double standard and be the same as a single standard?

A double standard means that you live by one set of rules, yet you judge others by a different set of rules. Like if you would say that you don't like it when other ppl smoke, but you borrow your friend money for cigarettes, that's a double standard. I hope this helps, man! Take care.
