Let's say you are getting old, still single, not many options going for you. Would you just lower your standards and just settle for someone? Or would you rather wait it out... knowing options will only grow less every year?

I have never been desperate because I was either too scared of relationships in my youth, or so religious that men meant nothing to me when I got older. I know somebody that was not religious who paid a humongous cost to attract dates, working a lot harder then me, to build their career and their body and their social attractiveness, me, I was religious and I never made dating a need or necessary value in my life. I did work hard, but not at attracting men, since I never cared whether or not I found a boyfriend.
I don't believe that last part since it was definitely on your mind a lot over the past years. But you always had the idea that if you follow on your religion god would hand him to you. Do you believe that worked in the end or was it you that found him through other means?
@sawno I wanted a boyfriend but I did not need a boyfriend, just like you want vanilla cake but you can survive on other foods. But my boyfriend is somebody I met in a bible debate event 19 years ago.
I personally have never felt as though I needed a man so badly that I should settle.
Been tempted to but didn't go for it. Wouldn't be fair to her because I believe I will find better and then the moment I did i'd have left her. I would have enjoyed the sex aspect but I would have been pretty bored in that scenario since she never had initiative for anything.
No. I haven't even dated and that is by choice. I have far too many other things going on in life to worry about that whole process. I just want to focus on myself as I go through school.
That is what is currently important to me.
Yeah at about 25 a realized i wasn't going to do any better than a woman who wanted to marry me 5 years earlier. So i circled back and married her. But i wouldn't call it settling now. The woman you think you're settling for turns out to be the gem you didn't see
No. That isn't a possibility for me. I encountered one girl who set a bar, but I bungled the situation. I have to find someone I like as much or more. I'd like to raise a family, but I've accepted I could end up alone.
waiting it out is generally better than committing to the wrong person just to escape being single. A rushed partnership can breed resentment and leave you in a much unhappier position than being single ever would.
No. I won’t settle. I’d rather be single for the rest of my life than settle. I don’t see the point of being with someone that I don’t really want to be with.
This may sound weird but.. no! If a girl did not want to go out with me or start a relationship I let it go. Sure I had to deal with just solo sex for a while but life goes on. HBU?
Relationships are about compromises but I will not lower my standards just to be in one.
She has to be good looking if not, I’m not gonna be attracted to her. She has to be a good person as well. If not, I will wait. What choice do I have?
Wow, you’re all over the place the same girl that gave me trouble yesterday about the age gaps that’s not true at all what you’re saying goodbye
Are you in a position right now that u feel like u are settling? What are the boxes your ideal woman / man needs to tick
I cannot accept someone who doesn't fit with me...
remain single is better than trap with random.
Nope
Never
