When I talk about settling, I refer to people who would rather stay in relationships with drug addicts, alcoholics, and people who physically and emotionally abuse them, than hold out and be single for a while until a respectful, decent person comes along.
I would never do those things, but I feel that since I can't be lumped perfectly into some sort of clique, or because I don't have the "right" religious or political views, or because I don't make enough money or look like a movie star, that I am the type of person that one would date as a last resort.
I feel that since I don't make enough money, my romantic prospects are the same as those for a drug addict, alcoholic, or wife-beater.
