[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or is it better to be childless than partner up with someone you don't want?

By "settling" I don't mean "dating someone imperfect or bad on paper", I'm talking about getting with someone you're not that attracted to.[/quote]

Better for whom?  Definitely not better for the guy that you are "settling" with -- no one deserves being deceived into a partnership with someone who isn't actually attracted and in love with them -- unless you are going to tell him this up front?  In that case it's a different matter.

But, if you're not going to tell him, are you justifying your manipulation of another human by thinking that the person you're "settling" for is getting someone better than they would otherwise?  Is that the tradeoff you are foisting on your future partner without his knowledge and consent -- "you get to be married to fabulous me, and I think that's a good deal even though I'm not attracted to you."  Or do you imagine you'll be so great at acting attracted that they'll never figure it out?

Can you hear how sociopathic and manipulative that is?
