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.

Get the High Romantic Standards Dilemmamug. by Step lupid March 26, 2021
Get the Standard pengmug. Also called PST. Used to define the non-proportionality of time while self-isolating at home during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
I don't even know what day of the week it is anymore. March lasted for 6 years, April exactly 6 minutes and May 6 seconds. It's like we're following some kind of Pandemic Standard Time!

Get the Pandemic Standard Timemug. The world doesnt try to shame females who think their social skills are perfect, the world tries to shame males who are perceived as having no social skills (though a lot of this comes from the same people who claim they're being shamed themselves, not society). The reality is there are no human victims, if theres one species that deserve to suffer, its humans.
Double standards are when one group's behavior is defended, but the same behavior in another group is condemned. So, pretending to suddenly jump to a male's defense when you finally discover oh shit, not all double standards work in a male's favor, or are perpetuated by males, or people other than yourself, and now you want to try and be the solution doesnt work. You are as much the problem as anybody else, you are as much the hypocrite as anybody else, even if you dont get that you are.

Get the Revised Standardmug. 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.

Get the Michael Standard Timemug. Having missionary position sex, under a bunch of blankets, because it's cold, while a moose watches (either in the room or through a window) because there are lots of moose in Saskatchewan.
I was giving Mildred the Saskatchewan Standard last night and I'll be damned if the moose didn't wink at me.
