Is it wrong to think this?

[Glaciatedhands]

So I have this one "friend" to whom gets on my nerves which their comments in regards with "beauty" and body image and stuff.
She complains at how people expect them to have this perfectly formed body with no blemishes or problems and how people are not settling for less and in the next swoop, saying how they would never seek a relationship with someone unless they're tall, slim, perfectly carved body, etc.

Now, what I'm not complaining about is our natural desire to mate with something that'll likely produce children that'll live on or generally the idea of what is or isn't attractive, but more this idea that the world shouldn't expect anything from me but I should expect everything from the world.

I think I'm really mincing words at the moment so I'll cut short here:
Is it wrong to feel that people who pushes aside due to high expectations shouldn't hold high expectations on others?

No, I would not say it's wrong to feel irate at someones double standards.

I... uh... I really don't mean to be rude here, but I'm just having a hard time processing your post.

I think you're complaining about somebody who believes that, were she to get into a relationship, her partner should expect nothing of her but she expects them to be "perfect". Is that correct?

If so, then no, I don't believe it's wrong to be annoyed at this person's attitude.

So you're annoyed at your friend who complains about people having high standards, yet she has high standards herself.
Did I get that right?

In that case, Nah. There's nothing wrong about being annoyed about double standards like that.

You have every right in the world to be annoyed, someday she'll have to wake up and face that reality until then you will just have to cope

I jokingly made a Facebook post the other day, "its easy to be arrogant when you're better than everybody else".

To be a perfectly formed human is impossible, even your face isn't symmetrical! If it's a girl making these statements, ask her how much bigger her left boob is (its usually the left).

To expect more from others than you do from yourself, especially when it's impossible to change it, is just unreasonable.

I'd be very amused if it was truly said with zero irony.

It's hypocritical but I don't know how "wrong" it is. It's probably not helpful...

I'm not clear on what it is you're asking. I hate to pick apart your post, but I can't make out what you're trying to say. So again, what exactly are you asking me?

 

[Robot Number V]

I...really hope English isn't your first language. If that's the case, you might want to give people a heads-up next time.

All I got from that post is that your friend thinks people are only interested in a relationship if the other person has a perfect body. This is obviously untrue and you should slap the shit out of your friend for saying something so stupid. OBVIOUSLY there are tons and tons of people who don't have perfect bodies that are in relationships. I definitely should NOT have to explain this.

I can't really comment on anything else, as I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to ask.

I agree that sentence structure isnt that great, but i can understand that, you should see me 5 years ago, even i dont understand what i wrote.

Its ok to dislike people holding double standards, but its understandable why they do it. Every person is egoistic, and as such, he thinks he is better than another. result is, he seeks only the best partner that "Deserves him/her" but also think that the partner should just accept him/her as it is because obviously she/he is that good.

 

[Abomination]

I think it is wrong.

I think it's wrong you haven't slapped some sense into them. Every time they say something stupid give them the palm of your hand.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I'm not clear on what it is you're asking. I hate to pick apart your post, but I can't make out what you're trying to say. So again, what exactly are you asking me?

could this help?

Is it wrong to feel that people who were pushed aside due to high expectations, shouldn't hold high expectations on others themselves?

Yes, that's much clearer. As for the answer, well it does seem a tad hypocritical, but it's human nature to have expectations, but at the same time it really hurts when you get cast aside because you don't live up to someone else's expectations.

It wouldn't be wrong. If she thinks that people should have no standards when considering her appearance, and has standards when appreciating their appearance, she's a hypocrite. An annoying one who's almost certainly sabotaging themselves, which sounds no end of amusing (I have a cruel sense of humour).

Sad truth is, people judge each other on their appearance. And to be fair, it does make sense to some extent. Why should you go for people who won't put any effort in? Why would you put in effort to look good for people who wouldn't? On the other hand, people aren't entirely in control of their appearance, so chance has a big play. Chalk that up to life sucks.

Your "friend" sounds like a hypocrite.
Even if she wasn't though, you can think anything about anyone without it being right or wrong. No Thought Police out there.
