15 Reasons Guys Go For The Girl With Low Standards

If you've been in the dating game for quite some time now, you would know the grave importance of standards. Too low and you will end up with an immature jerk; too high and you will end up single. But what is too high and too low in this game? Well, that's up for you to decide. Also, you can make the decision to lower your standards. Why would you want to do that? We have 15 valid reasons here. I get it, most people tell us to never lower our standards. Most people tell us that we should be extra patient if we want to find that someone who fits our cookie-cutter idea of love and prince charming and forever. But the thing is, life is so damn short.

As you probably know, guys are a simple species. They know what they want and they go for it, no questions asked. They may have a small list of standards but it's nothing compared to what us girls have. So guys can get easily turned off from a girl who have a scroll-length of standards. Find out exactly why guys go for the girl who lives in the moment, and has lower standards.

15 He Knows Jerks Are Everywhere Anyway

The whole point of setting high standards is so that you won't end up with a jerk. But guess what, jerks are everywhere. Literally. Even when you think this man is a total catch, even when you think he's a good man, until you get to know him deeply, you won't realize he's a jerk. But trust us, you will get there. You will get to the point where you will question your decision-making abilities because you trusted your standards so much, and you'll end up doubting yourself and not the standards you set. Thus, to save yourself from all this trouble, just lower your standards a bit. Stop thinking about whether or not this man is good for you. If your goal is to date people and explore life, you will end up with jerks no matter how low or high your standards are. The only difference is that way too high standards will make your life more miserable and boring.

14 He Appreciates That Life Is So Much Better When Things Aren't Perfectly Planned Out

It sure is! Seriously, what is the point of living when you try your best to plan everything? When you want to be in control of everything… why are you dreaming of that fun life when you're obsessed with nothing but the best of the best? See, this is the problem of most women: they want to enjoy life (because, well, we only got one life) but at the same time, they do everything in their power to not enjoy it. This is so damn stressful, woman. Stop planning and stop aiming for the best of the best because chances are, you won't get it. No matter how high your standards are, if the man is not for you, he isn't going to be your boyfriend. Got that? Just leave it to the universe and enjoy your life, okay?

13 He Feels That High Standards Are Way Overrated

As much as we want to say this is untrue, we can't. High standards in dating and relationships are just, well, overrated. They're a thing of the past and they're something very few people still pay a close attention to today. This is the era of living wild and free, woman. This is when you need to let go of things and trust that the universe has a plan for you. More importantly, trust that a good man is destined to be your partner in life, not just a dating buddy or something. Thus, instead of having high standards to hopefully spare you from pain, trust yourself that you can handle any pain that will come your way. Learn to be observant and keen and rely on your guts, instead of your standards. Believe it or not, this will help you greatly in not ending up with a jerk.

12 He Knows You Don't Want To Live Alone

You'd be a social person (or at least someone who won't shut people out immediately) and you'll be open to meeting people. Just because you met someone or you dated someone once or twice doesn't mean you will end up with him. So go out there and have fun. Drag your friends if you need to. Most of the time, high standards in dating are generally too much. Today, people listen and trust their friends and their inner-selves than the standards they have. We all have standards, the only difference is that most women these days are learning to be more and more open-minded.

11 He Doesn't Want You To Harp On Your Long List Of Standards

If you keep on expecting too much from a man, if you keep on wishing for a perfect man instead of a simple partner in life, you will end up too preoccupied. Heck, this list, this set of standards, it will eat you alive! Is that what you want? Or are you okay with a simple life where you and your partner will explore life and grow together? Because if you are, you might as well ditch the list of high standards and go for a simpler one.

And nothing else can be more painful than that. You think you can thank your high standards when such time comes?

3 Guys Know If You're Preoccupied With Your Standards You Won't Enjoy Relationships For What They Are

If there's one reason we're all born into this world, that is so we can enjoy this thing called life. Nobody cares how you enjoy it, really… you can climb the corporate ladder and be in the rat race, you can travel the world, you can unleash your creativity, and there are countless ways. But in between these big moments, there are also smaller ways to enjoy life, and one of the most common ways is to date. Socialize, meet other people, fall in love and let your heart be broken. That's basically the point of being alive. But hey, you got your high standards so don't expect to enjoy your life. Unless enjoyment for you means curating every single man you meet like they're some vintage vase in a museum and you're secretly waiting for them to crack.

2 Lowering Your Standards A Bit Is Also An Act Of Self-Love

It is? Well, duh?! By lowering your standards, you're also allowing yourself to become vulnerable. You're accepting the fact that you will meet someone who will hurt you, and you're pampering yourself enough to be ready for the day the pain arrives. I'm not saying spend your life getting ready for the pain, but it's part of it. Pain cannot be erased anyway. So when you choose to lower your standards, you're choosing to love yourself more. You're allowing yourself to experience life and to actually enjoy it. Now that is something not all women see. And sometimes, by the time they realize it, it's all too late. They don't have any spare time to date because being an adult and doing adult responsibilities are their top priority. So now, while you're still young and you can still afford to fight your boss because you know you can get another job again pretty soon, make the most it.

1 And What He Doesn't Want You To Forget Is; Men Can Be Flexible Too, He Can Meet Your Standards

Have you ever asked yourself what's the point of your high standards? Because in case you don't know (or you forgot) men are growing. They evolve, they learn, they grow mature. So when you stick with your high standards and you date or build a relationship with an already matured man that took you years to find, that's not a guarantee he won't become a child. That's not an assurance that he won't turn into his immature self. See, standards in general are there to help us find a good partner. Instead of abusing its power and guidance, use it well. Understand that men, too, can grow mature. They can be someone better if you just give them a chance to be part of your life. Are you brave enough to do that? Or will you always be afraid?
