[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]        Recently , someone I follow on Instagram went on tangent about how so many of our friends are 'settling for less'. The clear implication here is that, the people she's referring to, could do better but choose not to. However, this person's current boyfriend is not attractive at all- He's in his thirties, chubby with a beer belly, albeit not a pronounced one. And appears to not be making a high income either. He works as a digital content/marketing director for some small business. For those who aren't familiar, digital marketing manager or social media manager are typically jobs that millennial  women waiting for rich husbands perform or, as some of you like to say women with [i] Mrs. Degrees.

So, how does someone who's dating a demonstrably unambitious man get to tell others that they're settling? Even if you take into account the fact that, he may be faithful to her and treats her well, does this kind of person get to tell anyone that they're settling? This has been a head-scratcher for me and I'm wondering if I'm missing something .[/quote]

Are you serious right now?

Did you consider maybe she is less concerned with his job and instead is happy because he is kind, generous, fun, smart, she enjoys his company, or whatever it might be? Maybe he has BDE? Like WTF do you even know about this guy?

I don’t even know if he is a great guy but neither do you. All you’re worried about is his job? Gross.

Go touch grass. [/quote]
