Question

How do know if you "want to much" from a man? Is their such a thing as having to high of a standard?

Answer 1

I think it's good to have high standards. You should never have to settle

Answer 2

Never ever settle. Men actually feel MORE attracted to girls who have strong moral standards and a lot of self respect. Cheap and easy girls, are... cheap and easy.

Answer 3

Well high standards are good.. but you also have to bear in mind what you got to offer him.. in return.. it's a two way street.. Women and men are supposed to be equals.. so you should look for a nice quy who treats you with respect.. and you can have a certain physical image you favour..  a guy who is the sporty athletic type.. but you also have to bear in mind that there are other things that make people compatible..  don't go for a guy just because he got a big car or a lot of money to flash around that would be like selling yourself..  go for a guy with a sense of humor and a kind heart... and you will fare better in the end...

Answer 4

Rule #1-Be yourself. Don't try to be like others because something might be good for Ms A, but bad for Ms B.

Don't try to be too tough on setting standards for your man, but know what you want and go for it.

Answer 5

Unless you're playing princess--that is, expecting the guy to grovel and that everything should be your way, you're not expecting too much.  Instead, consider that maybe the guys you're meeting are too young and immature to meet your standard.  If you're very young there may not be much you can do about that.  Only time makes a boy into a man.     Also, consider that however you're getting to know people (parties, classrooms, through friends) may not be the best way to meet the sort of person you're looking for.

Consider what qualities someone who would meet your standards might be like.  Would he be more serious, career oriented?  Try a bookstore, start a reading club, or take a business class at college.  Would he be more of a gentleman with higher moral standards?  Try church groups or volunteer somewhere.

One thing to keep in mind, men aren't women with different anatomy.  Their brains are different.  They think differently.  If this is a new concept for you it might be worthwhile to check out, "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus," or another of the many good books on the topic.  Men won't hold your hand and listen without wanting to fix it.  And they won't be content to share girl talk over pizza and wine because that's not who they are.  But they certainly can be respectful, loving, and loyal and there's no reason to settle for anything less.

Whatever you do, don't let dates or "friends" convince you to settle or make bad decisions just because they have.  Your standards will pay off and your friends will wonder how you got so lucky to find such a great guy.
