I just finished reading an article from the March 2008 Atlantic called "Marry Him" by Lori Gottelieb(http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200803/single-marry). In the article she advises women to settle for guys who may not fit her standards. Her reasoning?? time flies quickly and soon you'll be 35 years-old and unmarried pretending that you're okay with it when deep down inside you really aren't.
I'm not so sure I can agree with this. I personally know that I have very high standards and few males (in my 18 years of living...lol) have come close to meeting them. I'm not saying that every guy has to be perfect because clearly that will never be the case with males but women who lower their standards will be unhappy and always wonder about how a lifetime with 'Mr.Right' would've been when their 'Mr.Good Enough' inevitably(oh,it will defintely happen!)lets them down.
My thoughts on Lori Gottelieb??? She is a 40 year-old woman who has a child through sperm donation, is lacking in her love life and she is clearly very,very lonely. LADIES, please don't ever settle, even if it takes time to find "the one for you", when it finally occurs think of the elation you will experience knowing that your dreams for the perfect partner will have been met.
