A woman named Heather was on the Steve Harvey talk show, and had trouble getting a date. The reason was because she had waaaaay too many requirements. It's good to have standards and requirements, but this was over the top.

It is a little over the top...and that's why it's on the Steve Harvey show. He loves mansplaining. Every scrote adores telling women their standards are too high.
Oh, n this love expert who understands women so well is on his 3rd marriage 🙄
the only weird requirement she has is "can't be stronger than me" because men by default are stronger unless they're a child. otherwise, not gonna standard shame because everything else makes sense.
I think this is the media conditioning us. Notice how many of her requirements are perfectly reasonable (must be kind, financially stable, non-smoker). But they (and I do mean "they", not "she"- because this is TV and I believe nearly all TV is scripted) has lumped them in with some unreasonable requirements (must NEVER wear sweatpants). This way, if women have ANY standards at all, scrotes and pickmes can say, "OMG you're just like this woman I saw on TV! Your standards are UNREASONABLE!"
Honestly, every standard made sense to me barring a couple of them.
Those are all mostly unspoken basics snd personal preferences. We don't add most of those in our list of standards because se expect decent adults to know them. And she even had a valid explanations/stories.
Women get shit on for having the barest minimum of standards. If you’re gonna be criticized for having any standards at all, you might as well ask for everything you want.
This is lowkey male propaganda. They are showing an "unreasonable screeching harpy" sterotype. Op no hate 2 you, just my 2 cents
Most of those are fairly standard requirements for any human in a relationship. Some of them are silly, but she’s not asking for anything over the top, except for “can’t be stronger than me”
When I started dating after my divorce, my mento had me write a list of romantic ideals in categories of physical, financial, spiritual, emotional. Each category had at least 10 non negotiables. Oh, and before I wrote what I want, I wrote what I bring to the table or what I should be bringing to the table before I wrote my desires. And, not until I felt I had what it takes to be a healthy partner, did I start dating. I got everything on my list.
