This is insulting. I am looking for a deeper connection in a man than some money grubbing tool. I would settle for a down to earth poet or musician over a god or king or someone who thinks he is.


I think settle is completely the wrong word to use. That's pretty cold.

Status doesn't equal money. A musician or poet who performs and does so well will have a fairly high status within his or her peer group. A person can be a meth-snorting welfare addict and still have high status as the guild leader in a high end gaming guild.

*PS* Money-grubbing is fun, you should try it.

She said she DIDN'T want any more "bad boys"! You should have seen that rejection coming.

I think people are getting really hung up on the word "settle." I never saw it offensive or cold at all, but it seems to have become a big deal.

If a guy said to me, "I'd settle for a poet or an artist," I wouldn't take offense to it. I think it's just being used here as a figure of speech--she's not literally saying that to find the right guy--the guy she wants to take a chance with, or spend her life with-- is some kind of lame "settling."

Of course, if a guy said, "I tried to find a rich, virginal, supermodel, because that's what I really want....but I'll settle for a poet." Then it would be offensive (unless a joke). But I really don't think the OP meant "settle" in the way it seems to be being received in this thread. Maybe she is, but she hasn't shown that to me yet.

I took it that way. I'm not saying she necessarily meant it that way; just saying it could be taken that way.

True. Because I seem to have limited room for expressing my opinion without being warned or banned, I'll simply agree with that.

That's a very good point, and I totally agree.

But earlier in the thread, people were taking offense to the fact that she used to want "bad boys." As if she were just trying to settle for something less with an AS person.

And the impression I get from her posts so far is that yes, she did want this guy (or guys) who she dated. Just like we all (hopefully) want the person we date, but he (they) hurt her and she learned that she made a mistake by taking a chance on this type of guy. And now she doesn't want to look for those guys anymore, because she learned that they are not that great at all.

So my comment wasn't really directed at you, except in the context of all the other previous posts flaming the OP. I don't think yours was a flame or anything, but a good observation. I guess I just feel bad for her because it seems like she just got her heart broken and a lot of angry guys hijacked this thread (or maybe a couple angry guys with a lot of posts).
