I think this generation of young adults have too high expectations men and women and they are both going to find themselves alone.

The --too high-- expectations are all on the women's side.  The most recent study...

"There's a survey in the book where men and women are asked, "If you got 80 percent of everything you wanted -- of your ideal traits in a mate or partner -- would you be happy?"

The majority of women said, "No, that's settling," and the majority of men said, "Eighty percent? I'd be thrilled; that's a catch.""

This study obviously polls secular people, so the results will not be similar to Trads, but the secular world still affects Trads, so the results are interesting.  Feminism/materialism is the main problem here, which affects even Trads.

I have high standards too.

They are: Virgin,
Not malnourished,
Two parent household.
Optional: as beautiful as me, has siblings.

Women will say that, but if a man steps up impresses her and connects with her she will lower her standards.  Men I don't think lower their standards as easily.   

Stop looking at studies on women because woman emotionally change themselves all the time.

I agree!

There is already another like this from a while back. A few guys posted but I don't know if they had any success, probably not. The thread died pretty quickly.
