Guys, be honest : how many of you have settled in a relationship?

How many of you have gotten into a relationship with a girl who is a far cry from who you would like to be with.

Yes I have settled for a girl I don't find that attractive. 7
No! I only go out with girls I am really attracted to. 12
My friend pushed me into the relationship with a girl. 2
I have settled for brains and personality over beauty. 13

    Why would anyone do that? Being single is a great state to develop new skills, learn things or just make more money. I find any type of relationship a massive compromise in my lifestyle. So if I'm already willing to sacrifice something for this, my partner better be worth it.

      We do because we have to; women make the rules, most of them tell us no, so what is left is generally way not our first or even third choice.

      That's why.

    You left out settling for a girl that's beautiful with no brains. That is what is really settling in my opinion.

    i wouldent call it "settling" but i would rather be with a girl whos "plain" but really intelligent and has a personality similar to mine over a hot chick who doesnt. i found out as i got older that many of the women i tried to ask out had almost nothing in common with me (even though i was friends with most of them) i also find that girls who are "my type" are also a lot harder to come by than those who are out of my league. i still go for those closer to me cause i know i will be happier with someone i share a lot in common with

    @Brandon17 Well its true isn't it? To different degrees. In every relationship one person settles, another reaches. But then it can change and switch.

    I have heard in each relationship one person settles, and the other person reaches (out of their league). Both to to varying degrees.

              Hey noopiepoe,

              I think you should provide sandwiches and beautiful dinner with this conversation.

              It's not trolling if you bring nice food for all of us :)

              It'll be more like banter with a nice sandwich and a cup of tea.

  • @Ne'er-do-well Of course we settle. There is always someone that was our 1st choice that didn't like us back.

    And @mightymouse I agree with you. Usually the beautiful without brain lover begins to look quite unattractive after awhile., But when I said attractive I meant the whole package: beauty, brains and how comfortable I am around them.
