Being picky and having high standards is the most damaging when you are unrealistic about your own value in the dating landscape.

This is where people have too high of an opinion of themselves.

They develop such a high sense of self that they expect the same unrealistic qualities in a significant other.

Today, we live in a politically correct world where people are constantly being told that they are of high value in physical appearance, character, and accomplishments.

With this constant influx of false indoctrination, lots of people develop a false idea of their own value.

Especially unsuspecting and gullible women.

She believes that she is far prettier than she really is because family, friends, and social media have told her throughout her life that she is gorgeous.

Whatever achievements she accomplishes in education or her professional life further make her believe that her value is astronomical as a potential partner to a high-value mate.

But she doesn’t anticipate what this high-value mate considers to be of value.

She doesn’t consider that he doesn’t care all that much for her university degrees or that she is a highly paid professional.

She has been misled into believing that at minimum she deserves her equivalent in great physical looks, education, and socio-economic status, if not better.

This makes her picky in who she chooses to pair with.

Her family, friends, and social media continue to tell her that she deserves nothing but the best in a prospective mate on account of her great looks and accomplishments.

Sadly, she is being lied to.

She isn’t anywhere near as good-looking as she has been led to believe.

Her education and professional accomplishments aren’t anywhere near as important to an equivalent match as she has been led to believe.

Her pickiness and high standards are misguided.

Yet, they are now a part of who she is.

She can’t help but believe that her value is exceptional and that she deserves nothing but the same value or greater in a potential mate.

This keeps her single.

As more and more women become more educated and financially secure, their standards for who they want to partner up with become elevated.

She genuinely believes that she is of high value and deserves nothing less than the best there is in a potential significant other.

Notwithstanding, the cruel truth is that the greater her accomplishments, the fewer men there are to meet her standards in a potential significant other.

There are far fewer men with advanced university degrees and high-paying professional careers than there are without.

Furthermore, most people are average looking, which includes both men and women.

When a woman who is average looking has been led to believe by family, friends, and social media she is gorgeous, she naturally believes she deserves a gorgeous man as a potential mate.

This makes her turn a blind eye to the majority of men, who are average-looking, even though she is average-looking herself.

This pickiness has led to more women than ever before putting off marriage until their late twenties and early thirties.

Many of them stay single, waiting for the man that they believe is their equivalent match or better.

Sadly, there are only so many great-looking, highly educated, professionally successful men to go around.

These men are very much in the minority, and many of them end up becoming players, taking advantage of all the women that want to be with them.

This keeps these men single for a longer period of time than is customary, but by choice, as they sleep with an infinite number of women.

While the women that sleep with these exceptional men continue to wait, haplessly hanging on to the hope that these men will eventually commit to them alone.
