Is there any nice way to suggest to someone that they "lower their standards"? Perhaps that phrase is supposed to BE the politically-correct way to go about it, but isn't it pretty obvious that what you really mean is... "Doesn't the fact that you're constantly getting rejected subtly hint at the fact that your opinion of yourself may not be universally agreed upon by the opposite sex, and that if you don't want to die alone, you better recognize what league you're in and learn to love a pugly?"
