Why do men in general have lower standards than women?

[CMNILS87]

Men are the romantics. They (non-to) want to believe in some kind of higher power love and how it's all unicorns and rainbows.

"Men will literally give love a shot with any woman they find the least bit attractive". Mike birbiglia

High-value men have high standards. Men with fewer options have low standards.

ALL women when they approach the WALL begin to drop their standards and settle. If a man puts in the work while he is younger and becomes a high-value man, then the bar is set even higher as he matures.

Words of wisdom. I bet George Clooney wasn't out there banging 6's and 7's once he was rich and famous. It's the same principle involved in hungry. You'd eat a bug if you were starving..

This fits in with the ingrid theory very well. A lot of men judge women simply on looks. A girl can literally offer nothing aside from looks and get a lot of interest.

I see hot girls on Facebook joking that they are psychotic, yet they get chased incessantly.

A lot of men will take hot and nothing else.

Women judge men off how they make them feel.

Have you ever noticed that where ever there is the illusion of money, there will be the most attractive women?
It doesn't matter if its luxury bars, Galleria Mall(rich peoples mall), suites at an NFL game, sugar daddy websites, expensive restaurants, rich part of town, etc.

What does that say about the character of the most attractive women?

They care about what they can attain out of it. It's the entire point. These are literally shiny, flashing, bobbing baits that dumb fish go after and put their life on the line for.

However there is a small subset of "attractive" women who are humble or "grew" with their man, and they are good partners. But a majority of attention whoring, always have to have the right pose ones, etc. It's no accident guy.

I'd argue that many guys don't follow boundaries and assign value to things that don't have value in pertinent areas.

Guys should be able filter 80-90% women into the not interested, one night stand, FWB, LTR categories within 10 minutes or less after meeting a girl. The problem is that too many guys try to put the ONS chicks into the LTR grouping and can't happen because you can't turn a ho into a housewife.

Feminism and the breakdown of the family unit and traditional gender roles.

Women didn't used to be encouraged to be promiscuous sluts in fact they used to be institutionalized for such behaviour.

Used to be the guys who got chased, as a man you were to just look after your career and take care of yourself and you'd have a loyal wife who society encouraged to be devoted to you.

Then comes feminism "you go girl" slerp with whoever, reality show lifestyle etc.

Women are not biologically set up for multiple partners, men are, this is biology nothing sexist about it.

So women get more and more unstable and hormonal, single mothers become common. We have a generation of guys raised by selfish, emotionally messed up single mothers and feminists who raise their sons to be beta.

These betas go out into the dating world and will settle for lesser women just to get that female validation they were raised to be dependent on.

The women get pregnant then leave the beta and become single mums

And on and on it goes.

^^ This right here. Outstanding post.

Women want the best guy.

Men want any girl.

Women don't have higher standards than men. Women have different priorities than men.
