When somebody rejects you because they don't think you are gorgeous enough to go out with them, they may say this.
Boy #1: Hey, do you want to go out sometime?
Boy #2: No thanks. I just have really high standards. You don't reach them, oops.
Boy #2: No thanks. I just have really high standards. You don't reach them, oops.

A major social problem that arises when an individual sets their romantic expectations and standards too high for decent people, who the individual likes, to be able to achieve. Normally it is fine to have some standards, but when descent people are unable to fulfill those expectations because of the large number of them and or because the expectations require extremely large amounts money and resources, require the individual to be in perfect physical shape that most people are not able to achieve, and or require the individual to be skilled at doing things that most people don’t know how to do that well, then the individual's expectations may be set too high. This is highly unethical to do, because extremely high standards tend to be very unreasonable and can prevent decent people from being able to get into a romantic relationship due to factors far beyond control.
Annabeth: Why is Emma so upset?
Lauren: She was in a relationship with a Johnny, but he dumped her because she supposedly didn't fulfill his expectations. The thing was his expectations were very unreasonable to begin with. He expects his partner to have flat abs, not to talk to other boys at all, and spend most of her time with him.
Annabeth: He sounds very inconsiderate. I am sure she will find someone better than him who knows how to treat their partner with respect. It sounds like Emma is another victim of the High Romantic Standards Dilemma.
Lauren: Agreed.

The proper term to use when you know you will be late to a social gathering or event, usually dictates that the person will be around 1-3 hours late past the selected time.
Person 1: Hey, I'll be there at 5 pm Michael Standard Time (MST).
Person 2: Sweet, I'll start preparing around 7.
Person 1: dude WTF, you said you would be here at 9?
Person 2: Sorry, I was held up by traffic, I should have said 9 AM MST.
Person 1: Oh, ok that's cool.
Person 2: Sweet, I'll start preparing around 7.
Person 1: dude WTF, you said you would be here at 9?
Person 2: Sorry, I was held up by traffic, I should have said 9 AM MST.
Person 1: Oh, ok that's cool.

The typically-accepted-as-equivalent "pleasure-reimbursement" that a guy and gal exchange in a particular everyday romantic "transaction".
Two examples of standard rewards:
(1) If a guy allows a visiting gal to use his shower, she lets him accompany her into the shower and dreamily canoodle with her under the warm waterfall.
(2) If a misty-eyed guy wants to give a buxom gal a naked chest-to-chest hug, he'll soothingly massage her back all during said extended deeply-squeezy snuggle-session. (A variation on this "contract" would be that if she lets him savoringly play with her boobs and fondle her butt, he'll massage whatever other body-parts that she requests him to soothe --- i.e., her feet, shoulder-blades, neck, etc. --- for a similar length of time as he pleasures his thirsting hands with her "choicest morsels".)
