I think it's a two way street. A man who wants a "higher quality" person
is going to assert themselves to reach whatever is necessary to be on
that person's level (if they're not already).
But at the same time, a woman who sets no standards gets exactly the image she put out - nothing.
You
can't "force" a man to do what you want them to, but as a woman if you
project an image of "this is what I'm about and I don't settle for
less", you're going to get the man who's willing to put in the effort to
show that he's not just projecting that image of quality - but IS
quality.
I've seen with some of my guy friends that they do
whatever they can get away with if the woman doesn't have the good sense
to show that she doesn't want to take their crap. Whereas, some of my
guy friends have female friends who will never give them the time of day
(in a romantic sense) because they don't see anything that impresses
them.

Unless manipulation, coercion or force is involved, your behaviors are your own. If she is the reason he changed, she'll be the reason he goes back to being a fck up.

No, it is up to a man's parents to raise him, not his wife.

It's not true for me in a sense of it depends on what I'm looking for.. If you're looking for a chic to actually take serious she has to be as mature as you. If not you'll find yourself getting into fights you dont' understand.. If I'm just looking for something to smash for awhile she could be as ignorant as she wants thats her buisness

True but my mom taught me nothing about women.. If I used her as an example I'd be worried that any little thing could send her sprialing into a craziness bitchin scenario.. And my sperm donor wasn't around so....

IA although I also do believe plenty of people set their standards high fpr what they want in a partner yet don't live up to those same standards themselves. To me it doesn't make sense for me for some people to feel like they are deserving of someone who treats them like a queen/king when they treat that person like a peasant.

Very true I've ran into the princess syndrome people.. I use to always hear if he can't treat me as good as my daddy can treat me then I'm gone.. But I always thought what are you bringing to the table that makes someone want to treat you that way..
