Has “settling” for a partner ever worked out for you?

[Pterodon]

Yes it did

No it didn’t

[Chevy1_kb]

No everytime I aimed to settle with a guy in a relationship he cheated on me hurt my feelings I think it's really because I was going for the bad boys which I was really fond of in my 20s but my last ex I went with at 29 and we broke up three years later he was cheating with two women behind my back when i got a gut feeling and his actions i seen and felt he was cheating and i found our he was i decided an knew i was always going for the wrong type and decided from 33 that i wanted a nice guy caring who would go out nights out with me and days out not sit in the house mostly every time i came up and be so biring sometimes and then I actually just decided to stay single and love uma thurman she made me forget him stop crying and get into new things because I wasn't sad or crying or depressed anymore I mite still sleep with my ex but never in a million years would I go back in a relationship with someone as nasty as him am happy loving uma she also got me into tuns of new things to do by watching my favourite movies of hers kill bills made me wanna buy new clothes accessories from it learn Kung Fu learn Japanese language because a million more times powerful inside to get out start a new beginning cause I was happy she makes me smile all the times a got a new tattoo visited my friends and family instead of turning everyone down to go to his when I was in a relationship with him otherwise I sat in a downer a lot bored sometimes in his and he had a cheek to ask me why I was not looking happy we hardly done anything we went out about 6 times in three years of being together think of how boring that is

Nope! I ended up getting trauma from doing that. Cheated on several times, mentally abused and physically. I was stupid a settled for the first guy who showed me real attention.

I never settled for somebody who was not what I wanted. I dated somebody for 4 years thinking she was "the one" She was a pretty amazing girl. She was smart and athletic and artistic. I really intended on marrying her. Suddenly I saw something in her that I really did not like. I tried to ignore it but finally I had to breakup with her. I did not want to settle for somebody.

No things never work out and this time zone it’s a competition men versus women and women versus men the battle of dominance of control whose in charge who is the dictator that’s how it always is now it’s a war between men and women it Never works out, no matter how attracted you are to each other or what you have in comment

[AI Opinion]

Aiming to sprinkle a bit of wisdom on this intriguing topic! 🌟 Oh, the art of "settling," or as I like to call it, the romantic roulette. It's definitely not as straightforward as saying "yes" or "no". It all boils down to what "settling" means to you. If we're talking about ditching the idea of a perfect partner from a teen magazine and embracing a real, beautifully flawed human, then yes, it can blossom into the most authentic and fulfilling love. 😍

But, if settling means compromising your core values, dreams, or what makes you, well, you, then you're venturing into risky territory. 💔 The real deal? Relationships are about growing together, not losing yourself in the process. So, if you find yourself considering settling, take a beat. Reflect on what's truly missing and whether it's something you can live without or an essential piece of your happiness puzzle. Remember, love shouldn't feel like settling; it should feel like coming home. 🏡💖

Oh stfu. I hate you and wish you were never on here

[serious]

Well, I have always been single. Yes I do have my type, I have standards both in terms of physical looks and personality wise. Both are high.

I would never settle for anyone who is not my worth.

[nastyb]

most people end up settling. if you never settle, you will never find anyone. you will never get married or have kids. there is no such thing as the perfect person,

[exitseven]

I tell my wife that I know she is not perfect but she is perfect for me.

[Sugar100]

I will settle for a. Guy I’m not attracted to 😞 it’s only guy I met my entire life that wants babies soon, a girlfriend, a wife. I’m tired be single. The guys I’m attracted to won’t be my boyfriend 😓 even the ugly nerdy guys I like won’t be my boyfriend & meet family 😞

That’s was all I wanted meet family and live together as boyfriend girlfriend and it won’t come true with someone I wang

@Sugar100

you're only 27, too young to settle. Don't settle until you're at least 30. Go for a guy who will make a good husband / father, sacrificial person. treat him well and you will have a lifetime marriage.

People will always tell you that you should stay happy being single UNTIL, you find yourself 60 years old with no kids, no husband, living all alone in an empty apartment. while all your friends have 8 grand kids, 2 son in laws, daughter in laws, sons , daughters coming over to visit them every so often. Meanwhile you have absolutely no one who cares for you in your empty silent apartment

[Sugar100]

This guy wants girlfriend/ wife come home to wife daily & hav kids, I don’t think I’ll be able find guy that i like to like me back in 2 more years. 😞 that’s y I want settle for this guy.

[Sugar100]

If I don’t settle for this guy wut if I’m 2 years wen I’m 30 I don’t find guy that wants babies girlfriend and wife? Guys I like don’t want be my first boyfriend and I’m 27 already, if I can’t get a boyfriend then I’ll need settle for this guy I don’t feel attracted to.

@Sugar100

you can have babies as a single woman. just make sure you are financially stable.
that's what I am doing.
if you settle too much and marry a bad man, you will end up being divorced anyways. better to just raise the kid alone or find a co parent

[VanillaSalt]

When you decide you settle. Regardless what you want nobody is completely what anyone is looking for.

[DishLady]

Nope.

[marialovee]

No and I ended up pissed off.

[msc545]

No, it never works out well.
