Most girls will say that they don't settle but the truth is a lot of them do.
Girls, would you rather... (relationship)

I'd rather be single and wait for the idea guy. I've had my desperate times where I just settled for whatever came my way... and it didn't turn out
so great.

I have some others... Non-smoker. I'm a sucker for big brown eyes.  I want someone who can discuss art, politics, current events, science,
etc. - geeky things. Not high-maintenance, high-and-mighty, or difficult to please.
All in all, my biggest criteria (beyond the physical attraction - if you're not attracted to someone, you won't be into kissing or having sex with them, and those are big staples to a romantic relationship ) is being sweet. Someone with a big heart, who cares about other people, who is positive and
tries to lift other people up instead of bring them down. I'm drawn to that sort of person. Even someone with a career that directly helps other people
in some way.

my list is LONG! But they are more about they are things I think any reasonable woman who loves and respects herself would want. Then there are things
like being passionate about career, financially stable, generous, patient, disciplined, sense of humor, doesnt want children, well dressed, romantic without
being a sissy, domestic, someone who works out, eats well, etc.
Basically, Im looking for a really good guy who will compliment who I am as a person - and that I am crazy attracted to and want to be around. I may be asking for a lot but its better than setting the bar too low.

People tell me I'm too picky, but IDK.
Basically, I just like tall guys, with an average build and dark hair. They have to be gentlemanly, generous, mature, hard working, and respectful. I don't think that's a lot to ask for, but nowadays it seems impossible to find. I don't believe in settling either, but I can't say that I never would. I need relationship experience and I can't keep waiting for Mr. Tall-Dark-And Handsome to show up... |

I love your honesty, Courtney Love. Very cool.
I have REALLY high standards, and they're the reason I got married as young as I did. My husband is AWESOME 
BUT if I wasn't married, I don't think I'd be single and lonely. I love sex too much to go without. I'd be the Samantha until the right
guy came round.

I don't settle.. that's why I've been single for so long and have only had one boyfriend.

There are some things I won't settle on (will not be with someone who hurts/abuses me, treats me horribly, etc.) but I'm not going to say I have to
have the perfect man either. No one is perfect and if you are to picky you'll pass right by some really good people if you always have your blinders on
looking for the "best".
I think there are things to stand your ground on, for sure, but eventually your standards may change and adapt to your circumstances. |

I kind of felt like CL except I had a different timeline. I knew I didn't want to spend my life alone, but I didn't mind being single. The plan was to
enjoy being single and then if no one magically appeared when I was finished with my last degree (around late 20s) then I would join match.com and date until I
found someone I could stand. My "schedule" got messed up though when my SO showed up. Not that that is a bad thing!

Single. Forever. As of right now, I have absolutely NO interest in ever ever EVER being in a relationship again.

My views on guys are too jacked up for me to be in a relationship until it's fixed. Right now, fixing those views are some of the least of my concerns, so
I'm totally cool with being alone.

Yeah, if you're not emotionally ready it's definitely to be alone.
I've never really been in a long-term relationship, so to me being single is the norm. I truly think some people are meant to be alone and I'm one of them. I don't think I'm too complicated/difficult, I just don't have that kind of "luck" you need sometimes to meet the right person.
