settle for whatever she can get in a man? Is it somewhere around 30 yrs old?

HAH! You are young...I can tell because you make 30 sound like a hopeless age. I am 31.
I am single right now and wouldn't mind finding someone I am crazy about and is equally crazy about me. In the meantime, I am living a very fullfiling life. I have great family and friends and enjoy my career. I go out with my friends, enjoy the night scene, babysit other people's rug rats and play their favourite grown up, hike, run half marathons, sky dive, row, date casually, dine at nice restaurants. I love to share a bottle of wine with a close friend or someone I am attracted to. I still like to play basket ball with my brothers or take weekend retreats or a day at the beach with my girlfriends. I can never pass up a game of football in the park!
I may be in my 30s, but I feel pretty good. I think I will feel pretty good for a very long time after my 30s. Love will come, when it comes, if it comes. If it doesn't, I won't settle. I can take care of myself. If I don't find that special someone, I will be one of those women all the married women gossip about;)

It's not an age thing. It's a state of mind, and men do the same thing. Some people start to give up and settle for the safe bet rather than what they really want as early as their teens; some are strong and proud enough to wait their whole lives for what they really want.
(Btw, I'm almost 30, and nowhere near ready to settle for second best.)

I am a 40 year old woman and I have never "settled" for anyone.. my husband is 28 and I got together with him when he was 25 and I was 37. I wanted to have kids before and adopted one and had one with a friend because I had not found the man I wanted at that time... I waited, never settled and found him eventually.

A woman should never settle for whatever she can get, someone that does that has a low self esteem and has not learned how to love themselves enough to know that a man isnt' what will make her happy. A woman (or man for that matter) is responsible for each their own happiness. Settle??? NOT AN OPTION!!!:D

NEVER!
Unless the woman is totally pathetic and very low self-esteem, she will never, ever settle for "whatever she can get".
Any woman with any self-respect or worth having will know she is better off alone that with a "Cling-On" that is less than nothing suck her energy and her finances dry and feel more alone when they are together than than do being alone.

I'm 36 and if anything, my standards are getting higher. I'm a LOT more picky now than I was at 20, because I like my life and am not interested in messing it up for just any guy. The hot but vapid jerks, screwballs, and bad boys that I went for at 21 are still coming around as much now as ever, but I don't want them any more. I can do a lot better for myself.

nah, everyone is different... it all has to do with her self-esteem, whether or not she wants kids, and what her goals are in life....
some settle way early cause they are scared they will never find anyone... others dont settle for nothing less than perfection and find it at the ripe ol age of 50... nothing wrong with that ...

a woman should never just settle.
men are a dime a dozen,there is no reason to just settle.
there are men out their who are great,
,just stop looking,let it just happen.
30 is still young to just settle down and really age does not matter.

its kinda of interesting question because some woman start settling at 11! then they wonder why they cant find someone who really respects them... but I guess there is that whole "I am almost 30 and still alone so anyone will do" thing going on as well... but I dunno...
Happy Monday

Yeah, the desperate ones do. But the ones who are not desperate do not need to have a man to have a fulfilling, happy life.
