I've been running into people I haven't seen in years; after we catch up, I somehow wind up meeting or interacting with whoever they're involved with. What is seriously shocking to me, is how the people I know who are good looking, intelligent, etc. are settling for whatever/ whoever will have them- regardless of the baggage, or even major issues......
It seriously makes me wonder......
I think as people get older they relax their "standards"... is all I can assume....... musical chairs.... people don't wanna get left without a chair.... I guess....
In other words, the older models can't compete with the newer younger models so they have to lower their price to get something rather then nothing at all.

Is that what it's come to for some people?
But in a certain sense, everyone has to settle. They have to settle because the fact is, no two people are ever perfectly right for each other. No two people are ever perfectly compatible. Everyone wants The One. Well, guess what? The One is a myth. The One is a lie. The One does not exist. Even the people we love the most are going to anger, frustrate and disappoint us at times. They are going to have baggage.

Sometimes you meet people who just fit right into your world regardless of whatever problem that they may have. I know for me, the only woman who really rocked my boat was a gorgeous mix race chick that had a cocaine problem and lived the crazy fast life. I was her "ground wire" so we complemented each other...
As a matter of fact, sometimes it's all those issues and baggage that makes a person appealing sometimes...

It sounds as though YOU decided they are settling, they don't seem to be looking at it that way
You know, when people fall in love and truly care about someone they make a conscious choice to take on that person's "baggage". The difference is, they don't look at it as burden the way you do.

Everyone sees things differently. I am unhappily single. I'm not unhappy exactly and I could be with someone but I don't want to settle. I feel many around me have so I share your opinion but until you walk in someone else's shoes who can really say? I was with someone once who felt he'd be settling if he stayed with me. Of course all my friends and family thought I was too good for him and you know, I was. I was faithful and I really loved him. But since he wasn't as into it as me, he felt he'd be settling staying with me. Maybe fidelity and someone who would have stood by him no matter what isn't high on his list of priorities. And that is his choice. Also everyone else's choice who they are with weather we see it to be settling or not.
