Similar to a double standard, but with an added dimension. This term specifically relates to how individuals operate in a developed country, particularly in a judgemental community/institution. This term also relates to people who are highly individualistic, who could really make more of an effort to assist others, but don't.
For example, there is a difference between what people say, do, and think. They might speak of one thing, have a different motive then they suggest, and do something totally different then they say they would do in a given situation.
This term can complement 'two-faced', but in this situation the person is 'three-faced'. One thing is objective: they are out for themselves

many university professors exhibit the 'triple standard'. you would assume they care about their students, but many really don't. they might say they would help/listen to you, but dont. and they might lead you to believe something that isnt true just because they enjoy authority and power.

The Triple Six Standard represents the three characteristics most women yearn for in a man. The first is being 6 feet tall or taller, the second is having a 6-inch penis or larger, and the third is having an income of 6 figures or more.
Yeah, the Triple Six Standard is harsh, since two of the three characteristics we have no control over. - random upset man
