For me having higher standards isn't about looks. It's about knowing your worth and not letting people treat you differently. I treat people with respect, honesty and kindness.. I expect the same in return. If that makes me have high standards, then I'm okay with that. |

Nobody knows but the individual in question. Everyone has their own "standards" and different things that are important to them. There is no right answer to any questions about people's preferences.

Erm you're saying standards aren't about looks then using looks to illustrate your point. Nobody ever equates an unfit body or a slim woman with a good personality in these examples. |

It's very personal surely? For me higher standards mean I want to be treated with respect here not as a free sex worker. Nothing to do with what men look like. |

Standards start with how you look. I don't mean body shape or type, I mean presentation. I hold myself to the same standards I expect from other people. Present yourself well personally and physically, be the person you expect other people to be. That means to me anyway, don't judge a person on their physicality, whatever it might be |

My "standards" keep me away from the ass hats, looks have nothing to do with it. You could make me drool but if you lie im not interested if you think im just a fuck im not interested, those kind of things.
Im not sure what higher standards mean everyone has different preferences. |

People often mock the old cliché of quality before quantity but I stick by the principle as for me it had nothing to do with the quality of quantity of sex and everything to do with the quality of person.
In fab terms I don't need sex and therefore will never lower my standards just for a shag.
It's not even in my top 5 list of priorities and will choose friendship with a person of good character over a fuck n go every time.

. This.
Nothing to do with looks. I’m either attracted to someone’s looks or I’m not. Not sure what that has to do with standards. |

It's all relative to your own standards (preferences or limits). To lower your standards would be to do something outside of that. Using the term 'higher standards' can sound derogatory as it implies your standards are better than someone else's as it's relative to theirs. Better to say 'different standards'. |

I'm not a big fan of the word standards when it is used to describe who people would meet. We all have preferences and there's nothing wrong with that but standards implies an assessment of another person's worth.
I do appreciate that not allowing yourself to be treated as a piece of meat requires you to have standards for yourself but so often when you see it in profile's the implication isn't that the person sets themselves standards but rather they expect others to meet their value assessment. I have no interest in meeting people like that.

I wouldn't say looks, as in someone's face or body, as that comes under attraction. But I would put their personal presentation under the standards category, if they're well groomed and dressed appropriately for wherever we're meeting...for instance if we were meeting at a smart pub I'd be irked if they turned up in tracksuit bottoms and a hoody. But in a way that falls under respect, as in they didn't have enough respect for me to make an effort with their presentation. |
