Everyone telling you to lower them doesn’t even know what they are. If you’d rather be alone than with someone who doesn’t meet all your standards, keep your standards. If some of your standards aren’t quite as important (e.g., height, hair color), you could consider expanding them to a wider range. Or if you only want to date your age +- 2 years, allow your age +-4 years. Might be little things like that.
