Standards!


Question Posted Monday December 3 2007, 4:53 pm

This is for either girls or guys.

What are your standards for someone you would date?

Sometimes I think my standards are a little too high, so I was just wondering about other people's. Looks; type of personality; color hair; height; style; family; beliefs etc. Not really your ideal person, but rather (Put bluntly) what MUST they have or be?

Thanks

I can't personally speak from experience in terms of dating numerous amounts of people. However, I will say that dating isn't so much about finding the right person to love, its about learning how to love.

It isn't all the fun times spent together that alone hold together a relationship. It's also the rough times held out and all the problems encountered and dealt with.

In terms of standards of others, try to set some for yourself. Ideally, you would want somebody who shares the same values as you anyways, right? Since I never really had standards to begin with, but have been in a long term relationship, I can say that they remain to be that she has to be smart and pretty. If they are willing enough to love, the rest will fall into place. Hope that helped.

I personally think you should pretty high expectations because dating is all about finding the person you want to spend the rest of you life with (when your young that almost seems funny! but its def. true btw im only 14 myself ;] )

My standards are:
-don't really care about looks as long as he is not really ugly!
-must have self-confidence!!!
-has to treat me with respect and abide my what i say is ok and what i say isnt-there is NO even trying to persuade me-im worth the wait ;]
-must be a strong Christian and have a good relationship with God so he understands and agree with what i think is right and wrong and can help and support me with a Christian standpoint
-We have to be good friends first because i have tried staright into relationships and that NEVER worked well
-Must be kind and have a good sense of humor
-He has to really understand me and that is difficult for sum people but the special few that can are my amazing friends ;]
- i will not limit myself to what they look like but they shouldnt be shorter than me im only 5'3!
-and he just has to trust me and love me for who i am and we have to make sure to have a great friendship underneath the relationshop and remember that we are still living for God only now we are doing it together

things like that and i actually think i have found that boy! i know it's pretty religous but thats who i am-hope i helped!!! ;]

A guy has to be at least somewhat good-looking to get my attention at first. The basic next thing that I look for is a good sense of humor. It is good not to set too high of standards, because you never know who you could be missing out on!

My standards for a guy are usually pretty high. A guy that I date has to have a good personality overall. It's important that that person can make you laugh, but also be serious when necessary. The guy also has to be cute. Looks do matter, but only to a point. If they have a cute personality, it totally can make up for it. And thats pretty much it. Just someone you can be yourself around and have fun with. Thats the most important (:

Creative and interesting! Of course I prize a sense of humor, and I like 'em shy, but not unsure or insecure.

Then, all the qualities I feel a relationship needs to have: honesty, respect, and loyalty.

uisforukelele answered Monday December 3 2007, 8:33 pm:
well, here are my standards (generally): the first thing is that they have to have a passion for something. i don't care what it is, but i can't stand it when people just go through life without really making a difference in anything. hair color, eye color, and all that stuff doesn't matter as much to me. i don't go for "emo" or "goth" or "punk" guys at all. i also don't go for "jock" guys or whatever... i just like normal guys. they don't have to be "hott" or whatever- i'm certainly not a supermodel, but i'm cute, and i would date somebody who is cute. and i enjoy hanging out with people who are very, very open-minded. i would not ever date somebody who can't respect other people's beliefs or religion or whatever. there are some other things, too- i like artistic people, in general, because i am an abstract person. it is good to have high standards (i do, but this was only the major points), because you are less likely to get in a relationship just because some guy thinks you're hot or whatever.

yourrtrustyhelpline answered Monday December 3 2007, 7:42 pm:
they must be atleast somewhat decent looking, taller than i am, and have a good personality. they have to be able to be themselves and not be influenced easily by others. they must be loyal and a good friend as well as a good boyfriend. oh and for some reason, i only like guys that dress nicely and look clean. i don't know why, but yeah, that's just how it is. besides that, nothing else really matters.

thelaura answered Monday December 3 2007, 7:30 pm:
They must be themselves, have a good personality, make me laugh, share the same interests.. When it comes to looks, I prefer darker hair colours, (although have dated blondes in the past), taller than me. that's about it. I'm not too fond of really short hair. and I love nice eyes. Everyone has their own individual style, so I'm happy with however they look, as long as there's nothing too distracting with them. I really do despise the way people have such high standards. People need to learn to take a look what's inside, not just how a person looks.

straight teeth. crooked teeth drive me insane, they don't have to be drop dead gorgeous, they just have to make me laugh. i could never date a guy who spends more time in the bathroom than me. usually i go for athletic guys but i usually find more luck with guys who don't.

icey0990 answered Monday December 3 2007, 6:46 pm:
Well, i dont consider my standards high. Maybe because i dont feel i am extremely good looking, i dont expect my boyfriends to be. A big thing with me is a good personality. I want to be able to laugh, have fun with, and go out to places with my bfs. I look for the chemistry connection, trust, honesty, loyalty,etc. Looks are a plus but not essential to me. I love it when a guy has beautiful eyes i can just gaze into, but looks really takes a backseat when it comes to the guys i like. if i get along with a guy, like his sense of humor, and have a good time being around him, im happy with that. the guy can be anyone except for goth. i dont really like that style. everyone has their own standards, its not a bad thing if yours are higher..everyone is different! :)
