The comment about my standards -- is that a 'tall' joke? Hmmm?

Voted : your standard is too high
can't speak much about Dating,
but I've found lowering my standards has helped dealing with everything and most everyone :)

Ok, big mouth “forgetmenot” me is at it again. This is what I think. In today’s society, very often, women are rewarded with admiration relevant to how cute, sweet, and self-deprecating they act—not grown up human behavior, but considered “de rigueur” for females. Your professionalism does not tolerate this kind of behavior so you don't attract a lot of men. However, your professionalism makes a great “strainer”, catching and casting away the greater number of men who are not interested in the real person. Don’t fret. There is a man made just for you, who is ready to pass through the openings in that wonderful strainer, and who will value your unencumbered personhood minus the artificiality and buttons and bows that is unfortunately coming to be known as “femininity”. You sound very real to me. Don’t compromise that by acting girlish to get a guy. It’s not worth it, and it won’t attract the kind of man who will treat you like a person.

You need to maintain your standards -- both for personal and professional reasons. For better or worse, in the business world, we are also judged by the Significant Others we have.
I don't think lowering standards should be considered an approach. By lowering standards, we are indirectly accepting mediocrity from yourself and others.
You need some complexity in your life, something to lift you out of the daily routine and experience life in three dimensions. Get involved in something besides work. Take up marijuana. Shake things up a bit.
