The Real Reason Why Women Are Triggered At The Dating Standards Of “Subpar” Men
I know this may be difficult to hear, but men are allowed to have whatever standards they please that not only you do not meet, but they don’t meet themselves.
Hit dogs always holler. If something doesn’t apply to you, you don’t feel the need to make anyone feel terrible about themselves because nothing they say is making you feel terrible about yourself! But when it comes to men, for some reason everything they say applies to women. This is largely why women cannot ignore them.
Seriously, why on earth does it matter if a man you would never date, fuck, marry or procreate with have standards that you don’t meet? Unless…you feel as if you must meet any requirements men create even if you are not attracted to them?
I believe the real reason lies in women unconsciously trying to please people without the conscious realization that one, they don’t have to do this shit and two, they are not even pleased by the people they are trying to be pleasing for. Our people pleasing tendencies have been indoctrinated into our psyches since girlhood (actually, this has been passed down to us generationally through our female ancestors), where we were trained to be likable at any cost.
