[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on OP's definition of settling, I think it's fine to "settle" as long as the guy treats you well, is a functional adult, and you would like to co-parent with him.

I actually think if you married a man based on fatherhood potential and being a decent human, you will wind up attracted to him even if you are not initially that attracted. As you get older, those qualities are much, much more attractive than physical attributes. Plus most men who are attractive when they are young will start to look less attractive. Respect, kindness, and being a loving, involved father and partner are forever. Also if they are a decent person and good dad, then even if the marriage doesn't work out, you'll be okay co-parenting with them.

I would not advise settling for a man who is unkind, selfish, treats you poorly, etc. Especially not to have kids![/quote]

I'm an older woman and the qualities you mention are just the minimum standards. I need to be sexually attracted to a man for things to work. Sure, people become older and not as aestheticly pleasant, but they still can have sex appeal or other non-physical qualities that keep me interested.[/quote]
