High Standards when it comes to relationships?

No one's perfect.

No one's better than anyone.

So why set standards? Is it really worth it?

Standards =/= Preference.

*Robin Williams to Matt Damon*

"So call her up Romeo."

"Why, so I can realize she's not that smart, that she's *&^% boring? This girl's like ^%%^ perfect right now, I don't want to ruin that."

"Maybe you're perfect right now and you don't want to ruin that."

Seriously, it is worth it.

If you've found the right person.

Understand, it only works if both side give 100%. 50 - 50 don't cut it. People are imperfect...everyone has their "little idiosyncrasies", but are you both committed to making it work? Also, the more your goals and values align, the easier it is to make it work.

Why not get into a relationship with a rock?

@mysticmedivh: lmfao !

Of course there should be standards. Standards =/= Perfection.

Because I don't want to date someone ugly and annoying.

I don't mind being alone, so you better be a better company to me than I am to myself if you want to be in a relationship with me.

I agree no one should have standards....if you do you are shallow trash.

Setting standards doesn't mean you can't find a compromise.

So it's unreasonable to want an attractive, intelligent girl with a great sense of humor?

This.

I believe that, if somebody is humble, they tend to be worth talking to. My only standard is that they must try to understand what I need as much as I try to understand them.

No one should have standards? Don't be ridiculous. You have to be attracted both emotionally and physically to whomever you're in a relationship with.

@ryagan: HIGH standards.. HIGH.
