[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't have to settle but it's better to rethink your criteria. Assuming there are multiple options at play or you're in a relationship you may not think is the one, you really need to prioritize the type of person who would be a good parent vs the hot guy who may not be that into you. I actually was in this situation in my mid 30s and broke it off with the hot noncommital guy and stuck with the nice guy who on our first date said "I know I'm not supposed to do this but I want you to know I really like you." We've been married 18 yrs and have 2 teenagers. The hot guy decided he loved me after I broke it off for the nice guy, but sorry, it was too late. I actually ran into him 2 yrs later at a grocery store with my infant son and he said "aww - I see you got what you really wanted" and gave me a hug. I never saw him again but know that he never married. He's a good person but was not on the path I wanted...and I know I made the right choice.[/quote]

Why do people seem to assume that every woman in OP's place is trying to choose between the hot non-commital guy and the average nice guy that wants commitment? What about hot commital men, what about average non-commital guys? What about average commital guys that are attractive to the woman in question?

It took me a while to find a partner. I didn't care if the guy didn't look like young Brad Pitt, but there was no way in hell I would commit to someone I personally didn't find attractive just because he wanted me. [/quote]
