it really depends on the woman, but you definitely can tell if they accept a guy or something less than their expectations.
I don't think women will tell you directly they've settled, and I think most people communicate this way, in an indirect way, but they will say 'my guy won't stick up for me when it counts' or 'he disregards on things that are important to them (ex: my shoe collection or not calling me back when her guy said he'd call back or something').
I think (and I may get major backlash for saying this but.) that most people do settle for less, whether they are guy or girl. I won't .stick as close to people I know when they 'accidentially' goose me, inappropriate talk to me, make fun of me and etc. Most of the time people make mistakes, but when you notice that the things they do is part of their character and they won't adjust for you.it doesn't show they really care what you think nor bother to see the importance of what is important to you, what is really important to you, even it may be something small. And if you see someone put up with someone who doesn't care what is important to that person.then you know for sure they have settled for less.
ex: my coworker.yes.he 'accidentally' goosed me and would time to time talk inappropriately around or to me.but he nonetheless adjusted for me.and quickly too! and he kept adjusting for me.I don't know many people in my life who would do that for me.specially when it is someone I barely know. I would have remained in contact and be friends with him.but he.i guess wasn't interested enough or willing to do that with me.so you move on.
Wow!! Thanks everybody!! That was totally unexpected! Something that really put it concrete that make me realize that guys do settle as well, is this one TV where the players have to tell the truth no matter what to whatever personal question is throw at them, otherwise, they lost the game. One guy was on there and more or less, the question revealed that he married a girl that he knew she wasn't the one for him. he was handsome, made good money, def intellegent, but still!!! he settled! - 3 months ago

And I'm thinking - why?? why would you do that to yourself??!! dude, you gave up trying! bad on you - you need to take your bad self and find someone who cares about you for you - and not for your money and good looks! otherwise you're just going to drive yourself nutty with all these people surrounding you who don't give 2 you know what about you. - 3 months ago
I think women settle more than guys. I cannot pin point a particulal reason why but I guess it comes down to things like the biological clock - she wants kids and mr. right is taking too long to show up etc.
Yes. I think so. In the beginning they have high standards. But those high standards are a lot sometimes.When they "lower " their standards. Its because they start to see that they are asking for a little much and NOBODY is PERFECT!
So what is the first think that drops off the high standards list? hair? muscles? humor? lol - 4 months ago

I think the first that drops off is probably physical features.. for instance you like guys with blue eyes.. but.. its not the most important thing..For me personality is very important then comes looks and stuff..i can't be with a HOT guy that has no personality. Looks draw a person to you but what keeps you attracted is the personality..
to answer ur question, hair would probably be first to be off the list. I think its very important for a person to be physically fit. - 4 months ago
Oh! Except when it comes to cars. Haha. Then I think it's equal. Cus my best friend always says he settled for red car and that blue car (which he just got this year) was his dream car. Poor red!!! :-( haha - 4 months ago
No, but I have met couples that are married and in those relationships some of the men all ready want children and the women do not. - 4 months ago

But they are already married; proves my point. Some women do not even want children and view their biological clock ticking as making sure they get married by a certain age, or just making a career change etc. It could be so many different things. Biological clock doesn't always have to = children for women. But they do however, settle when they reach a certain point.. - 4 months ago
i don't think men are willing to put up with as much than women. Women will put up with crying babies, carry a child for 9 months, take care of the house, a business - all at the same time. I just don't see men would stick around for that, at least for most. So I think women are more likely to settle, because they are willing to put up more. They will put up with abuse from their husbands or boyfriends, and well, I could make other examples, but I'm not sure for men in general.
