Do you believe that someone can have to many standards when it comes to dating?

Question

What standards do you think every girl should have?

Answer 1

Too many? Perhaps.

Too high? Probably.

Standards are different for each person. Mine were intelligence, humor, kindness, wit, and a desire to grow as a human.

Answer 2

The standards a girl should have for dating should be determined by both her right to choose, as well as their being shaped by her parental upbringing.

People are allowed to make their own standards for themselves as far as if they should date, when they should date, who they should date, how long they should date, and so on.

Common standards that some have are that they won't date a smoker, or someone who's merely separated (instead of completely divorced), or someone with a lot of debt built up, or someone who's chronically unemployed.

Answer 3

I guess it it depends on your standards. If a girl is willing to compromise some standards, she can become very popular, but at a price to her integrity. The same applies to the guys.

There is an old farmer saying, why buy a cow, when you can get the milk for nothing? Don't be too free with your favors, people will soon find the lies to take advantage of you.

Answer 4

I think it depends on what those standards are. If they are something like:
1. No violence
2. No sex until I'm married
3. He should have a job or be going to school

You get my point ... Those can be great standards. But if they're something like he can only have dark hair and green eyes, must be over 6'5" and drive a BMW, I think that those are superficial and probably too narrow. You get my point, I believe.

Answer 5

I think you have to know what you will or won't tolerate. But you also have to be willing to compromise on the things that are simply petty. If you're too picky, you'll never find anyone who measures up. Loving someone is about accepting their flaws as well as their good traits. It's up to you to decide if a flaw is more important than the love you share. Know yourself first, how you want to be treated, and the sort of relationship you want. Once you know that, you can work out the differences if you recognize that you can't change a man -- you have to accept him for what he is, and if you can't, then move on.

Answer 6

No, absolutely not. Changing your standards will only lead to trouble later on. What you accept now by lowering your standards will ruin your life. Because your standards will always be there.

Answer 7

As long as the girl accepts that she may never find the person who meets all her standards, she should hold to them.

I settled. I regretted it for years, suffered an unhappy marriage and a messy divorce. Next time around I held out for the man of my dreams and found him... I would rather have spent the rest of my life alone than with another person who did not treat me as I wished to be treated.

Answer 8

women would want...

4. clean
5. has control of his temper
6. can act like a gentelman until the wedding night
7. wants the classic 2 children, cat and a dog guy

Answer 9

There is a woman we work with that is desperate for a man, so we have all fixed her up with someone, but she finds fault with everyone.The last guy, we all thought would be her ideal match, she dumped him after one date, because he drank one beer after dinner. And, he asked for her permission.Plus, we have decent jobs for our area, but she wants someone that makes more than us.He can't be bald or have a big belly.Her list is endless.And, this woman is 45 years old!!

Answer 10

honestly, the whole modern idea of "dating" is very messed up.
Guys and girls should go out in groups, not just one boy, one girl.
There should be no displays of physical affection until after engagement.

Old-fashioned? you bet!

god bless
