Men: do you ever get told to lower your standards or else you’ll end up alone?
It’s just something I’ve observed as a woman. I’ve been told this, that I shouldn’t be picky and take what I can get, or that I should be grateful for any attention that I get.
I’ve always been a very stubborn and uncompromising person, so I never listened and ended up with someone that exceeded my standards. 🤷♀️
But I can see this working on women who aren’t as self assured as I am, which is sad. Don’t listen to those losers.
It’s better to be alone than with someone who doesn’t fulfill you.

Yes, the social role of advertising convinces us that no one is out of reach, to value superficial qualities and life teaches us that I'm reality the proverbial "she" that lives in guys' minds are never going to be interested in us. But, you never know I guess.
@SW-User if you’re told no one is out of reach, then why lower your standards? What I mean by this, I’ve been told that I’m not “special enough” to have what I desire in a partner, so I need/deserves less that what I want. What I desire I wouldn’t even consider superficial, people just assume I’m superficial when I say I have high standards. It’s just in reality, I don’t get along with most people so it’s hard to find compatible personalities.

@666Maggotz That makes total sense. You deserve someone who makes you happy.
