45 Delusional And Ridiculously High Dating Standards That Show Exactly Why Finding Love Is Hard
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.

The Beard Stays, But You Can Leave
Wise words to live by. Although I'd shave my beard when the temperature gets too hot to handle but good for the guy.
Right, as your choice cuz it's your hair. Not for some random online
Load More Replies...Upvote because it made me laugh out loud. As a history buff, this hits on a couple of levels: 1. It's a nice paraphrase of a real Franklin quote; and, 2. Ben was a notorious poon-hound. Well Done!
Good for him. Your hair is your hair, wherever it grows and whatever your gender. Do with it what YOU want.
Good for her for expressing her preference of no beards, and good for him expressing his preference of keeping his beard. It's better than trying to change him after they've started dating.
If his physical appearance is a deal breaker, why match with him at all? Just move on!
Load More Replies...Trying to change him, right out of the gate. #Ireallylikebeardsbutifyoudon'thaveonethat'scool
It slipped past BP censors!!! I might swoon from seeing a "naughty" word.
Had to beg for Hubs to grow a beard. He did and it's so sexy! Men are supposed to have beards!
Beards take a long time to grow out and are not exactly the easiest to care for. Asking a man to shave off his beard is akin to asking a woman to shave her head. Some may do it, but most will not.
Beards are the male version of makeup. I’ve never wanted a man with a nice beard to shave, only the guy ones with patchy teenage like sparse hairs.
Anybody who wants you to change something like that is a giant red flag. Ew!!!
Dayum! Good come back and a really cool quote of Ben, if Ben had really said that. Then again, who cares. It's pretty cool.
Sorry but this post should be in second place (it's still in third place as of 9/14/2023 13:09:00 PDT).
Benjamin Franklin was a big fan of going "a whor*in'" whenever he could. True story!
He did love him some French ladies who felt likewise!
Load More Replies...Lou Hoover (President Hoover's wife) had one of the White House butlers fired the first time she saw him. He was bald, and had a beard. She believed that bald men with beards were unlucky.
🤣 Ben Franklin - wasn't he accused of cross dressing? Or is that a different founding father I'm thinking of?
It is a minor edit of a real quote attributed to him
Load More Replies...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.
I Hate These Apps
Not Sure If Red Flag
Where Do I Sign Up
some people are wild. just looking for friends that pay my bills.
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.
"Hi There, I'm A Red Flag. Date Me"
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.

Quite An Intro
It's not high dating standards, he wasn't interested in someone with kids in the first place and wanted to be an a*s and give harsh remark.
A Friend Started App Dating... Incel Ensued
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 :)

She Unmatched Soon After, So She Wasn't Joking
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...

If these are examples of the single people currently seeking partners the future of the human race is doomed!
None of them mentioned personality. Either to describe themselves or in what they’re seeking.
Their personalities showed themselves in the app. Nothing says shallow quite like someone who specifies shoe size, lol.
Load More Replies...JFC.....what is wrong with ppl??? If anything happens to my other half, I will stay single the rest of my days! I'm not taking a dip in any of these gene pools!!!
I was just thinking the same! If my husband should die before me, I'll just get a ton of cats and be done with dating 🤣
Load More Replies...These remind me of when my ex claimed to be 6ft, but when measured at the hospital he was 5'10.5 😂. He insisted they remeasure, then was immediately caught standing on his toes a bit to make himself taller 🤭🤭🤭😂😂😂😂
I'll give you a life tip folks delete these apps and just go outside. You will feel 100% better than whatever hot mess is currently on there ( not everyone but atleast a large portion) . At this point you would probably have just as much luck climbing a munroe or a big hill and just shouting "I'm Single" ....at the very least your echo will give you a reply
These people are delusional and they wonder why they're single. 🙄
Had to stop at #23. My insides hurt. So thankful ive been married for 20yrs. Never been more grateful.
When is the hunting-season for these totally delousional people? Asking for a friend 🤔😇
Fortunately I found my internet date before mobile phones - so at least I knew she was computer literate, which wasn't common in 1999. Still together :)
Please, G!d, keep these people swiping to whatever side keeps them from finding someone to reproduce with.
I am so incredibly glad I got married before dating apps really became a thing.
With all these "catches" around, I'm feeling pretty relieved that I got rid of Tinder ages ago -_-
Funny how so many times people have these 'rules' yet they all go out of the window when they find out they have lots of money.
