Are women or men more likely to "lower their expectations" as they get older?

[StormRider]

Well? Which one do you think is more likely to lower their expectations? Or is the probability equally likely in both sexes?

 

[KarenMarie]

I dont know if i lowered my expectations as I have aged... but I do know that I have drew a different line in what I would and would not tolerate.

Lowered in some respects, raised in others. Happens with both sexes.

Both sexes should, and do. When you're 30 and no marriagein sight it's time to start getting realistic. If you're 40 and no marriage it's time to start abandoning hope. If you're smart, along the way, your standards will get lower and lower (if you want to get married, that is).
