Standards. Where are yours?

Oh my sweet Jesus. It kills me when I see beautiful men and women living below what should be their standards. COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!! How can we expect people to act a certain way, or treat us a certain way when we conform to their lifestyle of no goodness. For example, a woman willingly accepts a man with no job and no money but gets mad when she hasn't been on a date in months? Hello, what did you expect. You didn't set the bar high enough when you first started dating so now he thinks its OK to order a pizza and get boot leg movies and considers that a date! Now, i know we are in a recession. but that is no excuse for a beautiful woman, who was raised right to have a no good a$$ man, sitting on her couch all day playing video games!
What im trying to say is, set your bar high in the beginning. Let he or she know what you will not stand for, and if they can't get with it, they can get lost. I know several people right now who are settling for less. and it disgusts me. Settle for less for what? There is not a shortage of men and women in America. People just need to be patient. Me, personally, i REFUSE to settle for a loser who has nothing going for himself. Why? If he doesn't have enough respect for himself to take care of business, how can i expect him to take care of me? I'm not asking someone to pay my bills and fund my spending habits, I simply mean take care of home...or take care of relationship duties.
Not to sound snooty, or big headed, but thats just the way it is. I have too much respect for myself to allow some no good guy in my life. To be on my team, you have to have at least what I have or more. and thats that. Thats what the women in my family taught me and im sticking to my guns. Oftentimes people get lonely, so they take what they can get. and "taking what you can get" only leads to drama and disaster. Trust me.
I am strongly pushing this issue. SET YOUR STANDARDS HIGH IN THE BEGINNING. Refuse to settle for less. Always want whats best for yourself. you deserve it. Evaluate the other person and evaluate your life...now compare the two. Are they a good make-up? Do they clash? Are they out of this world? Think about it, time is a terrible thing to waste. Please dont waste time by settling for less. Simply raise your bar.
