You were always told that it’s important to have standards in life: to aim high, to keep shooting for a new and loftier goal. However, we tend to forget this in the face of seemingly overwhelming obstacles, like when the pool of quality females runs dry and you’re suddenly contemplating a step backward. It isn’t a “step backward” in your increasingly desperate mind, because to avoid that lonely sensation creeping up your spine, you begin to justify and rationalize. It happens to every man at one time or another. “She’s prettier when she’s in a certain light.” “She’s not that stupid; she just has unique insights.” “It’d be tough for a supermodel to look great in such a bad dress.” Sometimes, you simply make the argument that less-than-favorable company is better than none at all; unfortunately, this can lead to a downward spiral. Pretty soon, you’re sleeping with anything that breathes and stands erect.
Your reputation is at stake
Building and maintaining a good reputation is one of the prime concerns for the Player, and anything that can have a detrimental effect on it can easily hinder his future actions and plans. If you start slipping and you begin entertaining a certain “standard” that isn’t up to your standards, word will get around. The ladies can try to convince everyone that they never notice whom a guy dates -- but we all know it matters, which is why your high standards must remain intact. Sacrificing your requirements for the sake of a roll in the hay is something desperate, lonely men do, and if you find yourself in that position, you can hardly consider yourself a pickup artist. It’s all about keeping up appearances. As a side benefit, you will also keep your essential Player skills finely honed -- it’s always more difficult to land a woman of quality, right?
It’s good for your self-esteem
OK, so you just had sex. But you settled. You didn’t really have your pick of the crowd that night and in the end, it feels more like a disappointment than a success. Scoring with the hottest, most sought-after Player-loving women gives you a self-esteem and ego boost that can quite literally last for weeks, and directly feeds your motivation and desire to adhere to the highest of standards. When you’re stuck with your “plan D” on a continual basis, something is off. Besides, you begin to think you don’t need the better-quality woman. You start to entertain the damaging theory that says, “If I don’t get her, I can always nail the drunk, slightly overweight one over there.” It will eventually stunt your ability to conquer the best of the best and, one day, you’ll turn around and realize that your level of fulfillment has fallen drastically. This is why the importance of high standards matters. Don’t let this happen to you.
It raises your status
You are a high-class individual, and while any good ladies’ man prides himself on adaptation, on easily and fluidly relating to all women, certain girls are simply more suited to your lifestyle. They may have higher expectations (say, a Broadway show and an elegant dinner over a chain restaurant and window shopping), but at the same time, they will appreciate the finer things in life, which means their esteem for you reflects back in your favor. Furthermore, the more you associate with a higher caliber woman, the more you will become involved with that circle of society and the more you will be forced to adapt (i.e. act the part). Such a strategic maneuver shows forward thinking: You are setting yourself up for more contacts of a similar style and personality, and with little in the way of extra effort. This should help you reconnect with your high standards.
High-standard women have better sex
This one is going to ruffle a few feathers but, all potential offense aside, the bottom line is that women who relate to the Player are women who are well-educated in the intimate arts. I hesitate to use certain descriptive words, but we should remember that although some people are born with a particular skill set, great sex comes with experience. It’s an ability that benefits from practice. Women who don’t often “practice” just aren’t as good in the sack, nor are they acquainted with all the smaller, subtler aspects of flirting and foreplay. On the flip side, the less attractive chicks tend to try harder. They’re not as confident as the ones with great bodies, though, so it’s a trade-off; perhaps it’s best to sample both sides of the railroad tracks to better understand the importance of high standards.
High-standard women make for better sex memories
You worked hard to approach the 10 in the club and even your closest friends, who have the utmost confidence in your abilities, doubted it could be done. But you’ve managed to nail down the score of scores and this is an accomplishment that will stick with you. It will be the subject of many future stories; it will impress many for years to come; it will continually remind you of your skills as a talented pickup artist. Even if the sex isn’t exactly as mind-blowing as anticipated (expectations are often sky-high in such situations, anyway), the memory will prove priceless. The passionate feelings may fade rather quickly but we never forget our most essential Player conquests, which is part of the reason we should reach for the stars. Let those standards fall, and all you’ll have in your head is a series of forgetful, perhaps even regretful, sexual experiences.
High-standard women lead to more high-standard women
The vicious circle of letting your standards slip is obvious, but there’s a flip side to that coin: The more high-standard ladies you land, the more you will find in the immediate vicinity. Women really do see who you date and they figure, “If he can get her attention, he has to have something going for him.” Creating a reputation and upping your cred as a high-class Player is extremely beneficial, and this works into the self-esteem reason as well. The better you continue to perform, the more your confidence rises and, subsequently, the more likely you will be to pursue the “untouchables.” Just remember to be patient, as entry into the exclusive universe of the most amazing women alive can take time and practice. Don’t be discouraged. Whatever you do, don’t drop your high standards simply because it’s the easy way out; the eventual results will be less than enviable.
THE IMPORTANCE OF HIGH STANDARDS
Standards are important in all phases of life and this definitely applies to the dating world. Men will always recall the seemingly impossible scores, everyone around them will drink in their best accomplishments (or lack thereof) and above all else, you will feel totally satisfied and fulfilled. It’s tough to be proud of something that takes little effort and something that few would even care about.
