I’ve had a discussion recently with my friends (we’re all male btw) regarding dating standards, and I’m told that I have pretty low standards: don’t be obese, don’t be an asshole, don’t cheat, and don’t be a gold digger. I’ve never been in a relationship though, and am not dying to be in one, but it would be a nice experience somewhere down the line. Thoughts?

I think that’s hard to generalize. There are women who have high standards and there are women who just want to be treated right without caring about looks. There are also men who would date anything that presents as female and there are men who have a specific bodytype or personality traits in mind. Could be linked to how attractive you are based on the general opinion, so if you have more choice the pickier you are.
Idk if I’d say either has higher standards. Standards don’t mean the same thing to everyone. If you’re trying to categorize by entire genders, you’re painting with broad strokes and you may want to try to take things more on a case by case basis.
I’m a man and have high standards, not looks wise, as long as I find them attractive I don’t mind. But lifestyle and personality are big things for me, I’m not a conventional person and don’t want to date a conventional person
No
I think women overall have higher standards obviously not all of them but men who are very attractive or well off also tend to have very high standards as well
I think it’s not about gender, it’s about individuals.
In my experience, women tend to have WAY higher and complex standards
Not any kind of rule though
