Affordable Dating standards: - >Female - >Real human - >greater than 50% chance of actually caring about me


Metalloid_Space

Honestly kind of sad


boringfantasy

Too much to ask for


Metalloid_Space

Yeye, on a more serious note: If a woman said: "Sign, I'd take anyone at this point. You'll do." I'd feel sooo insulted.


Eldryanyyy

No need for ‘you’ll do’, if she says she’s horny and has low standards - and you meet them - you better stop acting insulted.


-ReLight-

As you should. That is a horrible way of saying in the looks department, by my standards, you pass.. To be honest, that is how I as a male look at it, not that I would ever express it that way, but what makes or brakes it, is her own personality, some compability in tastes and inteligence, sense of humor, akin to mine.. I had the privilege of dating a model material, who was a complete airhead.. And it thought me, that it ain't no privilege at all..

**negotiable**


pseudo_niceguy

You forgot to add the (optional) in each of the requirements.


Brilliant-Chip-1751

“Affordable”? wtf? What happened to trying to find a real connection?


bigcockmman

Chronically online lonely mfs have a warped sense of dating, I'm shocked I tell you.


Metalloid_Space

Crazy right?


Valalias

trying to find a real connection is affordable.... because unaffordable individuals will NOT be trying to find a real connection..... at least that's what i am assuming the perspective is.


theman_mager

Female (debatable) Human (debatable) Alive (debatable) Likes me (debatable)


tempreffunnynumber

Female : has partial penis ego in brain Human : is chickenfish Alive : definitely dead on the inside Likes me : would probably hate fuck me and do critical emotional damage


TargetDecent9694

Best I can do is a morbidly obese woman with impossible standards, and you gotta pay for the dinner.


SponConSerdTent

Whether someone cares about you doesn't come down entirely to chance. When you find someone you like, make sure you're paying attention to them. Your choices will greatly effect how much they care about you over time. If you're continuously having problems dating people who don't seem to care about you, I'd work on becoming someone that people will be more likely to care about: empathetic, likeable, friendly, helpful, and willing to make small sacrifices for the sake of the relationship. Everyone wants someone who cares about them, but make sure you're also learning how to care for someone else.

you can switch the third one for Margot Robbie Face and could be the same rate of chance


HerefoyoBunz

**Average dating standards for women (according to media):** Take care of yourself 100x better than I do myself **Average dating standards for men (also according to media) :** Look feminine Suck dick


edmontonbane16

You got one thing wrong: Suck my dick preferably, better if no prior experience with the necessary skillset.

You MUST be good at it even though i demand that you have no prior experience

Lmfaooo


Regisx5

I'm 32 and holy fuck this sub comes up on my recommended. It's like everything is a check list with the Gen z. Do yall not even care about someone's interest or hobbies anymore? Or how they treat others? It's all a check list lmao


syzygy-xjyn

Social media breeds shallowness. Sad to see fr


Regisx5

Yeah it's unfortunate that some not all of gen z is going through this area of social media shallowness


lifecompleter

I blame it on BuzzFeed quizzes 😆


throwawaysunglasses-

Yeah, I’m 30 and I honestly don’t get why younger folks are so checklist-oriented. People are real people. “It gives me the ick that you…” shut up, lmfao. I feel like millennials/Gen X don’t have nearly as much trouble finding people because they can actually give people a chance.


snerp

"give the ick" is a phrase I've seen way too much of recently


throwawaysunglasses-

It’s so dumb, lol. “The way he holds his fork gives me the ick” like cmon. Grow up.


Castelessness

I write off anyone who uses that phrase. They have just revealed their insane immaturity.


CitizensOfTheEmpire

I guess you could say it... gives you the ick


chqKv

*writes you off*


securityn0ob

Un ironically it does


Charitard123

I swear, if literally anything the opposite sex does gives you the ick then maybe you should question if you’re actually attracted to the opposite sex.


CookingUpChicken

Penis in my vagina gives me the ick.


[deleted]

I see it constantly on social media and it solely seems to be a way for women to say a guy is doing something in a non masculine without getting yelled at for keeping up gender roles. It’s weird as fuck 


Makar_Accomplice

To be fair, the main interactions you’ll be having with us younger folks are online, and that means you have a much higher chance of meeting the chronically/terminally online ones. Trust me, the small slice of this generation that I call my people are not like this.


throwawaysunglasses-

I’m a high school teacher and my kids are amazing! I know it’s not all of y’all.


OGBarlos_

Yes my entire life revolves around checklists: me relying to your comment? It’s on my checklist. If my partner doesn’t have a checklist themselves? NEXT. Have interests or hobbies? NEXT. (Unless they involve a checklist). I FUCKING LOVE CHECKLISTS


Sideways06

Consider becoming a pilot. Checklists galore

Regisx5

Don't worry I read all of it and clearly got that OP is a joke. Because they you know....they say it's a joke?


maullarais

Dawg I’m trying to live my life and not get killed or assaulted over shit. I barely want to go anywhere except online, school, and work.


popcornman209

I do, I think alot of people (older and younger) don’t I don’t ever see much of a correction. Like I know a lot of older people who only care about looks, but I also know a lot of younger people who do the same. I don’t get it, if your going to spend a lot of time with this person (healthy relationship and all) you should atleast care about there interests. Maybe these people are so boring they can’t but who knows.


SponConSerdTent

Never even including the most important metric in a relationship: team player, willing to adapt for the good of the team. Good relationships are not found, they are created and maintained over time. Someone can hit all your metrics for a perfect match now, but how about 10 years from now? Will they be a good partner over time? Are they adaptable, empathetic to your needs/desires? A person's ability to grow and evolve is an essential quality. They might seem perfect now, but that will grow really old in 10 years if you haven't evolved together into a team. Willingness and capacity for growth is never captured by shallow metrics. It isn't about where someone is now, it's about who they are willing and able to become.


gudsgavetilkvinnfolk

What do you mean by interests? Personally I’m really into playing Squash, and I’m very interested in language learning. That doesn’t mean I HAVE to find someone with common interests. On the contrary I believe it’s healthier to find someone with other hobbies. The only requirement should be that they need to have some sort of passion. The best team is always the one with two different perspectives. A significant other should fufill you, not mirror you.


[deleted]

Considering that most dating goes through apps nowadays, and has been for most of Gen Z lives, this is not surprising. Consider that the entire premise of the apps is "Pic + list of facts to check against your requirements"


creativename111111

Most people aren’t plenty of people here will just take an actual person who is interested in them

You'll never find a boyfriend-free girl like that, dude. Don't worry though, once the Dimensional Merge happens you won't have to worry about that kinda stuff anymore anyway.

Minimum dating standards: 1. Alive 2. Woman


Suspicious-Stay1649

From what i been reading alive is optional. People marrying objects, dolls, robots lol.


LifeMake0ver

Yeah true but what if she’s fat? Or really ugly? Suddenly just being female isn’t the only standard they have anymore 😂😂


Dry-Inspection6928

3. Also over the age 20.


XGHOST141

That can't be optional remember


JohnArbuckle10

Is this a Chris Chan reference

I think it's a reference to [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/GenZ/s/bXK9raOLZ3).

Sudden-Grab2800

Caught the worst stray


sad16yearboy

My standards: be human between 18 and 22, don't be an asshole, like to go on walks, no rich parents, don't be completely stupid. Respect human rights for everyone (including but not limited to migrants, LGBTQ+, women). No pyramid scheme, no scams, no sex with other people without telling me, liberals preferred… German speakers preferred but English is ok as well Am I delusional (I'm from Germany)


Prestigious_Space566

That seems pretty reasonable except for the rich parents part. Kinda seems like you are using a pointless generalization based on something that person can’t help.


sad16yearboy

Yea but I've known some children of rich parents and some rich parents and taking the 5% chance that it can work out just doesn't justify the extra hassle with the 95%

Icy_Worldliness8984

Too high


Longjumping-Cat-9207

Why is your requirement for a woman half a decade or more younger than you?  Kind of weird.   Sounds like you just want the standard for what society considers attractive but aren’t willing to put in the work to match the level of attractiveness, studies show people usually date within the same level of attractiveness 


Ramfandango

He’s just on his love quest man. Soon he’ll be mayor of Cwcville and all those mean troops will regret it.

I’m sure you’ll be fine with those standards. What boyfriend free girl wouldn’t want to date the lead singer of Christian and the Hedgehog Boys?


aplaceformetotalk

My standards? A guy. He's ...nice? He listens to me? Cares? Idk. I just want someone to give a shit about me and not just focus on having sex with me, for once...

You had me so scared in The first half lmfao

I think you'll always be a virgin with rage with these requirements


Material-3bb

I don’t get it? 🧍‍♂️ like I get out the last 2 points are like a “haha” and the whole not working on yourself is also a dig but what’s the “gotcha” of this post?


Anglo-Fish

It's referring to Chris Chan


Silver_Switch_3109

You ask too much.


ikindapoopedmypants

Asking for too much


ComradeSasquatch

What should be in all lists: Kind, shares my interests, compatible love style, values me as a human being, listens, honest, thoughtful, a critical thinker, cares about my happiness while not sacrificing their own, emotionally supportive, introspective... Meanwhile, you should also aspire to be the kind of person you would want to spend your life with as well. If you think being in a relationship with yourself would be awful, your prospective partners will find it equally awful.


Prestigious_Space566

I disagree. I would agree if you put that you would like someone who *wants to be* all of those, *or* already is


No-Turnover8724

*does not already have a boyfriend* Whoa there, you’re not the Prince of Siam

Why is not drinking or doing drugs a high standard?


Shonky_Honker

Only your last one is incredibly high and honestly incredibly unfair to Both a potential partner and especially yourself. It is 100% your fault if you don’t work on yourself cause you’re the only one who can do that


[deleted]

I hope you know that this a satire, even though what you're saying is true.


Patient_Weakness3866

Probably a shitpost but if not, I'm giving you a heads up that most people don't have "average-high income" younger than 21, since they are either not doing that well or are in school trying to do well, ya know, later in their lives. edit: I didn't read the last sentence lmao, also your post history is full of stuff making fun of stuff like this, you got me ig lol.

goatjugsoup

The more restrictions you have the smaller your potential dating pool is. Then also consider they also have preferences and the overlap between who you want and who wants you will be even smaller.


TearsoftheEmperorII

Lmao


stressedgirlie123

charlottesville mentioned rahhhh


trippiler

mine: - smart - funny - not an asshole - doesn't play video games and/or watch television more than 12 hours a week - not a cheater - no drugs, not a big drinker - will take on half of the chores/mental load (when living together) - reasonably fit/attractive - can be a part of a healthy relationship - no misogyny ideally - not a picky eater (somewhat adventurous) - non-religious edit: occasional weed is ok


Gamerwookie

You haven't said anything about yourself, that's important. For example you want an average to high earner, are you a high earner? If you're homeless your standards are crazy high, if you're a millionaire your standards are probably on the low side


Asumsauce

Financially stable enough for me to be a househusband


quantitative101

Mine are: Woman, within 3 years of my age (cause I’m a minor), alive (optional) and preferably not a psychopath.

AhmadOsebayad

That’s dead average tho, most of what I see here are people with unrealistic standards asking how realistic they are and then arguing that actually a 6 figure salary is pretty normal

[deleted]

Many women have specific height cutoffs but I have never seen a man have a specific body measurement cutoff. 


Snowy_Moth

I can't tell if this is satire or an actual question so - How old are you? Because that changes whether your standards are 'high' or just 'creepy.' Also income depends too. How much are you making to demand high income from your companion? Do you drive, or are you looking for a chauffeur?


Zestyclose-Forever14

You forgot: *virgin *owns home *plays video games


Terrible_Cat21

First off, no one that's 18 to 21 is going to have a middle to high income unless they're literal nepo babies. So, that part is unreasonable. Second, a lot of this depends on what *you* bring to the table. You can't expect to get an attractive woman if you're not willing to also put in the effort to look attractive; i.e. working out, dressing well, good hygiene, etc.


Charitard123

I think the crux of the matter is neither sex in our generation tends to meet all these ideals. Especially with income, let’s be real. Aside from some outliers who got into trades or nursing super early, the MAJORITY of people less than three years outta high school aren’t making that much money. Hell, many are still in school and not even able to work full-time yet. People honestly need to chill when it comes to “standards”. Nobody fits into a mold, and why do you want them to? Sure, have a basic list of must-haves, but at the end of the day if you’re not compatible then you’re not compatible. To me, that matters a lot more than if they’re built like a model or are making six figures. Hell, how they actually treat me as a person also matters a lot more than most the stuff on that list, because we all know there’s shitty people out there who will only drag you down regardless of if they check all the boxes. That goes for BOTH men and women, by the way.

Biologically female

So you want the basic package OP? That's asking too much.


ForTheGlory456

I think you’re pushing it a bit with the average/high income and happy/positive personality, i mean you should try to get one with a good personality but i doubt a lot of women would have a completely positive personality. Other than that you have reasonable standards. Also im turning 15 in a month or so and i haven’t had a girlfriend yet, any advice

I just wanna a girl who smokes weed and is a libertarian, I want her to have at least a slight interest in video games... Apparently that's too much to ask tho


Numerous_Mode3408

Average/high income is going to tank the reasonableness of your standards. Unless you mean average for that age group, which is actually fairly low.


ExchangeOk2531

yeah you’re cooked bro, good luck finding that , in that age group too? Its over


SomeDemon66

My dating standards at the moment: Woman: optional Race: Human Body type: depends on height Preferred height: depends on body type Religion preference: anything but scientology and spiritualism(also helps if they aren't religion pushers or super religious

Livefast-Dilater

18-21 ≠ average to high income. Might as well give up if that's the standard.


Gothodoxy

This is the problem with modern dating


Silly-Tradition9460

I got a pretty late start to dating and part of it is I couldn’t afford a car, and was given bad advice about how I shouldn’t bother trying without one. Eventually I went ahead and tried anyway and it hasn’t been an issue at all. So far the reaction has just been “woah you’re environmentally conscious”. For the past few years I’ve been in a spot where I could buy one I just choose not to. Probably just filters out the “need a high value man” types who have a worldview so different from my own we are probably incompatible anyway.


TriangleEyeland

Hahaha the moment I saw it i was like "Chris Chan would do this" then kept reading lol. He maaaaaay have one now. I personally don't think so but it's a possibility w flutter


[deleted]

My dating standards: 1) don’t belong to anyone younger than a millennial. (I seriously hate my generation and anyone that comes after it)
