RSS 2.0 - Blog FeedShould Women Lower Their Standards?
I hear this kind of conversations on the regular basis. Women feeling like there just aren’t enough good men out there, and men believing that women are just too hard to please.
This lead me to wonder, are we as women too hard to please, or, is there really a shortage of good men out there? As I did a bit of research and asked a few women I know, I have come to conclude that it could go both ways. I can honestly say that as a woman, I can sympathize with both sides in this case. Let’s take a closer look.
Women and Their Standards
So, correct me if I am wrong, but for most women, the ideal guy is someone who:
1. Is attractive
2. Can provide
3. Has a decent income
4. Has a promising career
5. Is committed to being in a relationship.
Now, of course, there are those women that have a laundry list of things they’d like their man to have, but, the above five are the qualities that are most commonly sought after. Now simply looking at this list, that is not too much to ask for. However, when you really define what many women want from their guy, these five qualities can seem much more difficult to accomplish. Check out a more detailed description of the above five qualities:
1. Not just a guy who is easy on the eyes, but a man that is drop dead gorgeous. They must have swag like Denzel or the attractive features of Brad Pitt to be a winner.
2. A man who is able to pay the bills all on his own, and even treat you to special things on occasion.
3. He must make at least six figures or at least make $10,000 more per year than you do.
4. While blue collar professions are ok, typically you would prefer someone who is more like a doctor, lawyer, or business executive.
5. A guy who is not going to cheat or lie and always put you first.
Now, when you look at the five standards broken down a bit more, you can see how the men might feel a bit out of the game.
Conclusion
As women, you should want the best for yourself at all times. You are entitled to find your prince charming that will keep you happy for the rest of your life; however, if it’s been a while, and you are still searching for “Mr. Right”, you might want to take a look at your “list”. Let’s face it, nothing in life is perfect, and if you’re holding out for the guy made from perfection, you could be waiting a while.
This does not mean that you have to go find the first man you see and marry him; it simply means that if you find a man, who matches some of what you’re looking for, you might consider giving him a break. I mean think about it, when you talk to your friends, who are happily married or dating you, will find that the guy that they ended up with, is nothing like what they had mapped out. As women we love to plan, but planning to fall in love….. Maybe it’s not the best solution.
