...to lower my standards

...and what are they anyways. (i guess i only right in this thing during the two weeks right after my period:) when the tectonic hormone shift is happening in my body and i get extra sensitive and sappy to the whole world for no reason. and then the 2 weeks before next period the hormones shift again and the whole world is the happiest place to be in again....so anyways)...

...talking about the compatibility and relationships with people...i mentioned a well know fact to couple co-workers that it seems that people you would never imagine to be attracted to are attracted to you and are insisting on your attention, yet the people you really want to be involved with pay no attention whatsoever...and i just realized that for unreachable people i'm probably in the same category as where i'm putting people that i don't want the attention from....

...my co-worker said "why don't you lower your standards"? what should my response be?:)
...if i lower my "standards" then that makes me unhappy!... but do i really have such high standards?...is it called a standard? ...i know i've been shaped by my culture and upbringing and influences in my life to be attracted to certain type of face, certain type of attitude, certain type of character and behavior....and for now i can't seem to break that...that's what i like and that's what i'm attracted to...
...is the opposite way - to meet a person and have a conversation and not like them and keep trying to like them? no right?...are all of us wishing for too much when we want to have an easy conversation and finishing each other's sentences and thinking alike? is that called having too high of a standard for the opposite sex?
