Do ya suppose that because we're single (and some of us stubbornly so) that we need to believe that people in couples have somehow 'settled' for less than they hoped for?
Do ya suppose that it makes us feel better, justifies our status, by declaring publicly, over and over again that "we will not settle". Oh no, we are single because we are discerning.
Do ya suppose that if we met someone who was a good enough fit we'd think that there is no real distinction between 'settling' and 'compromising' and we'd just get on with being as happy as we could manufacture?
Do ya suppose that if we did 'settle' we'd read these threads with a mixture of pity, and gentle mocking scorn?
or
Do ya suppose something else entirely?
