Settle? nope.
Perfect example of why...
Me: "Could you grab me a beer? I'm playing Deus Ex."
Her: "Get it yourself, I'm finishing Fable 3... and get me one too!"
I've got a keeper.
Fable 3? I think a mistake has been made...

Lol, jk, glad you have a girl who's into gaming.

If it makes it any better, she complained like a ***** when she finished it.

"Fable 3 was soo much worse than fable 2... which didn't even come close to fable: TLC!! Why would anyone make a spellcasting-swordfighting game and replace bows and crossbows with pistols and rifles? how does that make sense?! AND WHAT'S WITH THE GUILD SEAL SYSTEM...."
the rest of her rant was a blur to me... I've gotten used to it.

I think what I could be described as doing right now is called 'punching above your weight'.

My fiancée is better than me in every single way (except, thankfully, for penis size).
I bet you didn't beat her by much. I kid, I kid. This one made me laugh. Same with your User name.

I didn't think I was settling with my current girlfriend. But now each day feels like I'm settling more and more. Its one of those things thats just kinda filling the time until I go for the girl I've been patient waiting for till were both out of high school and we would be able to give it a real shot.

Gosh, yes.
But the guy I'm dating is amazing. He's sweet, supportive, intelligent, talented, handsome and we're on the same wave length about a lot of important things.

But he is not "THE ONE".

He has no ambition, nothing that drives him, and he's immature. On top of that, he's high maintenance emotionally. None of those are my ideal traits. But when everything else is fine, I'm not one to complain.

Sometimes there's nothing wrong with settling. After all, my ideal guy, intelligent, confident, ambitious, community service driven, probably doesn't exist. And I can't help but wonder if that guy isn't who I want to be but in male form. Someone I can aspire to, someone to emulate.

I doubt that guy and I would have a good relationship.

My girlfriend in High School... Yes I settled. And I fully regret it. I was a HUGE nerd in school before it was pretty much accepted as normal, (why was I not born 5 years later?) and so when I heard that this girl I knew nothing about thought I was cute, I jumped at the chance.

Now, as for our relationship,we broke up about 6 times, and ended up going back to each other. Hell, one time she broke up with me over talking to a female co-worker. And before that she broke up with me over not remembering our 2 month anniversary... WHO CELEBRATES THAT SHORT OF TIME? Oh... yeah.... 16 year old morons...

Than I left for 3 days on my senior class trip, and it was probably the best 3 days of my life. I even thought of calling her and breaking up with her as soon as I got to New York, but decided against it when I remembered she was the kind of girl who is NEVER single for more than 2 days. Anyways some stuff happened on the trip (I sorta cheated on her), and I was going to break up as soon as I got back. Turns out I'm a horrible person, because I got home, her parents were out... can you see where this is going?

After that we were still together for about a month. We broke up shortly after I graduated because "She can't handle a long distance relationship" (We live 5 minutes away from each other)

She than start spreading rumors that I raped her, and still doesn't know why I refuse to talk to her (and this is 6 years afterwards). She also looks like a meth addict now.

Since than, No. I don't settle unless it's something that isn't a big deal in the long run. I don't have that high of standards, but I have them.

Nope, she's wonderful in every way, but I don't really think she settled very much with me either,

She defiantly did settle but she has done a lot worse!

My perfect woman happens to be Paragon Femshep and I will never get that.

This being said, I wouldn't change who I have for the world. I don't personally think there is one person who is perfect for anyone. Aside from a few very small ticks no, I didn't settle.

HA! There will never be a woman attracted to me, even if I was the last guy on earth!
Sounds a lot like me. I suffer from "most women treat me like a kid brother" Basically, I'm kinda screwed.

Last relationship I had I went from a girl that modeled for Heineken, to a chubby whiny emo, not only did I settle, but I fucking downgraded. That mistake was quickly rectified tho.

Hmm, the last time I 'settled', I dated a girl for 2 and a half years. If I had known that I would be dating that long, I would've gotten to know her better to be perfectly honest.

So yeah, that REALLY sucked when it ended. I wound up being used as a crutch for fucking everything, and she was on the receiving end of some ear blistering rants about how we could be better than we were. Oh my God, the fights... I'm still emotionally drained a year on.

Only, we couldn't really be better. We didn't know each other well enough before we 'settled'... and fuck, at the end I realised that I didn't even like who she was becoming as a person. I'm genuinely getting to know a girl VERY fucking well before I commit to something like that emotionally again.

I don't think "settling" is the right word. My boyfriend and I were not perfect for each other when we first started dating, but we grew closer and now I am very much in love with him. If we had not taken the time to work past each others flaws we would not have been were we are today. Relationships take work, and I feel like people need to realize that "perfection" takes time.

Following the logic of "if she isnt completely perfect in every way you settled for her" then yeah I guess I did, but honestly no more than she did for me. We have our differences and she does little things that annoy me sometimes but honestly shes fantastic and we connect on a lot of other levels so neither of us sweat the little things.

Edit: I suppose all things said I Dont settle though, since I've dated a few girls before or received some pretty blatant signals and basically wasnt interested in going anywhere beyond friendship with them. So yeah I guess I refuse to settle now that I think about it.

My wife plays D&D, sometimes has new videogame mods for me to try out when I wake up, is probably the smartest person I know, I got her an epic flying mount for our anniversary and she loved it, she's low maintenance (refused to wear a dress for our wedding, went in pants), and those are just the things I can mention in polite company. :)

So, no. I did not settle. :p
