[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marry someone like your father and grandfathers.

For better or worse, most women marry men just like their fathers. And if they didn't, they had to try really hard not to.

I disagree with the person upthread, if you're having trouble dating, your standards are not too high. It's more likely that you need to work on yourself. Becoming the best you that you can be, loving yourself, having hobbies and educating yourself. [/quote]
So long as a person recognizes they need to do better (and for women, "do better" isn't referring to income or education, but rather the things men care about: looks, personality, and hobbies), then I agree that their standards are not too high. However, if they refuse to improve themselves in the aforementioned ways (and more), while still holding those same standards... Then their standards are indeed too high.

In regards to your previous statement about marrying men like your father/grandfather, I do agree, but with a caveat: [i]marry a man like your father [u]when he was your age[/u][/i]. Naturally, if you're 25 and your father is 55, you are not going to meet a man your age who has the same level of maturity, intelligence, and resources than your father - you'd have to date a man closer to your father's age. However, if you date a man who is like a younger version of your father, you'll find that means a man who generally shares your  life vision, but is still growing in maturity, status, wealth, etc.

Expecting a 25 year old man to provide the same quality of life as a man who is at the end of his career or retired is unrealistic.[/quote]
