I was talking the other day with someone about a girl we grew up with (that wasn't what one would call a "looker") who had recently gotten engaged to be married. I asked them If they could get married what is wrong with me? to which the other told me "most people just settle, where you do not."

Later that evening it struck me funny as I reflected on the conversation that there is a colloquial phrase "to settle down" - and I laughed because when people are said "settle down" they get married. I do tend to be very particular where the other sex is concerned and have oft said I do not settle for what I consider sub-standard,so I guess I will never be one to settle down....
