EP11: Your Dating Problem Isn’t Men, It’s Low Standards
Wed Feb 04 2026
If dating feels frustrating, exhausting, or disappointing, this episode is your reality check.
In this conversation, we unpack why the issue is not men, bad luck, or timing. It is low standards disguised as patience, empathy, or potential. We talk about energetic minimums and maximums, how over-giving creates imbalance, and why settling feels familiar but never fulfilling.
This episode is for the woman who has done the inner work, knows she wants more, and is ready to stop negotiating with herself in dating and in life.
You will learn:
The difference between standards and expectations
Why low minimums attract inconsistent partners
How energetic maximums protect your time and self-respect
What it actually means to choose better without becoming bitter
This is not about becoming rigid or closed off. It is about becoming clear, grounded, and intentional.
If this resonates, share it with a woman who needs this reminder and follow The WAG Diaries for weekly conversations on growth, confidence, and becoming her.
