I’m not difficult, I just have high standards. (No one ever qualifies.)

The Standard Bearer of Solitude

Gold-Plated Expectations with a Velvet Rope

“I’m not difficult, I just have high standards,” they say, while rejecting anyone under 6’3″, without a yacht, or who doesn’t know the difference between “there,” “their,” and “emotional availability.”

Funny Evidence from the Picky Elite

One person ended a date because the fork “felt judgmental.” Another dismissed a soulmate for wearing cargo shorts unironically.

Quote from a Romantic Gatekeeper

“I’m not asking for much,” said Stella NoCompromise. “Just someone who’s funny, deep, rich, kind, mysterious, responsive, aloof, and looks like a Hemsworth.”

Satirical Snapshot

They want someone spontaneous but also punctual, sensitive but rugged, and ready for commitment by the third appetizer.

Conclusion: Standards Are Healthy–Until They’re a Fortress

If no one is ever good enough, maybe the problem isn’t height, it’s perspective.
