In a recent study, conducted on 242 college students (108 men; 134 women), Jonason and his colleagues looked at this issue. In addition to completing a battery of personality tests, participants were presented with a number of criteria (social level, creativity, kindness, liveliness, and physical attractiveness) and were required to choose (for both a long and short-term mate) their minimum accepted decile (10th percentile, 20th percentile, etc.) for each trait.
While both sexes had equally high overall standards for long-term mates, men had slightly lower standards than women for short-term mates. Most pertinent to their study, however, men who were high on the Dark Triad had even lower standards than men who scored low on the Dark Triad. Here's a graph of their results:

I thought the study was interesting, does this match with what you see in real life? Do men with dark triad traits have lower standards for women then other men?
