Standards

We all set a certain standards in our lives.

Be it, education, 

friends, 

table manners,

social manner,

or even relationships.

We set high or low standards for whatever we choose, because we somehow know how the 'system' works.

The 'system' is.. basically the society, or how people work.

We get how things are suppose to be, 

what things are accepted or not, 

what things we choose to be bad or good.

We know it so well, we actually become actors.

Ever heard a friend tell you, or vice versa, "I lie so well, I can be an actor/actress."

Well, sad to tell you this, we all 'act'. Whether we like it or not, we do.

Our subconscious is always telling us to act in a certain way, because some things aren't accepted in society, and as I just mentioned above, "We know how the system works."

When we trip over a stepping stone, we act all cool and try to not attract attention or whatsoever. We try to remain calm, when it's alright to actually just scream out loud for shock and sudden pain, but we choose to remain.. calm?

So, as I was saying, we set standards in life.

and as a guy myself, I set standards for a few stuff. 

Things that are personal to me, like..

Family, friends, love?

When I set a certain standard for a girl, whether I've known her for a long time, or I just met her, I set standards. To see whether she reaches it or not.

So, to set these standards, I test her with flirts, actions, and whatnot.

I try to make her like me, and soon enough it actually works. Then I think to myself, "What if I set higher standards? Could she reach it?"
and then, she doesn't.

So, is it wrong for me to set higher standards?

'Cause I believe that I could do better.

I know this sounds douchebag-ish, but honestly, why settle for 'less', when we can have something we really deserve.

and I know, sometimes love takes us by surprise and all, but at the end of the day, we still set certain standards for them. Admit it, we do.

I don't mean to make females, as a subject, or an object. I really don't.

I respect them for who they are and what they can do.

I'm sort of a slight feminist, but not so into the whole damn shiz, 'cause girls can sometimes really be girls. Girls, you know it. 

Back to the point, the standards we set, somehow make us fight for a better chance with a better partner. And that's when we yearn to have that challenge, we want to get knock down to get back up to fight harder and stronger again.

We want challenges, to make it more interesting and exciting, which could make the journey more memorable and fun.

Yet again, I don't mean to sound like a complete asshole, saying I 'play' girls. I don't.

'Cause girls that I really flirt with, end up playing me.

and sometimes, when I'm not trying, things happen. Unexpected things.

Somewhere deep inside of us, our desire to have the best is in there somewhere.

So, for me, setting a high standard is a good thing.
