Should Women Settle?
Lori Gottleib of Atlantic Monthly argues that if women of a certain age want a traditional family and they're not already married, they better settle for a guy who less than their ideal:
"My advice is this: Settle! That’s right. Don’t worry about passion or intense connection. Don’t nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling “Bravo!” in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year."
Whoa! Provocative, right? Do you agree with her take on this?
