All I ever wanted was the world
"Rising standards" is vague though
Probably half and half
Some are men who won't do the bare minimum
Some are women who have very high standards that many men can't achieve realistically
It's a mixture of both
This. Whenever I see stuff like this, I think about that thread that was made asking the men here what they bring to the table they literally said “my word”

All these years men we’re trying to scare women “you’ll be alone” “you’ll die alone if you don’t lower your standards” but they were really thinking “I’m gonna die alone if you don’t settle for me”.
There are a lot of women with unrealistic standards though, like I work with a 42 year old CNA single mother of 4 (youngest is 3) she doesn’t want a man with more than one baby mama or kids younger than 10. I’m like girl at this point take what you can get
