I'm not the type to settle. This does NOT mean I am unwilling to lower my standards. However, it does mean I won't be with someone I'm not compatible to or attracted to, such as "bisexuals," transwomen, polyamorous, mean or rude women, or abusive women.
My standards have remained the same and aren't that hard to find in someone (or at least, used to not be): Kind, Loyal, Classy, Accepting, Open-minded, Intelligent, Good sense of Humor, Not Lazy, Not easily offended, Respectful, Politically Moderate, and Strictly Heterosexual and Monogamous.
And I bring all of these same qualities back in a partner, by the way. However, my Achilles Heel is my flawed physical appearance and unacceptable stature. One could also argue ego as well, which is something most women want in a man, but I can't stand "confidence" in others and I don't want that for myself, either. I'm more humble and don't want to become an egotistical douchebag.
So because I lack the looks, stature, wealth, and ego that modern women require and demand in men, I will not be finding a compatible partner anytime... Ever. I doubt these women even exist (in regards to be compatible specifically to *me*). I don't want to end up alone, but I don't want to end up with someone who's abusive, a cheater, or a lesbian either. So that's just the bad luck of the draw.
Dating someone for the wrong reasons is worse than living alone.
I once accepted a girl as a friend from online dating site, hanged out with her and saw movies with her. The entire friendship on my behalf was nit having the balls to say no before it started. I just felt sorry fir her.
This girl said she and her friends access to a nightclub was denyed but the guards for being too ugly, making it bad for business to let them in. Most girls on her level of popularity have more heart and gratitude than most popular girls.
One day she shared a text card on facebook that said: "Hurt me with the truth, but don't you dare confront me with a lie" The next day I unfriended her on facebook and never saw or heard of het again.
Never! I've been single this long (over 10 years). I'm at the point in my life where if I don't find a partner, I'm okay with it!
Seriously, being single is NOT a punishment, the end of the world, or a reason to settle just for the sake of not being alone. If anything that would just make me MORE miserable being with someone out of convenience more than love.
I'm going to get some dogs to keep me company, and enjoy a quiet, happy life doing what I want, when I want... you know, like how I live now? It feels great and I'm quite content 😊
I know I can find a guy but not sure I can have the marriage of my dreams. I am considering disabled guys cause I want an innocent and pure person whose attractive but has very little experience with woman. A powerful guy is worthless to me if he is a jerk.

Everyone settles. Name the number of couples that are 💯 what each was looking for sexually, religiously, emotionally, physically, financially, politically, philosophically, everything they wanted
That's right, impossible! Any partner you have you are settling with. People, you are human, you are not perfect, don't expect perfect, drop the pride a few notches... now glhf and find someone who can and will love you, be loyal, and treat you right. That is all...
I have never dated anyone for fun, it has always been with the purpose of settling down and having a life together, if I don't find the right person I'll stay alone, I strongly believe you really only give yourself once and what happens from there happens but you trust it will work out for the best because you gave your all in the hope your chose right
I can see myself just living out my days with a best friend, in fact, it’s about the only passion I have that doesn’t die at some point - the enthusiasm I feel for my long term friends.
It would not have to, no.
I prefer to single forever than be with the wrong women. Seriously when I see and remember back then I feel it was like a nightmare my goodness I was kind and didn't know women brings war tactical into relationship war tactics in random damn relationship !!! I was lucky to run and disappear from her I met her accidentally she looked like shit and did smile I felt disgusting I left
I think in any case it is better to remain alone than to settle. I’d be miserable if I just settled for anyone.
I like to find a girl and settle down when the timing is right
The fake feminism thing has really made things worse for guys. Finding a good girl is really really difficult.
Everyone settles, the dream partner does not exist.
Is one person a sweetheart but not that confident or exciting? Well the guy or girl who is confident and exciting probably is not a sweetheart and is less likely to be loyal, etc.
I would rather be alone than be with the wrong person.
I think it sounds sadder to compromise who you spend the rest of your life with than being alone.
I do want to experience having a romantic partner at some point, and I might have to settle for some things I would not be so happy about to try it out. But in that case I will probably end up alone in the end, I don't fear that at all.
I've seen the eyes of people who have settled. They're dead inside. I can at least handle the loneliness.
Not sure why anyone would settle for someone they don't truly want to be with
so many people do
Meant to vote on won't end up with anyone regardless
meaning you dont want to?
Right
I’ve already come to terms that I’m never going to get into another relationship and I’m ok with that.
There’s perks to not being in a relationship
If I can't find what I'm looking for I would rather be alone. I know what kind of girl would make me happy and if I can't have one like that, I'll just be alone.
Same here.
I'd stay alone. The question "what if I never find the right person?" always scares me, but I'd rather be alone than being with the wrong one.
I’m not black, Mexican, Asian or middle eastern that’s what most girls wants nowadays and I don’t have lots of money or drive fancy sport cars. That’s why I’m un dateable and single. Also I don’t have a big package either.

Actually all of the above! My last relationship grew from not getting along into hating each other. Mostly my fault. Anyway point being, I'd rather stay alone, regardless, and I'm settled on that.
