In terms of dating do you raise or lower your standards?

So, I've been thinking and only have I been thinking because today my close friends told me I constantly go for guys below me rather than going for guys on the same level of attractiveness or aiming higher.

What do you tend to do?

Do you deliberately aim higher/lower or is it something you don't even realise you're doing?

Why do you aim higher/lower?

I know this is a very conceited post, but, it's interesting to hear others opinions!

I don't "aim" for anything. I date people I like that I find attractive. It's pretty basic.

 

I didn't mean for you to take the word "aim" quite so literally. I meant in terms of dating, the people you find attractive are they better looking than you or...?

Probably lower.

 

Any female that is attractive to me is most likely already targeted by 5 other guys in the same area and I don't have the firepower to win in a head-on competition against 5 others.

 

It's not like most women in a bar is looking for an actual serious relationship anyway.

Instead of raising or lowering them, why not move them sideways? Or maybe in a diagonal directon?

I dont do the league thing.......i love sports, i dont consider dating to be sport....when a guy asks me for a date if we have common interests i accept and see how it goes.....i rarely ask a guy on a date, I will only kamikaze myself for someone i am attracted to, I have been told that i have dated someone i will outgrow...twice to be exact......and i did......it was nothing to do with looks it was to do with intellectual capability, they didnt get me and i didnt get them, i still gave it my best shot....i dont do leagues...deb

Leagues of attractive are not my bag. There's women who I'm attracted to, and women I'm not. To be honest, standards come into it where things outside of looks are concerned.

I would love to raise my standards all the time, but great, amazing, breath taking people are very hard to find, so I am doing my best to stick with interesting and fascinating people, the least ;)!

 

Kiddin', I'd never date a guy that I don't genuinely like, even if I don't feel like I wanna rip his clothes off and bang him on the girl's bathroom :o
