Do you set standard for your man/woman?

I used to have criteria set for my ideal man.., a set of standards for a "too good to be true" kind of guy.., but when I met the one I wanted to be with for the rest of my life with.., Voila! all of my standards were blown off by the wind..=)

If you love the person, you don't set standards. Loving someone is accepting the kind of person for who they are FLAWS and all. Nobody's perfect and setting standards only mean that you don't love them for who they are and you're just in love with the idea of being in love. It's like infatuation.

It is actually normal to set standards to the partner that you wanted to be but of course if you are in love with a person it does not meet all your dreams. It can be opposite or incomplete. However we must accept his flaws that we have to help him/her to improve the wrong doings.

hello fherfher! when i was younger, i had set my standards of my MAN. However, like you, i too learned that when love sweeps you off your feet, all standards will fly out the window. Love after all does not recognize standards, it only take cognizance of the feelings you start to feel when you meet your man. and when you do realize that your man is far from what you had envision him to be, you're too in love to care anyway, lol.

Love is unconditional and we compromise so many of our standards while in love. When it is true love I do not believe we set standards. As you say in your discussion when we are in love, we just love. Be blessed and have a great day.

No, It's a individial. If i like her i like it. I don't now it's spontaneously.It doesn't matter standards and other things if i lap with her. I need only a few hours to know that i like her.

When i was in college i had set a standard in mind that my GF need to be well educated, supportive and jovial. We alwasy do think and sometimes it does not happen the way we think...truely love is blind.

girls always have their standards for their dream guy. but they don't always get to be with their dream guy, at least physically. what i mean is, we know to what physical attributes we get easily attracted to so we set this as our standard for our dream guy. Like for me, i'd love to have tall, bald, non thin not fat, musically inclined guy. and all of us look for characters like honest, sweet, loving and all these. and though we don't find these things to one man we still fall because the feeling of loving is inevitable whether he fits your standards or not.
