"Women's standards are too high"

You don't need to be a millionaire to get a woman's attention. You don't need to be an Adonis in order to sexually attract her either, and you definitely don't need a past like Indiana Jones' for her to respect you. As a man, the dating and sexual marketplace is all about overcoming failure. You do that best when honesty, consistency, and acceptance become your best friends. Women are always going to prefer a specific mold of man, but that doesn't mean it's best to exist to punish them for it. You can either improve yourself or walk away, but understand the benefits and costs that come from walking down either path, and resist the urge to become spiteful to women because of your decision.
