[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious that the advice is always “don’t settle.” That makes it sound like there are always better options. That’s not necessarily the case[/quote]

Of course. I know people who “didn’t settle” who are still single in their 40s. The advice really should be “don’t settle on your core values”. Women’s who have certain aesthetic requirements tend to be disappointed. Men in our culture aren’t socialized to attend to their looks the way women are. In addition, the average woman is more attractive than the average man. Most heterosexual women will statistically be dating down in the looks department. I always dated any guy I was attracted to, even if he was a bit overweight or balding or whatever. I never dated men I was unattracted to, because that just wastes everyone’s time.

For me, the man’s character really affected how I felt about his looks, to the point where friends would comment on the disparity in private. I’m sure that part of the reason I think DH is so attractive is because I really think he’s a great guy.[/quote]
