HzChldSomewhere in the middle, Oklahoma USA55 Threads 2,779 Postsfor that Special Someone, I am sure we all have ideas of what we are looking for...what we will accept and what we will not. I suppose the trick is to not "settle" for less than what we desire. However, it does happen. 
Why do you think we sometimes settle for less?

Because most people are looking for another to complete them when they would
be advised to start out with a relationship filled up and able to work, play, create
'along with' a partner. If love is what is being sought out and not 'trading needs'
then a commitment can be made and sticking with each other through the difficulties.

Then just make an agreement to 'be in trade' with each other and learn
about yourself through them, and they through you. But be honest about it.

I could be wrong with this but it seems to me that it is generally more important to women (not all, of course) to be in a relationship that to a guy. Hence, women tend to settle more often than men. At least it seems to be that way in my experience. I would never settle by the way.

You may have a very valid point there, FunGuyWithBrain...

I could be wrong with this but it seems to me that it is generally more important to man (not all, of course) to be in a relationship that to a woman. Hence, men tend to settle more often than women. At least it seems to be that way in my experience. I would never settle by the way.
How does that sound to you?
condesending
(Not the way I feel, btw. Hope not to settle, though, a disservice to both.)

Making a blanket statement that 'it is generally more important to women (not all, of course) to be in a relationship that to a guy. Hence, Women tend to settle more often than men. '
That is condesending and rather bigoted. It's a statement that is untrue. Many, many men are co-dependent. Many men seem to marry again very quickly after a bad marriage. Many men tend to run to another relationship soon after a breakup. This 'seems' to happen. But no blanket statements from me.

Generalisations can seem condescending to the listener/reader whether or not that was the intent. I have my own bucket and I don't want to be swept into an " generally more x than y" collective bucket.

FunGuy...if your response was condescending, I missed it.

I extend my apologies if the question I posed caused any harsh feelings between the members here. I assure you that was NOT my intention. I am new to the Forums here and think we, as adults, can learn from each other. I know everyone has different opinions and to me, that is ok.
I think some of the answers were from experiences that others have had and/or observations made. I took/take no offense to any answers posted.
