I dated few self absorbed men. They had no problem finding women. No one stuck around long enough to commit, including yours truly, but they still had no problem finding women to date
Thank you for taking the time to answer me. Your interpretation isn't what I meant, but it's a good interpretation and I think quite correct for the situation. I actually meant if one had higher expectations, the other person would either live up to them or leave (if the person knew that meeting those higher expectations were part of continuation of the relationship. Sort of a game of relationship Chicken.)
