Ridiculous dating standards have become increasingly prevalent in today's complex dating landscape. From demanding and meticulously curated dating app profiles like Tinder to expecting a partner to fulfill an exhaustive checklist of physical, emotional, and financial criteria, these standards often overshadow genuine connections in a world that is already too dependent on technology.

For a lot of people, such unrealistic expectations can lead to disillusionment and missed opportunities for actually meaningful relationships, as the pursuit of perfection overshadows the beauty of embracing imperfections and discovering genuine compatibility between two people. That being said, it's crucial to strike a balance between having standards and boundaries that reflect personal values and being open to the unpredictability of love and human connection.

Wise words to live by. Although I'd shave my beard when the temperature gets too hot to handle but good for the guy.

Despite the standards that come with modern relationships, did you know that there is actually a subcategory for certain dating requirements? For example, the “Six-Six-Six” rule! Some people joke about finding someone who has at least a six-figure salary, is six feet tall, and has six-pack abs. And hey, while it's fine to have preferences, demanding all three can eliminate many potential partners who might be a perfect fit in other, more important ways.

Oh, and since we are talking modern, have you ever thought about your social media presence? In case you didn't know, there are people who are expecting their potential date to have an Instagram-worthy life or a certain number of followers. This in turn can overshadow real-life interactions and the authentic moments that make relationships so meaningful to us in the first place.

Actually, yes, if you read 'Ask Aubrey' on Twitter, you regularly see Tinder screenshots exactly like that. Incels are wild.

Another thing that is rather common when it comes to dating standards is simply expecting someone to have no romantic history. Not only is that unrealistic but it also denies the growth and experiences that past relationships often bring to the table between two people who want to form something deeper.

These people shouldn't be ridiculed. They should be thanked for being direct and praised their honesty and declined further dating. Otherwise they will finally change their ways and hide how f****d up they are and will finally find some victim whom they will be able to control. This way everyone's warned and can back easily before any harm is done :)

Why is it that in so many of these cases, people lash out at the other person even though that other person said nothing rude or called them names? Such horrible behavior! It's been years since I've dated on the Internet, and I tried my best to be civil if I wasn't interested. Now, when I look at these, I wonder if I'll ever manage to get into online dating again... yeesh...
