OH - and to chime in on the argument above...

...to some extent, EVERYONE in a relationship "settles".

The simple fact is that NO ONE IS PERFECT. We all have our quirks and issues and problems.

You find someone whom you feel attracted to, whom you develop a bond with, and who brings out the best in you, and you stick with that person.

Neither you nor your partner are perfect, and there WILL be things that you may not like but will have to deal with. That, in a sense, is "settling". Maybe he/she isn't as tall or as neat or as thin or as curvy or as educated (etc.,) as you would like...but everything else, the CONNECTION, is so good that you compromise and work with it.

When you hook up with someone that is WRONG for you just because you feel there is no alternative - THAT is when "settling" is bad/dangerous.

Im getting the feeling this is a booty call thread.....:fuckyou:
