What high standards? Like what is the “line” of standards that majority men can’t meet?

That’s a really well articulated statement! I think that is a major part of it.

Thank you! I think it’s one of those things you just have to experience it’s hard to describe. For example I will never fully know what it’s like to be a woman walking alone at night. But also a small example today is it was at a bus stop and the only man and every woman at the bus stop turned their back to me, which I understand, but it subconsciously makes you feel isolated.

When you have dozens of men going after you, and you have no incentive to say yes, you’re always gonna have high standards. I’m not blaming women. Women for the most part want a good looking, tall, fit guy who is funny, confident, popular, possibly rich, that sort of stuff. Also as a man you’re expected to initiate everything and face the risk of rejection. If you can’t do most, if not all of that, your chances of getting a date are slim to none

This feels like a bit of a “red pill” take. Most women in my community date “regular” looking men. Like they are cute but not all tall hot gym bros. Many women’s standards has to do with self care, hygiene, and having a general well rounded life

I do all of that but at the end of the day no one likes me because I am one of many options and there’s always someone better than me. And I’m expected to read all the signals and make all the moves and risk rejection or making them uncomfortable. Most women who say their standards aren’t high are rejecting men who meet those standards

Maybe they can sense some level of resentment there. Your experiences are valid but maybe try looking inward.

Doubt it, firstly because I don’t think I give off those vibes and secondly because I stopped trying before I felt as resentful as I do now. Again though, not blaming women. “Don’t hate the player, hate the game” and allat
