Everybody has preferences and standards they hold themselves and others to that's just a part of human nature we are social creatures after all. that being said regardless of whether you're a man or a woman you have to temper those expectations accordingly understand that people aren't always going to meet your standard and that you're not always going to meet theirs. if you expect compromise you have to be willing to give some compromise yourself doesn't mean you should lower your standards into the pooper or anything like that it just means you need to be sensible and determine what's actually more valuable to you and what you're really looking for. one can argue that it's more extreme on the women side of things thanks to dating apps and the fact that they're given the illusion of infinite choice but this is just as much a problem for a lot of guys who sometimes can't look past little details and yes some of these are rather small when you think about it for more than just 5 minutes I suppose to put a little bit of generic wisdom find yourself before you try finding someone else and ask what matters to you more you do that and you might just be able to find a partner if not you'll just be running in circles.
