Jerry or Elaine, usually, and sometimes George or Kramer would find the love of their lives early in an episode. Then they would find some little imperfection: “Man hands,” retrograde attitude to abortion, funny-sounding laugh, and so on, and dump them by the end of the show.
This was common as well on SATC. The other party had to be perfect from the get-go. Remember when Charlotte almost married a guy, but dumped him because she couldn’t stand his taste in wedding china?
I recall a 2000 TIME article about empowered thirtysomething women refusing to “settle.” If only we could stay 34 forever... Where are they now? Do you suppose?
I vaguely recall watching that episode and from what I remember, Charlotte and that guy (who was overly eager to get married) had only been dating a few weeks when that happened.

Why should people settle? Does settling make for a happy future when (at least) one person in the marriage realizes that he or she settled and hates his/her life?
