The four types
The four dating standards types
None of them is wrong. Each one has a strength, and one thing worth watching.
The Realist
High standards where it counts, flexible everywhere else. You know your few real must-haves, like kindness and effort, and you are relaxed about the rest.
The Romantic
You are holding out for the feeling. Chemistry is your north star, so watch you do not skip the slow burners.
The Checklist
You know exactly what you want, maybe a bit too exactly. Clear standards save time, but a long list can filter out people who would make you happy.
The Open Book
Easygoing and curious, and great company. Just make sure being flexible never turns into settling.
FAQ
Dating standards questions
What is a dating standards test?
A short quiz about how you choose who to date: how much things like height, income, reply times and chemistry matter to you. It sorts your answers into a type, so you can see whether your standards help you or hold you back.
Are my dating standards too high?
Standards are too high when they rule out people who would make you happy, usually because of things that do not show much about a partner, like an exact height or job title. Standards about how someone treats you are never too high.
Is this the same as a dating standards calculator?
No. A dating standards calculator estimates what share of people meet a list of filters like age, height and income. This test is about your attitude to dating rather than numbers.
Is the test scientific?
No, it is a fun quiz meant to start a conversation, not a psychological assessment. Take the result with a smile.
Are my answers saved?
No. The test runs in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere, and you do not need an account.
