High Romantic Standards Dilemma

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.

Double standard

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.

community standards

A bunch of KGB spies of their snowflake division monitor everything you post or say and put you in the Facebook Gulag without a trial or appeal. This is one small step towards communism

A consistent standard

You need to apply a consistent standard.

Hym "You're not applying a consistent standard and you don't have a right to do this. You have to on some level understand that I don't just have to accept this as 'my life' and leave your kids out of it. You're wrong to do this and you cannot be allowed to use this against people without consequence. But I can threaten your kids without there needed to be any consequence. You kids lives do not matter more than mine and I'm not going to apologize to you. Make a statement or else. This is the way it needs to for me to agree to not murder your kids over this and I'm not accepting any conditions or contingencies."

The Kavanaugh Standard

This refers to the fact that most U.S. citizens who vote for judges do not do research the candidates and instead choose based on superficial criteria. E.g. can they boof?

How did you pick judges when you voted yesterday?
I kinda just picked names that didnt sound like a lady or a foreigner.
Ahh...the Kavanaugh standard

Double standard

A standard that works one way for one person or group, and another for a different person or group.

The reckless and careless girl that got in several severe accidents while driving intoxicated on ambien and alchohol or just drunk (and also got her dog hospitalized due to negligence) was the one posting public service announcements on all the electronic signs on a roadway about how people should drive safely or go to jail, drive drunk and lose their license, or to stay hydrated and not drive drowsy or sleepy, or preaching against cruelty to animals while asking for donations on TV ads. That's a lot like a mayor being on crack and having people arrested for smoking weed or any other drugs for that matter. Some people can poke fun at the double standard of another human and judge them, but don't want to get judged in return, they tell you don't judge me when they judge as much as everybody else.
