Women, Did you settle for a man who was less than you wanted?

Answer 1

Absolutly Not!!!! you should never settle for anything less than. If you wait long enough you will find someone whom is more than what you could ever want.

Answer 2

I don't know what you mean... It's really the balance of the traits that makes a person less, or more, desirable. Sure, I may have a picture of an "ideal" man in mind who posesses all of the traits I consider attractive; but will I ever find him in real life? Certainly not. I'm willing to accept the less desirable traits, as long as they're not over-shadowing the more desirable ones. Compromise is key to a successful relationship. I would not, however, "settle" for something that would clearly make me very unhappy in the long run.

Answer 3

I did, once.
Knew before the wedding that I didnt want to go through with it but I did it anyway because of feeling guilt over the amount of money my parents spent on the wedding and the amount of people who showed up for the ceremony. Also, because he and I were friends, I didnt want to embarrass him that way by calling it off. So instead I suffered in silence for 2 years telling myself I could grow to love him.....

Gotta tell you, it doesnt work

After falling into a deep depression I said enough is enough and filed for divorce.

But, there is a happy ending here.
After that I made a promise to myself to never settle again and since then I've found the man of my dreams and my ex is happily remarried.

Answer 4

yes i did and i regretted it...i married him because i thought i could you know, just deal or look over the inconsistancys that he had, and it was financially better for me to be married to him than not..but it didnt work out and i ended up in a financial ruin. Its been a year and a half and im FINANALLY financially recovering from the divorce. I was over the marriage 6 months before the divorce. I had to live with it for that long because of his controlling insecure attitude. But im happier now than i ever have been, im with somebody who is absolutely wonderful and im not settling, im lucky to have such an amazing man.

Answer 5

I did once thinking he would change, ha ha ha, funny s**t huh? but ever since then i never settled, if there was something i didn't like, i ended it right away, and now i have found what i have been looking for and honestly never been this happy. He adds to the happiness in my life and I am thankful for him every day!

Answer 6

Yes and once you settle for less it's hard to get rid of that person and be prepared to go through some hell and high water.

Answer 7

No, I was blessed with finding a guy by complete accident who not only exceeded my standards, but did it in such a way that he became the new standard. I'm very happy with my boyfriend, and I'm glad I didn't settle for somebody else.

Answer 8

Ladies with self-respect and goals should not settle for anything less in a man that they didn't want. Not only is she disrespecting him, she's wasting her time and herself.

Answer 9

haven't settled till now... but wouldnt wanna settle for less than wht i want.. though u nvr knw with time people change and he might become the man i wanted

Answer 10

nope. i know that i treat my man as best as i can. i constantly think of him, i constantly Want to do things to make him happy. i buy him things. i think of his family. i take care of all things regarding Him. *therefore*...i deserve that too!! my boyfriend is currently learning how to do this for me...it's taking a lot longer and is much harder than i realized! =T...he didn't learn how to treat a woman as he was growing up, and now has to learn it. i'm trying to be patient; as long as he's willing, i'm willing. but when he stops trying, that's when i'm going to have to leave. not because i am being "mean"...but because i know that i try extremely hard to learn what he needs and wants, and to satisfy that; and so i need him to appreciate and learn to do what I need as well.
