I think most people settle for each other so I can't say whether men do it more than woman or vice versa. I do think women get fed up with what they settled for faster than men tho.

And I think a lot of this is because women can afford to. If divorce laws were more equal I doubt that would be the case tbh.

No

Men tend to have less benchmarks to hit than women so it's easier to find someone to be with.

Men settle too but women settle far more because they have far higher expectations

Want a quick example? Just look at womens dating standards as they age

Women age 16-21
Wants a prince or baller or celebrety.
He has to have lots of money.
Cant be balding.
Good looking.
Not an inch under 6'4"
Every woman must want him but he must be loyal to her and her only

Women 22-28
HE must have personality
Dress well and smell good
She prefers he be 6'4" but willl take 6'2" if she has to
Must have a job good job
He cannot have children yet

Women 29-35
All the sudden she's okay with a bald head
As long as he has a job
As long as he's taller than her in heels of course.
As long as he doesnt have multiple baby mamas

Women 36-45
As long as she loves him
All the sudden nerds/smart men who lack personality are fine
And she dont care what her friends think of him anymore as long as hes paying the bills and aint cheating

I think that's part of the question though.

If a 5'2 185 pound single mother of two, benchmark is to have a man that is the 6 feet, 6 figures, 6 pack prototype, but she has to deal with Joe who is a manager at Walmart and they both make comparable salaries did she really settle? :mjpls:

Yeah Joe didn't meet her benchmarks, but her benchmarks are completely unrealistic to begin with. Are we really going to throw her in the settled category because of that? :sas2:

That's the part I don't know.

My gut is that just by the traditional gender roles men are set to have less benchmarks.
