Unrealistically high? Maybe in the looks department but not anywhere else. Almost every mainstream anime female character has the personality of a paper bag.
Take Sakura from Naruto. She was completely useless until Shippuden and spent all the episodes screaming "Sassukkeeee!!" Every 5 seconds. Misa Misa from Death Note - a right pain in the ass with a weird obsession with the main character. Tea/Anzu from YuGiOh, USELESS character who was literally only there to be an on/off love interest. That's it. She did nothing to serve the plot whatsoever.
i think the OP means Physically, and your talking about lame female anime roles. there are plenty of good female characters with depth to them.
But there are always this vapid, pretty to look at but no personality characters of both genders so people can envision themself in that role.
Look at the dumb Twilight books, the "bella" character is basically a hollow shell so girls can pretend that vampire and werewolf male models are fighting over them and swoon.
True but they're pretty rare at least in Shonen anime. Only ones I can think of is maybe Nami or Robin from One Piece. They were decent.
Yeah, that's probably the reason for it. An example of a male one could be the main character in School Days. He was pretty much personality-less, though most girls seemed to be as well (uh, until the ending that is).
IIN that anime has given me unrealistically high expectation for women

To be fair, all the females you mentioned are teenagers.
I'm not the OP, by the way.
